I’m bi. Congrats for forcing an 18-year-old to out himself,” he wrote. “I think some of you missed the point of the show. Bye.” Shortly after he uploaded the message, an array of fans and industry peers flocked to his profile to showcase their support while also slamming fans who forced him to come out.
One person wrote: “I’m so sorry this is happening. You don’t deserve this at all. I’m infinitely proud of you and I send you all the love xx.” Another fan tweeted: “This is awful.
I’m so sorry, Kit. No one should have to out themselves unless it’s on their own terms and they’re ready to come out. We love you.
