Kit Connor came out as bisexual– though not on his own accord.
OnOct 31, the Heartstopper star called out social networks users who had actually been implicating him of queerbaiting, a term utilized to explain individuals who lean into suspicion that they might be queer in hopes of drawing in attention and promotion. In a tweet, Connor knocked the claims and composed, “i’m bi. congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself.”
The British star– who plays Nick Nelson, a teenager pertaining to terms with his sexuality, on Heartstopper– likewise kept in mind, “i think some of you missed the point of the show. bye.”
Connor’s tweet comes 5 months after he challenged the claims online. “twitter is so funny man,” hetweeted on May 2 “apparently some people on here know my sexuality better than I do.”
Later that month, the His Dark Materials alum called the queerbaiting allegations “mean” and safeguarded his option to keep his sexuality personal.
