Moe, I do not think anyone on here is homophobic in the least. There is(are) another issue(s) at play here. Philip coming out publicly yesterday appears to be stage managed. Apparently, it has been well known in television and showbusiness circles for a long time that he is gay, so nobody is shocked. Yesterday's admission came across as a damage limitation exercise orchestrated by ITV and James Grant management who appear to supply most of the presenters on ITV. Philip appeared on a Friday when it is Eamonn and Ruth's slot when he could have spoken out on the Monday to Thursday shows. Why? Either someone was going to out him in the Sunday tabloids and they wanted to get there first. Or, it's a great way of uniting Phil with Eamonn and Ruth on screen to shut down the feud rumours which were very prevalent during the National TV awards the week before. This is a great distraction. I believe the contributors on this site are cynical about the way this episode has been handled rather than being homophobic.
