So is it actually true that Graham Linehan is a homosexual? I think I can see what his problem is.

For someone of his limited intellectual stature, he will have assimilated all the toxic tropes relating homosexuality to 'effeminacy', and 'males' adopting and embracing culturally-mediated 'feminine' things?

He obviously wants to be a big, strutting social peacock that is absolutely and unequivically butch - any feminity? - no siree!!! He wants to be King Dickhead of the Ogrons, but because he is a homosexual, his acceptance within boorish, lumpen, oafish 'bro culture' is contingent at best, or a ruse to humour him at worst.

It could also be that he is acutely conscious of the rigid, patriarchal male privlege hierarchy, intutitively grasping that as a homosexual (if this is the case), places him under the proper real men who have girlfriends and wives. It must stick in his craw, to find that his status to manhood is so very compromised and contingent. No wonder he hates the very essence of toxic patriarchy's HetaRolenzOppressive diktat.

He knows he's gay and that he can never belong, no matter how many pints of Stella Artois or Kronenburg 1664 he slings down his neck, before stumbling drunkenly home with a donor kebab, before burping and farting his way through back-catalogue episodes of Match of The Day.

I bet his rancid whisky-breath hobo of a father used to force him to sit through countless editions of Grandstand and World of Sport at the weekends in the throughout the Cultural Birkenau of the 1970’s, 1980’s, 1990’s, 2000’s and, let’s face it, the 2010’s, too.
