The aforementioned original lead singer of the Village People, Victor Willis, was once married to none other than famed actress Phylicia Rashād, best known for playing Clair Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Daffyd repeatedly insists that he is the only gay person in the area. despite clear and overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Thus, he ultimately approached the man dressed as a stereotypical depiction of a Native American, Felipe Rose. Rose explained that he chose that outfit as his father was Lakota Sioux. As they got to know each other, Morali laid out to Rose his plan for a new disco group. Rose stated of this, Not every LGBTQ+ person wants to live in a city, either. And as the pandemic continues, increasing numbers of people are re-evaluating their living environments and adjusting to an increasingly remote world. Despite this, given their band was specifically formed by Morali to represent gay subculture, it’s no surprise that not only was their iconic look crafted to reference said culture, but many of their songs are dripping with double-entendres and references that mainstream audiences at the time generally missed, which was a very good thing for the popularity of the band given attitudes of the era in which the band was topping the charts.

I have a lot of reasons for not leaving Norwich,” says Alice. “I grew up here, my whole support system, carers, friends and medical team are here and feel familiar. I have a hard time changing where I live and have a lot of anxiety about being stranded with no help. Still, I am really limited here which can be so frustrating. London is worse in a lot of ways though. I don’t know anyone with an accessible house and public transport is either nonexistent for disabled people or really expensive.” When a gay man moved into the village in Episode 1, Dafydd claimed that he was the gay and that the new guy was "probably just a bit poofy".Whilst Dafydd can be shown to be friendly and civil at times, he loses his temper and gets angry quite frequently. He is also known to be very dramatic especially about his sexuality. Dafydd, of course, likes to put emphasis on his homosexuality and will bring it up at any opportunity. Despite this, Dafydd does not like to socialise with gay people, doesn't catch on when people are gay or get involved in homosexual activities. The Only Major League Baseball Player to Openly Admit He was Gay During His Career Also May Have “Invented” the High-Five As to how the now iconic moves that go with the chorus of the song came about, the band members themselves have mildly differing stories as to the origin, though in all cases it would seem it was an audience inspired set of moves, rather than originally planned. For example, Randy Jones states, 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"

Eddie, who chose to relocate from London to the countryside with his husband, has found little difference in the quality of life between the city or countryside. “We chose to leave London because it was so expensive and was giving me a lot of anxiety, but it feels like the countryside is only nice if you’re white and straight. My husband and I lived in Wiltshire for a while and people would legitimately stare at us whilst we were out and about.” The good, clean fun at the surface level of the lyrics means that ‘Y.M.C.A.’ has this incredible capacity to circulate in different contexts. If people really thought they were singing about gay hook-ups in the steam room, they would not necessarily participate.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. Notably, Ibby would not be able to afford to live in the village they grew up in. Even with recent additions of new ‘affordable’ housing developments to the village. In truth, when we inspect the barriers LGBTQ+ people face in both rural and urban environments, it becomes glaringly obvious that it is not the location that is the determinate factor in a queer person’s experience, it is the role people have historically played, and continue to play, in either aiding or hindering inclusion. And whilst rural LGBTQ+ people need support, they also need urban queer folk to interrogate the idealisation of cities as the only means of creating queer community. Just as we fight heteronormativity’s pervasive impact, we must also interrogate metronormativity, which comes firstly through recognition of the issue. 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. The Frenchman Morali, who was already a bit enamoured by American culture and stereotypes, had a lightbulb go off in his head. He stated in an interview with Rolling Stones, “I say to myself, ‘You know, this is fantastic’—to see the cowboy, the Indian, the construction worker with other men around. And also, I think in myself that the gay people have no group, nobody to personalize the gay people, you know?…”
