If he gets that wound up and threatens to hit a 70 year old simply because he didn't like being jokingly called "gay" then he clearly has problems.

It was James that started that whole nonsense off in the first place.

What homophobia are we talking about - the bending over joke by James in front of Leslie? or Gary's vulgar continuation of it ? - either could be construed as homophobic. Now I've seen the whole think I think both were out of order but James was also arrogant and unfairly self-righteous about how the whole incident which HE started panned out.

Agreed.

James needs to be picked up on that.

gary wasn't being homophobic, he was joking about james bending over telling leslie to stick his hand in his ass. aka getting butt****ed.

[JoshBB]

He never threatened to hit him? What the ****?

[Heaven = Winner]

He didn't threaten Gary though.

I don't like how offended and aggressive James got during that little misunderstanding, though. It's good to watch as a viewer, but it shows that he has some attitude issues imo.

[Pete.]

Gary's the one that has problems tbh

He did it on purpose. He laughed about it at first and joked about a "cheeky finger" and then decided to get all butt hurt.

What homophobic comment would that be?

How many gayers do you see donning a white glove prior to inserting fist/finger or whatever up another mans bum?

The joke was about going to the doctors for a rectal examination.

[Sophiee]

james never threatened anybody?
gary was clearly at fault here in my opinion; homophobia or signs of are taken seriously nowadays and I think james was right to call him out on it because whether he's homophobic or not, his comment could have come across offensively so it was a future warning for him.

a) no it couldn't, because
b) it wasn't
and c) if James is so sensitive to these issues then perhaps refrain from crude "ooh I'm bending over how gay loool x" jokes in the first place, and also refrain from immediately grunting "**** off" in response to questions of his sexuality.

I don't think it was meant to be an offensive comment either but the fact is that it has offended some people and I can see why despite not being personally offended. I think it was more to do with gary's choice of words; james did nothing wrong here.

Fact? Where are these offended people? I don't see any.

And except overreact and proceed to bitch and whine about it all day before actually talking it out with Gary, but OK

all over social media even some on this very forum.
and why the assumptions that they didn't talk it over straight away?

..yep..you can't make jokes about something and then take offence when someone does the same and follows on with it...

This, I have strangely warmed to him more tonight

If James was the one who said the butt hurt thing he would be getting hate from everywhere..

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Oh ffs it wasn't homophobic. I agree that James has some issues.

[Livia]

James wouldn't stand up because he was afraid Gary was going to hang one on him. I'd have quite enjoyed that.

Even lesley took offence and said he ran quick
