Heartstopper: Kit Connor Forced to Come Out as Bisexual

Heartstopper is one of the most played series of this year. The series, a Netflix original and inspired by Alice Oseman's webtoon, became one of the most famous this year. This is how the protagonists of the series have had to face the sudden fame generated by their participation in the show. Both Joe Locke and Kit Connor, for better or worse, have been victims of this sudden fame. Certainly there have been many good things, such as international recognition, but the young Connor has had to deal with not always positive comments on social networks.

Kit, who plays the character of Nick Nelson in the Netflix series has been under fire for allegedly 'queerbaiting'. People often use the word to those who pretend to appeal to the LGBTQ+ community through characters who imply that they belong to a minority, even though they are not. Because the hate messages were increasing in the actor's social networks, he himself decided to talk about his sexual orientation for the first time. However, he also launched a strong message about how little has remained of the message they wanted to give with the story of "Hearstopper".
