UK actor Danny Miller, who plays gay on soap ‘Emerdale,” is attacked by two drunken thugs
He’s not gay but he plays a gay character on television.
But apparently this was enough for two drunken idiots to attack Emmerdale star Danny Miller in Manchester after he watched his father – comic Vince Miller – perform a show.
Miller, who is only 19, Tweeted to fans: “I was attacked by a couple of lads tonight but escaped unharmed. I just didn’t want people worrying.”
He later acknowledged that the attack “was Emmerdale related.”
I’m glad he’s OK and hope this does not cause either the actor or the show’s producers to back off from the gay storyline. It’s also a reminder of the violence gay people face every day just for being themselves.
Some self-loathing people – especially when they get drunk – just seem way too threatened by that.
