Emmerdale spoilers 1st - 5th February 2016

Your comment sounds typically heterosexist, at least there are straight couples on Emmerdale you have several to choose from. By contrast, gay people are treated differently. Finn Barton has not had a boyfriend in over a year and Aaron and Robert are still not a proper gay couple. Aaron and Robert have been apart for six months by the writers no gay sex and no kissing either. Would a heterosexual couple not kiss nor have sex for six months I doubt it.

its a small rural village with a population of 35 people maximum? just by law of averages, and rural settings, what are the chances of it having a gay couple?

and don't forget there was in its history, Zoe and Frankie, Zoe and charity, Zoe and...well many, Johny and Paul, Vanessa and Rhona for a bit of titillation....Finn and the HIV +ve nurse....

so for a small knit community Emmerdale hasn't done badly in showing gay relationships
