The LGSM at the Welfare Hall
When the LGSM first arrives in Onllwyn, they do not look like the working class people who live there. They stick out as Londoners, and they stick out as gay people, dressed in punk-y 80s clothes. This creates a striking and at-times comedic image, a contrast between the more understated mining community and the more urban gay activists.
Jonathan Dancing
One night at the Welfare Hall, Jonathan begins to dance wildly and uninhibitedly. It is clearly not something that happens very often at the Welfare Hall in Onllwyn, and the miners immediately take notice. The women, in particular, are very excited to see a man expressing himself so spiritedly.
The Welsh Women at the Gay Clubs
Hefina, Gwen, and the other women from Onllwyn come to visit the LGSM in London and go clubbing with them one night. The image of the older, more buttoned-up Welsh women having a blast at leather bars and neon-lit gay clubs is a humorous image, and one that represents the spirit of the film, the connections between unexpected groups of people.
The Buses of Miners
At the end of the film, as the LGSM argues about how to march in the parade and whether to bring their political slogans to the pride march, dozens of buses pull up, carrying large groups of Welsh miners, who have come to march in solidarity with them. It is a moving image, of one marginalized political group coming to show its solidarity with the gay community.
