Agree 100%
Was given Rylan the benefit of the doubt/:But this is sadly turning to the Rylan show and because he is so much like Govan it shocks me how popular he is

I agree!
I seem to remember Govan getting lots of love near the beginning so hopefully Everyone begins to see Rylan for who he is ( and he was my third favourite on launch night, dropped down to like 5th last night and now i dont think ill be able to watch him for 3 weeks, although i will give him the benefit of the doubt if he gets over speidi)

[Rob!]

He is absolutely doing my tree in. I, frankly, would like to "drop him out" of a window.

If you used it to describe all gay men, it is homophobic. He used it to describe a man who acts like a girl, Rylans sexuality was not taken into consideration hence the context girlyboy was used in is not homophobic.

But he used it as a derogatory term for Rylan, which then takes the context to homophobia. It's not the first time the op has done this.

Was livias redneck comment about spencer xenophobic then?...
he does act girly..he is a girlyboy.
And he is going to win CBB!

[Good King Glennceslas]

Livias comment was off the cuff and it was deleted straight away. The op has been homophobic on more than one occasion.

As someone who is that way inclined myself, it offends me.

If he had been the mods would have done something, maybe you are just being a bit oversensitive?
What do you mean that way inclined, to be girly?

[Good King Glennceslas]

No gay kizzy. I'm not camp

There's no denying that Rylan is camp, and a bit over dramatic.

The fact that his campness is being used as an insult is homophobic.

[Candy Annie Cane]

Had the OP not made various under handed slurs about Rylans sexuality from the launch, IMO blatantly baiting people "girlyboy" probably wouldnt have caused a stir. Regardless of what other people have said in their posts I think this member is just out to get a reaction.

Could have sworn you mentioned a girlfriend once!
I must be senile....(watchit!)
Oh well, if girly/camp or whatever is offensive then best the OP find a better description then.
Rylan is still going to win though!

..I agree..the OP has made several derogatory remarks about Rylan and was asked to change a thread title which was offensive..the 'girlyboy' thing isn't a one off or the most offensive thing they've posted..which is why members continue to be offended....

..I'm aware of the 'redneck' comment that Livia made, as it was in a quote to me..it was said as an obvious tongue in cheek remark, which people make all the time on forums and not derogatory at all...I think the OP is clutching at straws and trying to deflect from him/herself....either that, or as you say Annie...trying to cause reactions....anyone on this forum who is aware of Livia as a poster knows she's not homophobic, xenophobic or any other type of phobic...she's quite phobic-free....

So does that mean all those that taunt Marcus about Claire/Beckys weight and call Claire names are in the wrong too,as that is also insulting,but people think that is funnyWhy is it ok for some to call people but not others,this is not a pop at you btw,just curious as to what is the difference

[The Penguin]

I'm not anti-gay. I liked that gay welsh rugby player who was on a few series back. Can't remember his name. My comments about Rylan are directed at his campness. I just wish they would have more normal gay people on. I think that Rylan acts like a stereotype.

Thankyou Cherie.isn't there a word for people who do that?I think it's called hypocrisy

It matters not, new members especially Americans would have been offended by that remark.
Why this is still being discussed I don't know, the moderators will seen OP and chosen not to react.
Why is it still being challenged?

[achro]

Redneck is way less of an insult than the loaded "girlyboy" is.

Rednecks call themselves rednecks as a badge of honor.

..I agree with you...the OPs derogatory terms for Rylan are not one off remarks...neither do they appear to be said tongue in cheek...more to provoke a reaction as they have already been made aware by members that they find these terms offensive....
