Been going to the gay gym to prepare for summer?
Guy Ritchie recently chatted up Graham Norton to shill his new film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.
During the interview, he managed to scandalize some viewers by mentioning the “gay gym” he attends with David Beckham.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Asked how he managed to reel Beckham in to appear in the film, Ritchie responded: “Our kids go to the same school, we go to the same pub, and we go to, sort of, the same gay gym.”
Norton was somewhat nonplussed by the response, quipping, “Isn’t that just ‘the gym? I think the ‘gay’ is silent.”
As you might expect, Twitter denizens had a thing or two to say about the director’s off-color remark.
Sarah took issue.
'Gay gym' and 'camp' said by #Guyritchie on #Grahamnorton in the space of 5 minutes. Not coming across the best mate!

Kenny wasn’t having it.
#GrahamNorton #GuyRitchie using the word gay as a derogatory term. He's such a 90's geez

It’s not “Twitter” that’s mad, it’s super-fragile, safe-space-seeking, social-justice snowflakes with daddy issues, THAT’S who’s miffed . . . and let’s be real, anything and everything sets them off these days.
ps – As a filmmaker, Guy Ritchie sucks donkey dicks and always has.

Oh, looky! It’s Fake Biracial Bisexual…I mean Mo…chiming in. How you doing, you old darling?

@BigWill:
As always, your comments make me feel the need to immediately shower.

The word “snowflake” is getting rather overused, don’t you think?
Louis
Blah blah blah it is so tiring seeing these stupid low iq words from guys like you dude.
It only continues to make your kind look like regressive primitive neanderthals.
No one cares about your idiotic and asinine words your juvenile mentality has always spoke for itself and that will never change regarding people like yourself bud.
Anyone who FEELS is someone I deeply admire and respect because they are the ones moving mountains and creating change by speaking out .
Not the repressed men like you who repress human emotion and live as cold emotionless robots that deem themselves as if they are superior intellectually and physically.
Grow up already and stop parroting the alt rights uncreative and unoriginal repetitive nonsense.
So ….damn…tiring.
Newsflash for you also Ritchie has been known for his homophobia for years he has NEVER been gay friendly so yes he did mean his statements in a derogatory and incendiary manner.

I wouldn’t call four people with less than 15 likes apiece Twitter being mad. Like I said and keep saying, you can find a couple of tweets talking about being offended and make it into a thing. It’s not a thing. No one cares. Who will be thinking about this a few hours from now?
DarkZephyr
I’m pretty sure the whole article was tongue in cheek.
niles
oh come on, people, what gym isn’t gay in some way?
truckproductions
Why is that offensive? seems like he was being playful. if he meant it in a nasty way he wouldn’t be going to the “gay” gym in the first place. certainly can afford any gym he wants..

King Arthur – another Guy Ritchie FLOP.. cost $175 and had dismal Box Office this past weekend. He’s boring & no longer relevant…

Twitter is pissed….NO! That is so unlike Twitter!
DavidSkylark
Please, just relax. Practically every gym is a gay gym. Is everyone so politically correct we lost our ability to have fun, laugh? I loved the comment.
Donston
Besides a few people on twitter I don’t see anyone caring about this. Just an excuse for Queerty to get some clicks.
But there are fat gay men people.

You’d have to be a mentally slow social justice warrior to find this offensive. The gay media is full of ads for gay gyms, gay restaurants etc.
Louis
Yes how classy to mock the mentally gifted typical example of CLASS and TACT from your dreadfully embarrassing political party as always.
