As a gay myself, I’m am so thrilled emmerdale are doing this story! They are absolutely nailing it! That lad is an amazing actor! Luckily my family were exactly the same as laurel and Nicola. Makes my heart warm!!
In high school I was bullied a lot for being bisexual, so I understand the fear of coming out (mine was not a coming out but an outing, when I wasn't ready to come out yet), for 4 years and half I walked in hell. I got to not answering my home and mobile phones, even though I knew the numbers, I got to skipping school for weeks... I cried a lot, and now, still today, I bear the signs of that experience (not physical), the depression that I had continues at times, sometimes it becomes pressing again... If in the past I no longer wanted to live, now I continue to live because I can't give way to brainless idiots. Having gone to a school where the most written word on the walls was "dux mea lux" (reference to Mussolini), or a swastika certainly didn't help... Luckily I graduated, but at 30 years old, I still have zero self-esteem.
Laurel was brilliant here!! Anyone that ever had to do what Arthur did knows and prolly remembers everything about that conversation with their parents.
Laurel is exactly how parents should be. Especially Christian and religious parents. This scene was beautiful. It reminded me of the scene of Nick coming out in Heartstopper. Just pure and wholesome and lovely.
An actual Christian would follow what God says and He disproves of gay s ex, to the point He says they should be killed. Jesus, his son, didn't mention stuff like that because it wasn't a big issue for the early Christian movement. Of course there were gays back then but they definitely kept it to themselves in fear of death. Jesus would have 100% agreed with his Father on this topic as he is 'the image of God', as the Bible says. Yes, it's an unpopular view now but scripture is clear that gay stuff is wrong along with tons of other things that no one brings up because it's easier to pick on gay people rather than focusing on our own flaws. It's not my view - l don't think anyone should die for being gay but pretending that it's not a big deal or "open to interpretation" as Laurel does in this scene is not how God feels otherwise He would have had that opinion recorded rather than death to gays.
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 What do you mean "well said"? What about what God said regarding gay* relations? Does that not count for anything? We live in such weak times where people hate to get their feelings hurt and screw biblical truths. Scary times ahead when Jesus returns... *It must be noted God disapprives of many straight sexual practices too but gays get singled out. All illicit sex acts should be looked into though. Gays should not be picked on when straight people are also doing things God doesn't like.
What a lovely scene. Alfie is still only 15 but he has portrayed Arthur's coming out in such a sweet and sensitive way. Watching the actor and character grow up on Emmerdale for the past 13 years makes it all the more heartwarming.
I love the fact that even if he isn't gay in real life, he would have been asked if he was willing to do this and he wanted to. I think that's really sweet and mature. Plus, actors who take on these things always really want to get things right.
@@itzbp9949. What a load of shite! I knew I was different when I was 5 and knew I was gay when I was 7! Don’t offer a view on something you’ve not got a clue about! Also, people’s sexuality is not a woke issue. It’s a reality!
@@mral8145oooo did I hit a nerve there buddy 😄 🤣 go take a chill Bill bro and relax and yeah you said you knew you was different but at that age you wouldn't know that you're gay of course they did this for a woke reason it's shoved into every film and TV show just to check off a list of agendas I have nothing against your sexuality mate what I have an issue with is it being shoved into my face and everything for a political agenda you don't belive it that's fine but that's my opinion so I suggest you shut up if you're gonna attack me and can't have a friendly discussion
@@itzbp9949 you clearly think about sexuality more than I do. If you have a problem with all walks of life being represented, it says more about you than it does me. Also, don’t tell me what I knew and didn’t. Thankfully, I grew up with loving and accepting parents who had gay family and friends around us, I knew I was gay at 7. I doubt you waited until you were 15 until you knew you were straight.
This scene is beautiful , well done to the actors who portray Arthur and Laurel Also to Emmerdale for addressing the subject with grace and sensitivity
Great message sent out to people who are gay. Takes a lot of bottle admitting it and when you front it out, easier it becomes instead of keeping it inside eating you up inside. If you scared of admitting stuff like this, make them listen.
well done emmerdale i had tears in my eyes what a great story line it makes me think if what my parents would of said if i told them that i was gay but left it too late it is hard to tell your parents but love the way emmerdale did it both actors are brilliant
Oh my goodness this was one of the most beautiful scenes 😍 every gay person remembers this monumental moment in their lives, a moment that you are just so fearful of. Emmerdale, thank you for handling it so so perfectly for so many young people out there who might be watching. I cried laughing when Laurel said "Nicola would give her left arm for one of hers to be gay" xx
I bawled my eyes out over this storyline because I was archer but the outcome was very different as I was kicked out of home at 16. This brought back so many memories I hid for so long. I love this
Laurel was the perfect example of what a parent is like when supporting Arthur and I applaud Arthur for coming out it's a big thing to do and say I mean I'm bi and it doesn't matter what anyone thinks of you love is love and I wonder how jai is going to react
Brilliant scene althrough did anyone else laugh when Laurel said "if you're going to tell anyone, Nicola's a brilliant person to tell" on the grounds that she and Brenda are both the village gossips.
It's an unfortunate reality that exists. It shouldn't, but it has been known to happen for some people to disown their kids for being gay, all too often for my personal liking.
Agree, it’s a nice change. Although Aaron was dealing with pretty bad self hatred considering what Gordon did to him - his family was still pretty accepting, especially considering it was a while ago.
Beautifully done. Thinking back, I´m not so sure Ashley would have been quite so supportive. He was sometimes rather fundamentalist as I recall. I had to laugh at Arthur starting off my talking about Paige on Love Island! That´s one way of approaching it.
Emmerdale is one of my favorite soaps when it comes to dealing with these kinds of storylines i mean i love Emmerdale all around anyway but since i can relate these are special
I’m going to share this on my Facebook, and hopefully my older brother watches it. I came out to my family when I was about 10/11 years old. I’m 24 now, and even when I was suppose to get married to another woman(which the relationship ended for personal reasons), he practically said no in a heartbeat… And because of that, I refused to go to his wedding, as I wanted him to hurt as much as I did
I don't watch soaps but this was beautifully acted by both actors. I am lesbian( I grew up in section 28 ) , if ye watched its a sin ( ch4 drama by RTD) it shows you section 28 etc. I knew at 11 but came out at 13 to some. Funny thing was I lived in a very small village in Kent . There was one other gay male older than me who came out before me ovbs. Than he moved out ( no cause of hate of him being gay ) his career etc. Than at the time I was the only gay in the village. I'm 36 now. But more so asexual ( came out 4 years ago when I discovered this) most won't understand & its fine. But im still a lesbian. I know most who can't or do come out or get forced out.. its not for everyone & we have different opinions etc & I do understand that & i can't fathom or understand or feel how you do. Be it parents or your son / daughter & the latter. We all have our own views on it. And that is fine. I am not here to have a verbal war or hate or toxic. We can agree to disagree. And leave it at that. Thought I share & well done emmerdale for this storyline & awareness. Peace & love me 💚
I'd like to ask you something. I am not interested in a verbal war or hate either. I don't judge because it is not my right to do that. I am a Christian and hetersexual. This scene appalled me, because the character Laurel lied about the Bible and Jesus. I felt disgusted because there was no need to involve Jesus in the scene, and it is obviously very offensive to Christians. Why is so acceptable to insult Christians and Jesus, when we live in world where you are called names like homophobic, if you disagree with the LGBT group? I would like to add that I have never said or felt any hate for the LGBT group, because as I said, it is not my business and I am not here to judge. I question how the LGBT group would feel if I told lies and insulted their beliefs?
@Love animals i get you have a religion & thats fine. But everyone has the different opinions be it on the bible or the LGBTQ + side. You believe what you believe, others don't. And i mean this with no hate at all. I respect any religion etc. We all come from different ways of life / lifestyles & living. And how the other half live as they say. I can't really answer your question. But insulting anyone is bad enough added with the toxicity fuel of social media outlets. I can't speak for the others who insult ye religion or Jesus's or the bible. As we don't all run in the same crowd. Much as i respect my LGBTQ + community. I tend to be a lone wolf & have my own mind & thoughts & feelings. Anyway hope that helps. Take care
@@Different_Not_Broken Thank you for your reply. It's appreciated. The problem I have is "having a different opinion on the Bible." The character Laurel lied and contradicted what is written in the Bible. It wasn't an opinion, and like you, I say that with no malice. Jesus does say something about it, and the remark about validating was shocking and so insulting. However, sadly its the world we live in. Jesus tells us not to judge. Judgement is His alone, and He will judge all of us. I wish you well. Take care.
Would be interesting if Aaron was still around - could be a good sound board for Arthur, or maybe be somebody he could talk to since he’s been through it.
It is true that you can’t change it it is who you are but a lot of people don’t get that I dident get that I would change my self and make me like boys it never worked and I waited and waited until the universe decided that they would exept people being who they are some people don’t exept it Brit that is there opinion what really matters is how u feel sone cear about anyone else opinion it is true some people believe that god don’t except you for being gay or bi or pan but it is a lie because your still a child of god and god made you who you are today P.s sorry for my spelling mistakes I’m dyslexic
It would be interesting to see if Ashley was still here. He would 100% be okay with it.maybe took him a bit of time but he would be. And of course laurel once thought Arthur was dead so she would never care
Remember the absolute hell that poor Syed had to go through coming out to his Muslim family. It was horrific to watch and this was such a healthy response in comparison.
For me, watching people come out as LGBTQ was never......shocking or made me mad. I had honestly had no real reference of what was right and wrong when it came to couples. So when I went to junior high and high school and the kids around me came out as gay. I never regarded them as different, evil, targets for bullying, I just shrugged. Like ok that's who you are, can we play Yu-Gi-Oh now? I felt terrible that people build up how others will react to the news when I can attest that from the year 2002.... I accepted LGBTQ people because they were always normal to me, nothing changed, nothing was different. I loved my friends the same as always. If anything I wait until someone's comfortable to say they're gay because odds are, they're spiraling about it more than you ever will
The "fear of queer" is painful and punishing. This clip is so powerful, because it is wholesome and loving. Emphasis on "loving". As to Scripture, I am an ordained, gay graduate Seminarian. The "sin" is forcing people, including children, to be what we are not. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says that "all men are not called to marry". He does not then go on to say they should not have sex. As former President Jimmy Carter has said on more than one occasion, "Homosexuality was around long before organized religion." As to homosexuality being a "sin": Living in denial of one's homosexuality is the real sin. "To thine ownself be true."
I don't think Ashley who be OK with was he OK with jazzmine and Debbie? They always play Ashley as a Saint have people forgotten about the story line of him beating his dad sandy up
This was so poignant. The UK Soaps are so wonderful dealing with Children's Issues whether it's their sexuality etc. In 2002 on December 24th Bianca Montgomery "Came Out" to her Mother on All My Children and her Mother Erica was mortified. Yet she came around, and even gave her blessing when Bianca got "Married".
"If you read it trying to find something to validate your prejudices you'll probably find what you're looking for" "Do you not think Jesus would have mentioned it" It seems it is okay to lie about God and the Bible to satisfy the LGBT etc. group now. I am a Christian and this is insulting! It IS in the Bible. "She'd give her right arm for one of hers to be gay" What a ridiculous thing to say.
You are the kind of people Laurel is talking about, Jesus spoke of love and compassion which oviouly people like you don't understand because you hold on to the old testement like it's the only part of the book. God made Homosexual's the way they are and if God does not make mistakes then that's it. How can any love be wrong but you only understand hate
@@nancycottone2155 I do NOT read the Bible to validate prejudices. I read the Bible because I am a Christian. "You are the kind of people" that do not face facts because it doesn't suit you. Perhaps you should read the Bible, because there are a number of passages that refer to homosexuality, not just Leviticus. This isn't about hate, it's about the truth and it is a lie to say that Jesus didn't mention it. Be honest! Stop lying about the Bible.
As a gay myself, I’m am so thrilled emmerdale are doing this story! They are absolutely nailing it! That lad is an amazing actor! Luckily my family were exactly the same as laurel and Nicola. Makes my heart warm!!

The way this story line is being handled is so refreshing compared to Aaron's.
Agree, it’s a nice change. Although Aaron was dealing with pretty bad self hatred considering what Gordon did to him - his family was still pretty accepting, especially considering it was a while ago.
As real as Aaron’s coming out was with the self loathing and suicidal thoughts, it was a nightmare to watch.
Times they are a-changing. Thank heavens.
Aaron´s background was very different to Arthur´s of course.
Beautifully done. Thinking back, I´m not so sure Ashley would have been quite so supportive. He was sometimes rather fundamentalist as I recall.
I had to laugh at Arthur starting off my talking about Paige on Love Island! That´s one way of approaching it.

Luckily these days you are allowed to be who you are
I think I am gay, and chew myself up about it
Don’t, it’s not a choice or anything so why beat yourself up over something you have no control over 😊
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈 to Arthur
Does arthur have a crush on marcas? Is he going to steal him from ethan???
Doubt it, arthur is like 15 and Marcus is like mid 20s
Arthur is too old for him I prefer him and April better
Josh Coyle but he's gay. So he can't be with her
Markeisha yeah, he might but i don't think that he will steal him from Ethan. And like danielle said he's 15 and Markus is in his mid 20s.
@@Ghet104 he can there is lots of gays who have been with woman like she has been with guys and woman Charity
This was so poignant. The UK Soaps are so wonderful dealing with Children's Issues whether it's their sexuality etc. In 2002 on December 24th Bianca Montgomery "Came Out" to her Mother on All My Children and her Mother Erica was mortified. Yet she came around, and even gave her blessing when Bianca got "Married".
My parents never accepted me
I’m Sorry they didn’t accept u dude just remember ur amazing
The fact parents don’t accept their kids over something they have 0 control over is so stupid, sorry this happened to you ♥️
I did complain, but my complaint was ignored. Obviously it is impossible to defend such blatant lies, when the words are in the Bible.
"If you read it trying to find something to validate your prejudices you'll probably find what you're looking for" "Do you not think Jesus would have mentioned it" It seems it is okay to lie about God and the Bible to satisfy the LGBT etc. group now. I am a Christian and this is insulting! It IS in the Bible.
"She'd give her right arm for one of hers to be gay" What a ridiculous thing to say.
Completely agree! Shocking to see the amount of perverted people commenting on this video aswell.
You are the kind of people Laurel is talking about, Jesus spoke of love and compassion which oviouly people like you don't understand because you hold on to the old testement like it's the only part of the book. God made Homosexual's the way they are and if God does not make mistakes then that's it. How can any love be wrong but you only understand hate
@@Honest_and_Brutal You are perverted, hatred is perverted, ignorance is perverted
@@nancycottone2155 calm down we're entitled to our opinion. We've not become China yet.
@@nancycottone2155 I do NOT read the Bible to validate prejudices. I read the Bible because I am a Christian. "You are the kind of people" that do not face facts because it doesn't suit you. Perhaps you should read the Bible, because there are a number of passages that refer to homosexuality, not just Leviticus. This isn't about hate, it's about the truth and it is a lie to say that Jesus didn't mention it. Be honest! Stop lying about the Bible.
Aww he hasn’t been hiding it😢He’s still a kid and just figuring it all out. He feels comfortable to come out now! Laurel🫶 Arthur🫶
