I'm sure Gary meant no offence and was only joking. He may be old fashioned, but he respects everyone.

Age isn't really an excuse though. I know plenty of people older than him who are fine.

I don't think he meant to offend anyone.

He is stuck in a time warp.

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

..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....

If everyone went through life not able to do anything in case one might offend someone, there would be no point in living. Complete pseudo PC bollocks
