A lot of people seem to be gay nowadays. Previewing the Christmas TV, I discovered that a lead character in Last Tango in Halifax is a lesbian. After that, I watched Two Doors Down, a Scottish comedy, which features a gay couple.
Meanwhile, an interested party informs me that there are no fewer than three gay storylines running in Emmerdale at the moment, a turn-up for the books given that it used to be said that there was only one gay in the village. Coronation Street has a gay vicar dating the bad boy who runs the card shop. An Anglican vicar friend says the scenario is unrealistic: in this version of reality, the bishop disapproves.
