It's worth noting an aspect of the central statement "The Thing About Auntie" is now lost to modern eyes but obvious to the original viewers: namely, that if Auntie were actually gay, he would be guilty of a criminal act (thus reflecting badly on Scott Furlong and its' Sovereign crew). It wasn't until the Sexual Offences Act 1967 that consensual and private sexual acts between men over the age of 21 was deemed legal in England and Wales.
