Product Information

Jacques showed me a sketch drawing of what looked to me like the group, with me drawn in, and a cowboy and construction worker and a biker. He said, “We’ve built a group around you darling, and I’m gonna make you famous.” I thought, “Oh God. Jesus Christ, what is this man doing? This is an awful idea.” 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. Daffyd repeatedly insists that he is the only gay person in the area. despite clear and overwhelming evidence to the contrary. 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. We didn’t start as a gay group, and not everyone in the group was gay — that’s an incorrect notion… The Village People was a mixture of ethnicity, races, lifestyles, sexualities, sexual orientations, it was a true village. It was a mixture of everything…

From the start I have been keen that Not A Phase is not just a charity for London people. Dani St James, Not A Phase founder At Myfanwy's civil partnership to another woman, Rhiannon, Dafydd expressed disgust about their plans to adopt, which highly annoyed them both. Daffyd Thomas has been the subject of much debate amongst the Little Britain fandom. Throughout the shows running, Daffyd always claimed that he was both homosexual and "the only gay in the village". Just like the residents of Llandewi Breffi, fans know for a fact that the latter statement is clearly not true. Instead, they question the validity of Daffyd's homosexual claims. Many fans have pointed to several of Daffyd's noticeable traits and actions, which, in their opinion, contradict his homosexual claims. These include; -We must engage with LGBTQ+ communities based outside of London and other cities meaningfully, not just as an afterthought. Whether through creating spaces in local communities, supporting people to access cities if they would like, or developing a dialogue between urban and rural communities – we can all do more to show up for LGBTQ+ people irrespective of where they live. When Dewi admitted to Dafydd that he was homosexual, Dafydd refused to accept it. He asked Dewi if he could be bisexual, which Dewi, Pedro and Myfanwy strongly denied. Ariel Y. Ariel Y.

Outside of support groups, the most common LGBTQ+ community hubs are bars, though these are becoming increasingly few and far between. One of Dafydd's hairdressers said that a new colleague of hers was gay, which Dafydd denied. Upon meeting the man, he claimed that it was still "To early to tell" and when the pair saw him kissing another man, Dafydd claimed it was merely the mans brother.What is striking is that every interviewee reaffirmed the ideas that moving to London was an expectation and a quasi-requirement for being included within the queer community – irrespective of whether living in London is or was an option for them.
