Well, Duw, Duw!! This gives a new connotation to the phrase "gay as a Welsh daffodil" Will Rosie Probert now have to say "Come on up Girls, it's No. 33 Duck Lane" Will the Rev. Eli Jenkins' Father have to die of drink, agriculture and his boyfriend in the cornfield. Will Mrs. Organ-Morgan dance to another tune? Will Mog Edwards declare he wants to be a hot water bottle to Dai Two Tooth Price instead of Miss Price? Will Mrs. Ogmore Pritchard finally come out of the closet? We need not enquire too closely of Gossamer Beynon.
On BBC Wales News today:
Russell T Davies, the writer who revived Doctor Who, is backing what organisers claim is the world's biggest gay and lesbian short film festival. The Iris Prize Festival in Cardiff brings together film makers from around the world for a £25,000 prize. Davies, who also wrote Channel 4's Queer as Folk, will present the winner with the prize at a ceremony at the Cineworld cinema on Saturday night. The three-day festival will also host premieres for feature-length films.
According to gay equality campaigner Mike Smith, Wales is the perfect place to host the prize.
"The capital is run by a gay man, Liberal Democrat council leader Rodney Berman and there are plenty of other gay councillors across Wales plus business leaders, journalists, trade union leaders, flagship arts organisation chiefs, public sector big wigs, TV executives, on-screen celebrities, medical consultants, an honorary consul - and film makers.
"And that's only the 'out' ones!" Said Mr Smith.
"Wales might be the gayest country in the world!
"I can think of no other country in the world, large or small, that has so many gay men and women in all walks of life. This is something progressive Wales can be really proud of"
And you thought it was all rum, lavabread and sheep!!
