'set in his ways' isn't an alternative for being ignorant.

So I guess BB felt they could chance it!

No offence, but if Im honest i really don't care about how many films he's done ,I judge him on him being in BB ,his credentials don't impress me

Well he will presumably have to have passed the BB's psych tests - and that's what they go on... not on what fans on forums think!

[Cal.]

If it's face to face no one will nominate him

[Locke.]

Gary is going to say offensive things throughout the entire show, that is just the type of person he is.

He won't go first though, not a chance.

Good on James for pulling Gary up on it, I don't care what age you are there no need to have attudies like that, hope he's evicted soon, he's been my least favourite since launch night.

[*mazedsalv**]

I know for sure Gary is not homophobic, I have seen him on numerous TV shows, and the amount of times he has said he is accepting of everyone, I guess because in the UK, we have turned into a right PC place, in the US, you can say something like that knowing you won't get in trouble because in your own heart, you know you are not homophobic, but in the UK, everything is off limits.

Its vote to save so he can behave as badly as he wants now and still stay.

Wasn't it James that started this gay thing tho...bending over and being silly?

[Nell_McCoy]

Even if I were convinced that his remarks were not homophobic "Butt-****ed" is hardly becoming language for a gentleman in his 70's who is a guest in the country and on public television

There will always be conflict between comedy and political correctness. Its the nature of the beast. Personally, I think its best not to take these things to seriously, I'm sure the housemates aren't, its a show

James seemed to make a big deal out of it.

I do hope James isn't a silly PC person...that would be very disappointing.

It doesn't matter if he didn't mean to offend. The fact of the matter is he did. That's not an excuse.

And that is the problem with the super sensitive and uber PC UK

Who offended you most James or Gary?

..while I agree that homophobic comments aren't good, I do also think that 'intent' is just as important and also the context of him following on a 'joke' that someone else started...in fact the person who took the most offence started it with his 'jokes'...

..I don't know, maybe I'm looking at it all wrong but I haven't heard of Gary making homophobic comments which have offended in the past and he is 70yrs old, so I would find it hard to believe that if he was homophobic, he would go on a UK reality show and 'reveal' that within a few days, when it's never been something that we've seen before..?...that doesn't make sense to me...and maybe I'm wrong again but although no prejudice remarks are good..I think there also has to be humour allowed for otherwise it all gets a bit silly and no one can feel they can joke about anything..of course, a joke that is meant offensively shouldn't never be acceptable but I don't think this was....

[lostalex]

The only one who is homophobic is James, because he thinks being called gay is offensive, why is he so offended being thought of as gay unless he thinks there is something werong with being gay?

If someone called me straight i wouldn't get so angry.

**** him.

That being said, Gary is annoying and aggressive. but he's not homophobic.

..do you know of Gary ever saying anything homophobic before in interviews or anything..?..because it's really odd that he would 'reveal' a prejudice after 70yrs of age that he hasn't done before within days of going into the house...

[delta]

FFS- same old judgemental sh!t on this forum by the same posters.

If you look at the clip back you will see all 3 were making light of a possible homosexual 'happening' Leslie donned the white glove , Jordan bent over and as said " assume the position" Leslie then " made a one fingered stabbing motion towards the bent over James Jordan, it was at this point that Gary made - what he thought-rightly or wrongly his remark about getting butt fcuked.

How the hell you can isolate Gary for that is ridiculous. What you can say about the incident is that James Jordan is a GRADE A PR!CK.

First of all you don't threaten a 70 year old man.

Secondly, it' s quite clear that there isn't something quite right with Gary, so you cut him some slack.

James Jordan - as Louis Spence says- is an odious son of a biatch and feels threatened by Gary. There was no need to try and show Gary up or make a point of it, it could have passed as - at worst- an awkward moment.

nope, i've seen him on many other american reality shows, and he is always annoying and aggressive, but he's not hateful or homophobic at all.
