He left the room shocked horror however, when his mother and father dited that the rt of the fay wouldn't be bothered eher, given that most (if not all of them) were gay as well. Later on, when his brother Dewi admted that he was gay as well, Daffyd, far om beg unrstandg or acceptg was shocked and disgted. He orred Dew not to be gay and even tried to nvce him to be bisexual and when Dewi (wh the backg of Myfanwy and Pedro) refed, Daffyd rejected him.
