Product Information

The residents of Llandewi Breffi, for the most part are usually shown to be either bisexual or full out gays. As such, although Dafydd claims otherwise, the villagers will always treat him with tolerance and understanding. It is usually Thomas that takes on the aggressive or villainous role. Whilst Dafydds antics will sometimes annoy his fellow villagers, most of the time they will usually ignore them or turn a blind eye to his behaviour. Especially with my industries being very much based in London, there is no point in moving somewhere else in the UK – if I am going to work it will have to be here. It has changed a little bit with Covid, but not hugely.” In the same episode, Dafydd met an attractive lesbian and said she was far too good looking to be a lesbian stating that he thought lesbians were "just the ones who couldn't get boyfriends". This also annoyed Myfanwy and Rhiannon, the latter of whom promptly saying to Dafydd "Oh piss off you stupid little poof". He then remarked on her homophobia saying he would not tolerate it, only to turn round as he left and say "Dirty fat lezzers" Dafydd organised a gay night at Myfanwy's pub. He prepared to leave early claiming no one else would arrive, saying in a "defeated tone" that he would always be the only gay in the village. The second he opened the door, dozens of gays flooded in. Dani is very incisive on this matter: “If the demand is there, there is no reason why we can’t meet that demand and support people”.

Ibby had less positive experiences of these spaces: “The only support available were groups, which were a kind of crude therapy. It always felt as thought we [queer people] were the problem that needed solving. No one knew what to do with us.” If you liked this article, you might also enjoy our new popular podcast, The BrainFood Show ( iTunes, Spotify, Google Play Music, Feed), as well as: According to Morali’s business partner, Henri Belolo, the look of the Village People was inspired by an experience he and Morali had in a Greenwich gay bar, Les Mouches, which was having something of a costume ball. Specifically Belolo would recall in an interview with disco-disco.com that,Hodo would further ring in on of the song, “Y.M.C.A. certainly has a gay origin. That’s what Jacques was thinking when he wrote it, because our first album [1977’s Village People] was possibly the gayest album ever. I mean, look at us. We were a gay group. So was the song written to celebrate gay men at the YMCA? Yes. Absolutely. And gay people love it.” Alice, a disabled illustrator and full-time wheelchair user felt first-hand how London’s inaccessibility impacted their connection with the queer community as their health worsened.

Others, like Ibby, feel they have less of a choice to return to rural environments if they want to pursue a career. When Dafydd discovered that many of the people at ' The Scarecrow and Mrs King' were homosexual or bisexual following the aforementioned rugby match, he left the pub, stating his intentions to leave the village saying how disgusting he thought they were. Slovenia; coming out; gay infrastructure; homophobic violence; rural gays and lesbians; rural/urban divide; same-sex partnerships. From the start I have been keen that Not A Phase is not just a charity for London people”, says Dani. “We have things that happen here because I am based here, but I have always been adamant about the fact we will go wherever we are needed. I have no qualms in funding Not A Phase workshops anywhere. If someone came to me and said ‘we really loved your safe space workshop in Manchester, but we would really benefit from having them in Bolton.” I have had people who had ‘you are the only gay in the village’ said to them and to us it was meant to be a celebration,’ he told Richard Herring’s RHLSTP podcast.On a similarly humourous note, the music video for the band’s hit In the Navy was notably filmed on an actual frigate, the USS Reasoner (whose motto was officially “Fidelity”), thanks to the group’s manager securing a deal with the U.S Navy. The deal was that the Navy would get to use the song for free in Navy recruitment advertisements and in return the band would be given access to the military hardware for their shoot. Rather than expecting communities to travel to the big cities to engage with the community forever, Not A Phase is actively, from its inception, meeting people throughout the UK wherever they are based and supporting them in their existing community. Photography by Meg McGrady for their project on queers and rurality, Away With The Fairies As our lives continue to rapidly transform, shift to digital spaces, and new ways of living and working, we have the perfect opportunity to evaluate what happiness and prosperity look like for LGBTQ+ people, whether we want it to continue to be determined by where we live, and whether this is antithetical to the goal of queer liberation for all. Dafydd frequently likes to portray himself as a victim of society, acting as if he is living in an age where gay people are not tolerated. In reality, though, much of his "grief" is self-inflicted and in retrospect, Dafydd is not a very nice man. Whilst the rest of the village is shown to be very open and friendly towards him, Dafydd will often treat them with extreme hostility (especially from Season 2 onwards). Whenever anyone tries to interact with him Dafydd will act as if these innocent people made a homophobic remark about him. If anybody tries to get close to or help Dafydd, his behaviour often enrages and drives them away.
