Saara is now the longest surviving openly LGBT+ contestant ever
I know everyone's in love with Saara already but I think she deserves a round of applause for being one of the few non-British national acts that the public has embraced and taken seriously but also the longest surviving openly LGBT+ contestant that the show has ever had.

I feel like the show has really acknowledged it with Saara either though, not that I can remember.

I might be wrong, but I don't think he mentioned it until after the show.

No, his boyfriend was on the show at one point in the later weeks, so he is actually the longest surviving openly LGBT+ contestant. But I get what you mean. Saara has been a lot more open about it than Marcus was on the show. Not that he hid it a-such, but Saara actually talks about her partner, whereas it was a bit almost like he didn't exist when it came to Marcus.

What position did Rylan finish, fifth?
It's been won by two gay men, but neither one was out at the time, although Will Young came out a day after the final. |

What a ridiculous thread. There's absolutely no connection between show longevity and sexual preference. There's no evidence to suggest the show has a history of being homophobic. The LGBT community have been represented over the years via contestants, hosts and judges.

it really is not a ridiculous thread and no one's calling the show homophobic but there's no denying that as the years have gone by people at home have become more accepting.

Some people are so sensitive on this forum. Why does any talk of homosexuality get the cliched "does it matter?" responses? Talking about LGBT isn't taboo anymore!

In all honestly i'm surprised that someone from elsewhere in Europe has made the top 4 in post-Brexit Britain.

This is literally the first I've heard of it so not sure about your use of "openly"...
