Do you think you can get used to it? I work in marketing for a large holiday resort, and also I'm a marketer, journalist and news anchor for LGBT channel Pinksixty news. This is a deep one, where do I start?
LGBTQ+ guide to Cardiff
I was there up until the age of 18 and then I became part of the first ever redcoats at Butlins, and I moved away. For my past in the Rhondda Valleys, I grew up on a council estate, like most people probably would have back then. It was a very close community like most working class families are on a council estate, so everybody was very inclusive, everybody knew everybody. I love speaking to people, and understanding how they work and their history. But growing up in the Valleys, unfortunately there was a lot of people I was aware of who had a lot of problems for being gay.
Generally the rule of thumb back in the day was that if you were gay, you moved away. A number of people had gotten bullied for being gay. A friend of mine unfortunately had committed suicide as well. He was bullied very, very badly for coming out as gay when he was From my personal experiences, it was more just watching other people being bullied which was horrible because when you look at myself with my hand and everything, generally I would be a natural target. But because I was generally a bit more of an extrovert people found it hard to get to me. I mean it would get to me, some people would say a few comments when I was younger.
I had a teacher who really affected me a lot. She was very against me and my hand. Keith Bevan, 50, an interior designer, thought Mr Bryant was 'quite a nice guy', although he was surprised the MP was cruising on a gay website. Others were offended that he had once been a Conservative. But it was those dreadful Y-fronts that really caused offence, so for expert advice I went to the Ystrad Launderette on the Tonypandy Road. The proprietress, an year-old sweetie who preferred to keep her name out of the public prints, had seen a few underpants in her four decades in business.
But even she, casting a seasoned eye over the photograph of our hero, found it hard to restrain her dismay. It didn't matter that Mr Bryant was gay. Almost everyone agreed on that.

A man was entitled to choose. But someone in the public eye had a duty not to besmirch the name of the Valleys, Rhondda and most of all Wales.

Could Labour ever lose Rhondda? With a majority of 16, it does seem unlikely but Plaid Cymru has made impressive gains recently in local elections and the Nationalists are suddenly talking up their chances. The Bryant underpantsare big, big news as far as they are concerned.
A few wet miles up the valley was the village of Gelli, where housewife Barbara Griffiths had been busy collecting signatures for an anti-Bryant petition. But not too fresh if you're an MP please. The Beauty Room, one of several beauty parlours in the Rhondda, offered competitive rates for waxing and permanent hair removal.

Vote for Bryant? No fear. I'd have him sacked. Argos AO. How gay ismy valley? Quentin Letts Last updated at 04 December BIG Hooky Price only had one wobbly tooth in his head and when he saw the photograph of his local MP yesterday he almost swallowed that last precious pearl. Outside a pet shop, Valleys accents lilted and fell. More than half the people I chatted to yesterday said they intended to vote Plaid.
Significantly, lots of others said the Bryant episode left them inclined not to vote at all. How long until we are looking at some permanent MP removal? On that Newsnight. In the corner of the room blared the racing from Southwell.
