Emmderdale star Adam Thomas was having a lovely meal of burgers and fries at the fine dining establishment the British call “McDonald’s” when a gay fan, who we’ll call Ricky Platts (because that’s his name) approached him to say how much he loved the show or something. That’s when Thomas — whose character Adam Barton recoiled in disgust when his friend Aaron tried to kiss him — responded, “Yeah, what about it gay boy?,” before beginning to jump up and down and calling Platts and his friend a pair of “queers.”
To be fair, the twosome were dressed in drag, and Thomas is clearly an observant fellow.
Thomas has already mounted his defense, releasing a statement: “I deeply apologise for my actions. I am horrified to realise that I have caused offence. As anyone who knows me will say, this is not what I’m about. I fully intend to apologise directly to the person concerned.”
I think a certain somebody owes a certain somebody a coupon for a free milkshake.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

I am horrified to realise that I have caused offence.
REALLY? What a pussy response, skirting (excuse the pun) the issue of his own responsiblity for his actions.

For the record, he wasn’t in drag, his friend was…

What the fuck, I would have punched that asshole’s teeth down his throat if I peacefully and gentle and nicely tried to talk to him and he acted that way.
Fagburn
@AdonisFire: How very heterosexual of you…
Soupy
I would have told him that I have a very long straw, and that I will drink his milkshake.

@Fagburn:
No, not heterosexual. How strong and PROUD of me, more gays need to get strong and proud, because most people have the impression we are a bunch of weak little worms that shrivel up and curl into a ball when threatened. Not me, not I. And I hope every LGTB person learns to love themselves and be strong and proud and never take abuse and insult as if they deserved to be treated that way.

“I am horrified to realise that I have caused offence.”
And it took you HOW long to realize this?

Of course the gay fan isn’t looking for fame at all….not at all…
alan brickman
Sounds like a typical self-promoting stalker to me….

@alan brickman:
Yeah, he went and set up the situation and telepathically ordered this asshole to insult him.
Hilarious
What Alan Dickman meant to say is that we’re all jealous. Isn’t that his usual troll post?

Don’t mean to nitpick but the soap is called “Emmerdale.” Only one “D.” And I don’t find him or his brother well-spoken or attractive. Something about the face. I don’t know.

If he gives them a couple blowjobs as an apology, they should call it even. Fair is fair, and it would show sincerity.
alan brickman
sound very jealous……and just as out of shape as usual….
