Daniel says: "A couple of people have called me 'Father' when I've been out, which is a bit odd, and I've had two people ask me to marry them. I should get a licence - I could rake it in! Generally people are lovely but one woman came up to me in a supermarket and told me I was going to hell for playing a gay vicar. She was wearing a floor-length brown corduroy skirt and I could see the venom in her eyes. I just said: "Darling, all my sins combined are nothing compared to those of your skirt!"

I originally thought people had proposed to him, which I could completely understand. He is a very attractive man and that vicar's collar just bumps it up to the next level (forbidden fruit, no pun intended). I am a straight woman and if I saw him in his full kit, I might be tempted to propose myself! :)
ReplyDeleteHow bigoted are some religions? used to have a lot of time for the salvation army till I found out how homophobic they are and who is this woman to judge maybe she's going to hell for being so judgmental isn't it god who can only judge? great comeback though would of loved to of seen her face and no I'm completely straight just can't abide bigotry
