LTLE BRA’S MATT LUS SAYS ‘ONLY GAY THE VILLAGE’ WAS MEANT TO BE A ‘CELEBRATN’ OF GAY PEOPLE

Matt said he knows the character has been ed as a tool to bully young gay people, but sists that was not the show’s tentn. ‘I have had people who had ‘you are the only gay the village’ said to them and to was meant to be a celebratn, ’ he told Richard Herrg’s RHLSTP podst. ‘But people were labelled ‘the only gay the village’ at school.

It was meant as entertament, not to make young gay people sad. Sce the show end 2005, the sketch has gaed a lot of cricism for s ls than plimentary portrayal of gay men.

The character is emed offensive by many (Picture: BBC)‘I remember thkg there was a greeds to Ltle Bra and we jt wanted to show off as many characters as possible so we played black, whe, straight, gay, male, female, tall, short, whatever, ’ the 45-year-old told the podst. So while some wrers maybe genuely attemptg to reflect their unrstandgs of real experienc, others perhaps see the “outst gay” trope as an easy way to quickly provi a character wh a troubled past and loner stat.
