THANK YOU. I haven't seen many people talking about this aspect of it. Diving deeper, queerbaiting is a marketing tool used to lure a queer audience without actually making the characters queer. But this is a queer coming-of-age story with many queer characters and actors. It's literally the A plot, the B plot, _and_ the C plot. Queerbaiting should _never_ be applied to real people. I find the fact that they were using that word and harassing him about his sexuality pretty disgusting actually.

yes people these are soo dumb like people have you never watched a show before what if the main character is a serial killer than do they have to be a serial killer in real life cause that's all I'm getting from this or what they are serialbaiting Or something I just can't with people these days
I am so angry that trolls have forced Kit to declare his sexuality publicly. This is something that is private and personal to each individual. It is unacceptable for such pressure to be placed on a young person to declare who or what they are. Kit I support you and admire you tremendously. I am so sorry that you feel pressured to give in to the disgusting trolls. I think you are an amazing actor and that is what you should be judged on, not your private life. Take care and know that there is a great deal of support for you.

Kit Connor deserves better. He was a CHILD getting death threats, being harassed and falsely accused of things all because of a role he decided to play. Sure he’s 18 now, but he JUST turned 18, and he’s still a teenager whether he’s a legal adult or not. And yet people pressured him to come out as if they were obligated to that information. People disgust me.

i think he was right- those “fans” missed the point of the show.
It breaks my heart to know people treat him this way. He is just the most wholesome, sweet, kind, honest, and caring person I have seen and he deserves so much better. I really hope people realize that what they did is wrong.
People DESPERATELY need to read the definition of a word before they use it. ‘Queerbaiting’ is a media-related term. It is the purposeful misdirection of the creator/publicity team behind a FICTIONAL work of media to draw in queer viewers while not alienating queerphobic ones. REAL PEOPLE CANNOT QUEERBAIT. While it is important to have visibly queer celebrities, that doesn’t mean celebrities aren’t entitled to come out on their own terms, like anybody else. It is especially sad that this is coming from viewers of a tv show that is LITERALLY ABOUT the impact of a teenager being outed against his will. I hope the people who were pressuring Kit feel awful and that this is a wakeup call for them.
How sad that this kind of thing happens, NOBODY DESERVES TO GO THROUGH A SITUATION LIKE THIS, no one should be forced by other people, I just hope that right now he is better, he is an incredible person, all my respect and admiration for him❤️
17 years ago I was rounded upon by a female colleague who told me that the rest of the office - I was one of only two men among twenty women - thought I'd be happier if I came out to everyone. I was incensed when I was confronted by this and explained, very patiently, through gritted teeth, that I didn't come to work to have sex and my sexuality had nothing to do with my job consequently. The worse thing was I was told matter of factly that everyone 'knew' but if I wanted to suffer in silence that was my decision and that my wish to stay closeted would be communicated to everyone else. I reiterated that it wasn't anyone's business and I wasn't making it hard for myself as it was a non issue; I later found that nobody really 'knew' because mostly nobody cared but the three women in the office who had a history of sleeping with male co-workers but since I hadn't shown any interest in them when I joined the team, I was obviously gay. Yes, I was gay but what did that matter. I was so annoyed I threatened to complain about this passive aggressive harassment; the provocative bullying started after that. Which continued for weeks until I snapped back one day - which was their strategy - and a grievance was made against me, and I lost my job. Later, I was prevented from taking up my next job because the reference I got back from my previous employer said I was a sexual aggressor in the work place. Things have moved on since but then my complaints and legal action afterwards came to nothing; I fought hard to reclaim my good reputation but three crying women swayed the opinion more than my solitary 'gay' voice. Now we have social media, and that doesn't solve the situation, usually, but it does communicate it, to warn others. And we can draw strength from helping those who have been isolated and then bullied to outburst - there's remedy in sharing stories.

And their lying was eventually exposed when I reported it through a complaint after the fact; they were themselves disciplined and have never been promoted to management positions since because they were, and are, deemed a liability that could cost their employer too much if they repeated their activities with others in the future - they can never escape the people they are and always will be. Thank you again for your kind words and I hope, if anything, my story inspires people, in similar situations, not to suffer in silence; it doesn't hurt to diary these instances of bullying and report it confidentially - that's the lasting lesson I learnt.

It's funny because these people who made him feel this way and urged him to come out when he wasn't even ready are all fans of the franchise. Did you miss some of the storyline? Charlie had such a hard time after being outed to the school. Now that this has happened to Kit I feel terrible. People need to stop digging into others personal matters.

I’m an old guy. Came out at 19 in 1980. Our community has pushed and outed people for far too long. I’d hoped that we’d learned from that and moved on. Respecting people’s life journey is essential. No one should have to reveal their sexuality until and if ever they want. I’m so sorry this happened.

He is so adorable and sweet. He is so right! They are so young and should have been able to do things when they are ready to not be pressured into it.
just like how Kit has said before, those people did NOT get the point of the show nor the books. What these "fans" did is so disgusting and they are not real fans. I'm honestly so surprised that Kit handles all of this so well. Like if that was me I would've definitely been a lot more taken aback by the whole thing. Love you Kit, love the Heartstopper cast, take care of yourselves even tho none of u will probably ever see this 😌💕
Those people shouldn't call themselves fans if they don't understand the whole point of Heartstopper and do this
Unfortunatly he felt obligated to out himself not for him when he's not ready but just to shut theses sh** rumors those who accused him queerbating are NOT fans but trolls idk what to say i was just sad and feel bad for him i truly think he shouldn't do that he own nothing to anyone there're noundaries and some of f** toxic fans simply didn't respect i don't get how ,some ppl do it gleely then don't feel ashamed he's still a teen at the end of the day this casualty could ruin his career and affect his mental health when i think some of the cast had fun celebrating haloween meanwhile kit struggling to decide to out himself i hope he was supported by close friends and family come out is a big thing but he didn't have time to get ready it's odd and disgusting i'll always remember how Nick came out to his mom then friends and his father the didn't have the chance to do it properly for me nothing changed gay straight bi or others i still love and support him like i do whith my cousin i hope he knows he's LOVED and real fans will always love him and the show, always
Well agree with you Kit. Who's business is it but your own! I knew i was gay at 18 and 25 now but have never 'come out' as such. It shouldn't change anything. People love you for who you are 👌👍❤️
I'm sorry my brother. Being outed is not the way we've hoped for you to come out. Coming out is supposed to be joysome and happy because you've figured out yourself however sadly for most it's a sad story. I'm sorry you should've felt comfortable to come out on your own time in your own way. You shouldn't have to come out before you were ready. 😢 Putting a label to yourself at a young age creates a disaster for confusion and coming out too early can show conflicting emotions and there's so much pressure to come out, it's sad. I'm sorry this happened to you Kit you deserved better ❤
To anyone who feels like someone they know is trying to come out Just don't bring it up because ur just going to make it harder Be open to them and let them know that they can trust u but don't directly say it like "you know u can trust me" because then they will know that u think that they are trying to come out But if they come out to u don't tell people that's literally the worst thing to do ❤
2:37 PLEASE- 😭😂
When it comes to it , it is your business no one else's. Don't give in to anyone..

Why would anyone feel they have the right to ask what a person is or who they are with in the privacy of their own space. I can not for the life of me comprehend why ANYONE feels it’s okay to ask who or what someone is…or if they are top or bottom…I am a 49 yr old person and I truly hope I live to see the day where no one has to “come out” there is so much more important issues in the world then to have to wonder or worry who or how someone shares their space with someone else.

Just continue being your precious self. Hell on any bodies opinion.continue with your beautiful life and self.

I can’t even wrap my brain around someone being so openly rude as to assume one’s sexuality at such young tender ages. Sexual aggression needs to be part of teaching sex ed for both boys and girls; and who / where to find sanctuary and safety

It just feels great when an LGBT actor turns out to actually be LGBT.
Nobody should be forced to speak out publicly about their sexuality. We should all assume that each of us has our own identity and taste in sex / love and that there is quite a wide range of nuances to this. Human beings are complex creatures, this complexity is what makes us capable of writing poetry, creating music, painting pictures, feeling so many different emotions. Some people are straight, some are not. And that's that. It has always been and always will be. Peace and love. And treat people with kindness.

I have a pride ring that I wear 24/7, and in general I don't mind people asking about it, but what kind of answer I give depends on who you are, what kind of setting we're in, and how I'm feeling in general. I had a coworker who asked about it one evening during a break, and I gave him a vague answer because I was tired, it was a long shift, I didn't know him overly well, and in the past he'd had a history of saying some fairly blunt, off putting, judgmental things, and I didn't have the energy to either educate him on my orientation or fend off idiotic comments. He kept pushing it, though, and eventually I told him just to get him to leave it alone. It's so irritating how entitled some people feel to private information about others in general. You aren't owed any information about anyone, but especially people you aren't close with.

Hes totally right about labels, most labels are just there for others to define/catagorise us based on their understanding of the term. If you're comfortable in who you are, you can label yourself or not, its irrelevant what you do, so long as you do it for yourself and no one else. A sad truth of society today is that it will always seek to understand, define and name everything, even sexuality. X

Apart from the point that it‘s just ridiculous how so many people are interested/obsessed about the private life of a person they will never know personally (like, you will never know who they really are) - When I read the comments in shorts like this one… He was literally never forced to come out. Like no one has to justify themself in situations like this. As if people had hold a gun in front of him. It was 2022 and while some things get better these days, it‘s the hard truth that there are many rude and insensitive people. And you will be confronted with their stupid opinions even more when you‘re famous. This hasn‘t changed and people lose a lot of energy feeling angry with things like that. Personally I just wish him and other people lots of confidence and self-love so they don‘t give into the energy of pitiful people.
I hate that people accused him of queeerbating and didn't take his answer as good enough until he came out. Kit deserved to tell people publicly on his own time and if he even wanted to instead of people forcing him to.

Not only did people pull this with Kit, people are trying to pull it with Harry Styles who also stated that he did not want to label himself. Absolutely ridiculous. It is their right to privacy and it’s sickening that people feel the need to invade said privacy.
Its terrible what happened to him, but can we please stop assuming that it shouldn’t happen just because it’s a certain century?? because if anything, the world really isn’t getting any better. luckily we have the pride community and supporters who will love us, but for thousands of years people have believed what they have because of god and church, and that’s not going to change just because of a few decades. i wish it could, but the world still has a long way to go. so proud of you kit for shutting everyone up and being confident in your own person. we love you ❤❤
Kit didn't deserve to be pressured into coming out. No one ever does. People should be free to come out when they are ready, I hope he is doing okay with it.

I AM PROUD TO YOU... B! 💙
Public figures need to draw a line between their public and private lives....the public pay for a performance they should not be encouraged to demand more. You play a great gay role and your an amazing actor, but you deserve to enjoy your life and success when and how you chose to live privately.... I was very vocal over Liberace's fans wanting to slur the entertainer, over what they do privately, their show admission they brought did not buy them access to the performers life.

People feel like they have even more access to people now because we all live our lives online - it's such a blurry line! If you want to hear more from Kit, as he talks much more about this - and there's a Joe Locke episode too - make sure you check out the full interview on my podcast Reign here: hyperurl.co/i4yxt0
Well Kit, that was Gen Z right there, the ones who speculated, the ones who believe in labels, the ones who follow the stereotypes, etc. All these woke people who think they are doing something good for the world, are just ruining it even more
queerbaiting would imply that they’re not actually gay IN FILM and that there’s no payoff. why are we questioning the real life actor 😐
Kit said it best

People are people. And they all deserve the same amount of privacy and respect. It doesn’t matter wether you’re a celebrity, a normal person, a man, a woman, a nonbinary individual. It really doesn’t matter cause in the end we’re all just human beings. It absolutely disgusts me that people forced him to come out PUBLICLY about something he felt he wasn’t ready to come out about. It’s just awful and I’m so sorry Kit had to go through this.
My celebrity crush is Kit Conner
It’s sad how some idiots just had to force him to come out. He can come out whenever he’s ready and doesn’t need to do it publicly. Shame on them!
The cast don't owe us anything to be frank it's none of our business. They are all entitled to live their lives the way they want to without sticky beaks getting involved. Nobody is entitled to know this information.

I don’t care really about people‘s label I just care if they’re one of us, aka are you cultured enough to be in a queer friend group. Since he already played a queer guy before idk why people cared, he’s obviously not homophobic. He is still so young so it makes sense he might be unsure and he’s not the Ben type of repressed queer who hurts others.
I never understood why people care so much about a person sexually who they don’t know personally it’s so wild like it’s nobody’s business who he hooks up with it’s weird and so invasive
