Rylan's latest moan, he could be the victim of homophobic abuse on Twitter because of Gary. One or two reader's comments seem to suggest the same.

I find it amusing how for the Chris fans, it's really all about Rylan

I guess that the good acts are off the radar for you lot eh?

Gary Barlow could be accused of many things but homophobia isn't one of them

Well if this is true...

The 24-year-old, openly gay contestant said in an interview with the Sun that he was upset because, at a Mencap charity gig on Tuesday, Gary Barlow had asked the crowd to chant “get him out”, and said that he thought he was “absolute shit.”
Then Rylan probably has a point. Let's be clear that Rylan is NOT saying Gary is homophobic, what he is saying is that Gary is being quite hostile and personal to him outside the context of the reality show. And that this is by extension feeding in to the open hostility Rylan is getting, some of which is vile and homophobic.

I think that is a perfectly legitimate criticism of Gary. But I also think the way Louis behaved to Chris last night was equally wrong.

It illustrates a point that Christopher has had more (Caroline) flack thrown at him but hasn't suggested the judges are responsible for any Twitter hate he gets. Also suggesting Gary's words could lead to homophobic abuse for Rylan is a pretty serious accusation to make.

If Gary was making comments about Rylan's sexuality he'd have a point, but he doesn't, he comments on Rylan's lack of singing ability.

I'm no Gary fan, but he's certainly not a homophobe. He had a great relationship with Marcus last year.

If Gary was making comments about Rylan's sexuality he'd have a point, but he doesn't, he comments on Rylan's lack of singing ability.
He doesn't have to say homophobic comments to exacerbate the aura of negativity which empowers bullies. Let's be frank he could say his point and move on but he does more than that. The chanting at a mental health charity event (FFS) is a perfect example of this. It gives me no pleasure to say this, I'm a long standing Take That and Gary fan.

And the point IS NOT that Gary is homophobic but that he is being recklessly hostile in a way that empowers bullies, some of which are homophobic. These are crucial points and simply saying "Gary's not a homophone" doesn't address this.

Sadly a lot of shallow minded gay people think they are victims of homophobia when someone take a disliking to them, and not because of their sexuality.
It really undermines what true homophobia is and belittles the people who have suffered at the hands of it.

Certainly something Gary could not be accused of. At his concert in Nottingham on Thursday a bloke in the front row was wearing a "Dan loves Gary" t shirt and was quite clearly gay and having the time of his life dancing away all evening. At the end of the concert Gary mentioned him thanking him for dancing all night and hugged and kissed him. Not really the way a homophobe would act. As for the chanting of "get Rylan out" this did not happen. He merely asked if people watched X Factor and joked saying "what are we going to do about Rylan".

Ridiculous. People hate Rylan because he has zero talent not because he's gay, TXF has always had gay contestants who have done well throughout the live shows, Marcus was runner up last year, Joe McElderry won and their sexualities were no secret. Union J's Jaymi said he has received nothing but support since coming out recently. Rylan is just using the gay card as an excuse because people are sick of the fact such a non-talent has reached the semi-finals.

To be fair to Rylan, if people are tweeting homophobic words in regards to him, then of course it's homophobic abuse. But, no, Gary is not guilty of it himself.

Nothing from the comments that were printed, were actually homophobic. If there is any homophobic comments about it now, it'll be because he's the one that's brought it up.

And also, Gary was in a boyband himself, with a gay guy. And, didn't seem to have any issues back then. Just tabloids trying to make something out of nothing, same as usual.
