'Big Brother' Jeff -- Homophobic Shots At Dumbledore

7/13/2011 6:10 AM PDT by TMZ Staff

'Harry Potter' ignited a homophobic firestorm inside the "Big Brother' house ... after castmember Jeff Schroeder said he would never send his kid to a "fantasy camp" run by Dumbledore ... because he's gay. 071311_jeff_homophobe_still



It all went down inside the BB house last night -- during a live feed on the Internet -- when Jeff and Kalia began talking about the fact J.K. Rowling wrote Dumbledore as a gay character.

Jeff -- shocked by the revelation -- says, "He's in a school with little kids, you can't make that guy gay!"

He added, "It isn't right to have it in a little kids book, and have the head master locked away in this magical land, be gay. That isn't the right kind of writing to do."

Kalia responded, "Why? Gay men can't work with little kids!?" ... adding, "Just because he is gay, doesn't mean there is a thing wrong with him."

This isn't the first time Jeff has been involved in a homophobic situation on the show ... back in 2009, he used a gay slur to attack a fellow housemate.

So far, no comment from CBS.

You beat me, Chris. I was just going to post this.

I watched it the first time and thought maybe he was getting at the fact that it is too stereotypical to write the character gay due to the magical land scenario. After I watched it again, I feel like he was just waiting for someone to agree with him, giving him license to go off on a tangent about gays around other people's kids.

Oh boy Jeff is going to get a lot of feedback on this. I didn't know he was homophobic but then again is it something he really said or was it twisted by camera tricks? Either way he is in for it.

Tony, that was from the live feeds, so the conversation would be actual.

During his season, he called Russell a "f-g" and there was backlash from that. He should have learned from that to keep those thoughtless and hateful sentiments in his head.

He insulted a fictional character. I'm not going to get too upset about it. Life's got bigger problems than what some guy on TV says about a gay character in a fantasy series.

Your watching Big Brother? I thought you said you won't watch it?
