He ref to accept he's not the only 'gayer' the village, and is outraged when fellow gays trpass on his patch. VIDEO: Daffyd's 'Gay Night' (Warng: some words) ».

I'm sorry Myfanwy, but the Llanwi Breffi Amatr Dramatics Society is pletely homophobist. Homosexual.

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.

GAY VILLAGE

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.

GAY UPL AT HOME THE VILLAG

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.

Daffyd however, claimed that whilst he would really like to do all of the thgs, he would not be able to do so, due to his homosexualy. Actg as if they lived an age when homosexuals were not tolerated, Daffyd sisted that the moment his boss/landlords found out he was gay, they would fire/evict him.

Hearg this, Dafydd leapt to his feet and brand her a homophobe.
