Its been a refreshing change to not have endless accusations of racism this series actually.
I think its quite clear Ann has some homophobic views. I don't really think age is an excuse but I can see why others think it is. I did used to excuse my grandads homophobia as being gay was actually illegal for most of his life and I don't think its possible to just change your views as soon as the law changes. It was odd as my grandad was clearly homophobic but he got on brilliantly with my gay friends. He was so stereotypical in his thinking too..like, before he met any of them he thought all gay people were really camp and such.
I didn't mean to make this about my grandad. But yeah, I do think Ann has some homophobic views, but I don't know is she is actually homophobic, if that makes sense? It probably doesn't the way I am explaining it but I know what I mean
