Heartstopper has been in the talks since before its release for it’s been
adopted from fans’ favorite graphic novel of the same name. It’s one of the very
first LGBTQ+ shows on Netflix, a reason which has significantly contributed to
its fame too. It has inspired a lot of people to come out. And validated many
into having the courage it needs to be comfortable with their identity. While
fans can’t stop gushing about the couples on the show, they’ve been intrusive to
the actors by speculating their sexuality. It’s only obvious for fans to want to
know their sexuality after such an emotionally empowering show. Amidst fans’
sensitive speculations, Kit Connor has come out to speak against them.


KIT CONNOR’S JAB AT FAN’S INVASIVE TWEETS

Kit Connor took to Twitter to express his annoyance at the intrusion of fans
trying to guess his sexuality. He was rather jokey about it. While some fans
made guessing comments, a lot came out to support Kit as an individual over his
star status.

Some fans even found him unreasonable because to them wanting to guess his
sexuality and dating status was obvious given that the star hadn’t disclosed any
details regarding those two statuses. A few of them even accused him of
queerbating, a phenomenon where an individual can’t accept his sexuality online
because they’re homophobic.

While the Heartstopper [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/heartstopper] has
literally stopped fans’ hearts, it has also continued to make the rainbow flag
proud. It’s a story about two teenage boys Nick and Charlie who fall for each
other after several hindrances. They first battle with themselves to accept
their sexuality, then with the societal norms to live freely as they are.

It’s the quintessential show to see multiple LGBTQ+ relationships come to
flourish and is as gushy as any other coming-of-age show. One more teen show
[https://www.netflix.com/watch/81425010?trackId=200257859] without the freshness
and inclusivity that LGBTQ+ brings would have been boring. Especially, following
the beautiful filmmaking that went into the shows like Elite
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/elite], Never Have I Ever
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/never-have-i-ever], and Riverdale
[https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/riverdale].

We’ll let Kit and Joe enjoy their fame and hope for them to pack more roles as
an apt fruit for their sincere efforts.
