Fat people exist. Fat people are beautiful. Fat people deserve a chance to find love.

And finally, fat people deserve social platforms and capital, just as much as the 1,100+ previous thin contestants who’ve received this opportunity. 

The time is right to rectify this harmful exclusion. Now is the time for the Bachelor franchise to do the bare minimum and start being inclusive of all bodies. 

Roses For Every Body is calling for fat inclusion beginning with the next season of The Bachelor, slated for January 2023. 

The campaign is specifically making five demands of the Bachelor franchise, its creator Mike Fleiss, NZK Productions, Warner Bros., and ABC 

1. Cast a minimum of five diverse fat people each season of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette.

2. Give equitable, non-fat identity-focused screen time to the fat contestants.

3. Choose leads who specify that they will date diverse fat people.

4. Provide support to fat contestants, including inclusive clothing options when required for sponsored events and mental health support to navigate anti-fat harassment from the audience.

5. Hire fat staff and production and incorporate fat inclusion training from fat liberationists.
