I write with regard to last night's "X Factor". As a young gay man, I feel there was absolutely no need for Danni to bring Danyl's sexuality into a critique of his vocal performance and her comment was both upsetting and unnecessary.

While I understand that her remark was probably non-maliscious in intent, a live program where she should have been critiquing his performance was not the place to make a joke about Danyl's sexuality which so obviously backfired so publicly.
