7:28Now PlayingBiddulph Moor, a quaint village in Staffordshire Moorlands, the source of the River Trent. It’s nearest railway station, 4 miles away, nearest city, Stoke on Trent a further 10 miles the opposite direction.
Approximately 1,640 residents
3 churches
2 shops
2 pubs
1 school
And me, the only gay in the village. In the unlikely event that you come across another gay, a week later you’re forcing your adopted son Sparkle to watch Queer Eye and making your wife’s lunch for work tomorrow because she. is. the. one.
This is a bus stop. This is a sixth form. When I was 17, by accident I’d fallen head over heels for only other gay I knew of. She had a full time job, I went to college, she babysat at the weekend, I spent mine slinging pies; making time to secretly kiss was difficult. After seeing her for 3 hours that month, I was ready.
My dad, hero, always saved me a 45 minute walk down the Moor dropping me off at this bus stop so I could hop on the number 9 and not do my coursework at college.
“Dad, I need to tell you something” I said
He looked in the mirror, I knew what he was thinking
-“if she’s pregnant at least that means she’s not gay”
“I’ve got a girlfriend dad”
Silence proceeded the car journey, and for the next month or so, until we all said a few things we probably didn’t mean and found closure a few years later. They stan me now.
