Heartstopper’s Kit Connor has come out as bisexual. But while celebrity coming out stories are often (rightfully) met with joyful support, Connor’s announcement is bittersweet — because the decision to come out at this moment in time was forced on him.
The 18-year-old actor stars in Netflix’s Heartstopper, which centers around the friendship and budding romance between his character, Nick, and Charlie (played by Joe Locke). The show is as sweet as it is groundbreaking, considering that just a few years back, LGBTQ+ shows were virtually non-existent on the streaming platform.
