Sexuality in EastEnders

In this scene we see Syed reveal his secret to his wife. Syed's wife does not take the news very well and attempts to try and change his mind, but with Christian in the room this makes it difficult for her to accept that he is gay, which portrays that she is still in love with Syed as Christian makes sly comments such as 'we share the same bed', he is almost casting revenge towards Syed's wife, because of the strong jealousy towards her. This clip is extremely emotional and traumatising.
In this scene we see the families reaction towards the 'coming out' of Syed. As we can see the family do not take it well. As the family are so religious, they also find it hard to accept the concept of the sexuality of Syed. Syed and Christian are now seen as outsiders and do not belong in the community they were originally in.
