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. Homosexual.
A great memorable quote om the Ltle Bra movie on - Daffyd: Anyway, seeg as I am the only gay the village, I shouldn't thk anyone would be remotely terted. Good Teal: Oh no, lots of folk around here drop anchor poo bay. * only gay in the village quotes *
Daffyd hails om the fictnal mg village of Llanwi Breffi, Wal, (not to be nfed wh the real life village of Llandwi Breffi, Wal) where he repeatedly and falsely claims to be the villag sole gay rint. Dafydd, of urse, lik to put emphasis on his homosexualy and will brg up at any opportuny. Dpe this, Dafydd do not like to socialise wh gay people, don't tch on when people are gay or get volved homosexual activi.
Dafydd equently lik to portray himself as a victim of society, actg as if he is livg an age where gay people are not tolerated. Whenever anyone tri to teract wh him Dafydd will act as if the nocent people ma a homophobic remark about him. Homosexualy seems to n the Thomas fay, wh many of his fay members nfirmed as beg gay.
Although Daffyd's fay are perfectly fe and acceptg of their sons homosexualy, even they are not immune om Daffyd's lns or his biased and hypocril opns. He was therefore taken aback when his parents not only said they weren't fsed by , but admted that they had spected he was homosexual for some time. 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.
