Yup, that’s Emmerdale (nee Farm)

Aaron is gay. Why are gay guys always portrayed as uber-camp or, in this case, hardman-nutjobs who refuse to believe they go for a bit of c*ck?

Aaron decided to go down the suicide rout by spending an entire episode sat in a garage with the engine running. I laughed. Not because of the portrayal of a man killing himself, but because of a conversation with this man.

He is part of a group called the Zion Tabernacle based in Chester, UK, a ‘Christian’ group (and I use that term very loosely) stuck firmly in the dark ages - imagine a ‘Christian’ Taliban, but based in a quaint english city. I met him at Pride in Manchester, and when asked why he hates gay people so much, his first answer was, “…they’re everywhere! Even in Emmerdale! I don’t want to see gays on the telly while I’m having my tea!”

So back to me laughing as poor Aaron gassed himself (or nearly? cliffhangers, you gotta love em) I could imagine the whole of the Zion Tabernacle on the edge of their seats shouting,”Die you bastard!”

Here’s another couple of photies of that hateful mob…

I might also add, they hate penis-puppets, too.
