Heartstopper star Kit Connor has been sexuality-speculated right off of Twitter.The actor is part of a growing contingent of men in Hollywood who don’t care to publicly label their sexuality.
Some take this as a progressive step towards general sexual fluidity and liberation, while others take it as non-queer people attempting to pander to (and profit from) the queer community.The latter group took aim at Connor this week after he was seen out and about holding hands with his A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow costar, Maia Reficco.Many came to the star’s defense, pointing out that the moment neither defined the pair’s relationship nor his personal sexuality.
Some pointed to him also having held hands with Heartstopper co-star Joe Locke at Pride London back in July.The drama of the whole discussion was apparently the last straw for Connor:this is a silly silly app.
