Wienke C, Hill GJ. Wienke C, et al. J Homosex. 2013;60(9):1256-79. doi: 10.1080/00918369.2013.806166. J Homosex. 2013. PMID: 23952922 They are literally building houses with the nuclear family in mind; there are no living options for any queer, non-nuclear or alternative family set-up. They assume that wouldn’t exist”, they share. “And even if I could move from the city and afford it, I would not want to live in a bungalow in the middle of nowhere because people knowing where I live isn’t safe. If it hasn’t been safe for me in London, it definitely won’t be safe there.” 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"

Matt said he knows the character has been used as a tool to bully young gay people, but insists that was not the show’s intention.

Despite this, it is clear that some of the Thomas' (such as Dafydd’s parents) are capable of maintaining bisexual relationships, though their marriage appears to be quite open. 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”. He refused to accept that a new arrival to the village was a gay. He presented him with two questions, thinking that only a real gay man would know the answers to them. The man (and the rest of the pub patrons) answered the questions flawlessly. In an ironic twist, Dafydd had got one of the answers wrong.

Become Daffyd with the Adult Only Gay in the Village Costume! This costume includes top, shorts, boot covers, wig & choker. In every single one of his appearances, Dafydd Thomas will persistently claim that he is "The Only Gay in the Village". This was altered to "The Only Gay on Campus" in Little Britain USA, and "The Only Gay on the Greek island of Mykonos" in Little Britain Abroad. Rodriguez EM. Rodriguez EM. J Homosex. 2010;57(1):5-38. doi: 10.1080/00918360903445806. J Homosex. 2010. PMID: 20069492 Review. At Myfanwy's civil partnership to another woman, Rhiannon, Dafydd expressed disgust about their plans to adopt, which highly annoyed them both.Dafydd has short blonde hair, and often wears tight fitting clothes, usually made of lycra or PVC vinyl. He also wears a few pieces of jewelery. 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.” 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 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?…” 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. 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. 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,When Dafydd's brother (Dewi) told Daffy that he was planning on coming out to his mother and father, Dafydd expressed confusion as to what he meant. Dewi then shed light on the fact that he too was homosexual, and in a relationship with Pedro. See Denial for further details on what happened. 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.

Both of these are not only gross simplifications of the diverse queer experiences that exist, but also serve to reinforce classist and ableist notions of success. Matt also went on to encourage anyone who is offended by his work to reach out to him: ‘I would say if anyone is listening and is offended, I would happily discuss anything, individual cases.’ Cities frequently are portrayed as epicenters of tolerance, community, and freedom. And yet, this focus on urban queer communities results in an alienation of LGBTQ+ folks in rural areas. He called an altar boy that said hello to him a "queer basher" following a failed 'Hamlet' audition. In fact in most of the episodes that followed this one Dafydd would act as if people he passed/met in the street had made harsh comments about him, whilst said people were actually shown to be open and friendly towards him. 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.”
