#especially kit connor

friendly reminder:

it’s okay to be unlabeled in the LGBTQ+ community

it’s okay to use a label in the past that might not fit you anymore

it’s okay to use a label now that might not fit you

it’s okay to not be willing to come out

it’s okay to not know who you are yet

it’s okay to be queer and not let people know about it

you DO NOT have to be out in order to be valid in your sexuality

unfriendly reminder:

*only specifically to the people who think you need to come out in order to be valid

no you don’t

please be quiet

forcing people to come out before they are ready (especially a kid) is very wrong and you should not do it

nick saying he’s bi actually is not cringe!!! affirming your identity is not cringe!! being proud and assertive and sure of who you are and what you want to be referred to as is not cringe!!!!! it’s courageous and brave and prideful and beautiful!!!

tw: outing + swearing in the tags

things i will never do:

forgive the people who harassed kit connor, a closeted eighteen year old to the point where he was forced to come out

In Public Speaking we have to do a speech on psychology and we get to pick what we specifically want to do. I’m doing my speech about parasocial relationships with celebrities and I’m using Taylor Swift and Walker Scobell as my examples. I’m actually really excited for this

If anyone has any resources you want to send that’d be great but that’s not what this post is about I’m just excited. (I’m only putting this here because I know a lot of people on this site are into this topic!)

okay apparently it needs to be said again because some people still find this to be a difficult concept. if someone had said they don't want to talk about their sexuality, LEAVE THEM ALONE. no matter how famous they are or which character they play, they do not owe you this information.

i just know Nick makes sure him and Charlie are standing under the mistletoe so they can kiss

watching heartstopper s1 and s2 back to back is a wild and emotionally draining experience in the best way possible

Kit Connor Wasn’t Ready

‘The star of Netflix’s teen rom-com Heartstopper was forced to come out by fans. He’s not letting them get to him anymore.’

An interview with Kit in the New York Magazine (Vulture). To those who contacted his friends and family enquiring about his sexuality, the biggest of FUCK YOU’s!

As always Kit, we love you! 🩷💜💙

full offense but i’m very uncomfortable with y’all posting the shirtless photos of kit connor when he’s just barely 19. it feels very exploitative and i don’t like it.

I’ve literally had multiple people ask me straight to my face if I was bisexual because they suspected I was and even tho I knew in all three of those situations that the person I was talking to was safe (either queer themself or an ally), it was really scary to be forced in that moment to come out without my consent, or feel forced to lie about it in order to protect myself, regardless of whether I needed to or not. I can’t imagine being a world famous celebrity and having fan pages dedicated to my alleged sexuality, analyzing every behavior I did and whether or not it was queer, calling all of my relationships PR relationships or beards because they are so convinced I am a homosexual. Either erasing my bisexuality to call me a lesbian or forcefully outing me. People who don’t even know me. It’s scary and honestly creepy enough having someone who knows you personally do it, but someone who’s never even met you? And doing it in front of the whole world? I would never feel safe enough to come out, not just because of the risk of homophobic attacks, but because the people who claim to support me are the ones that made me do it

i feel like…because kit talks abt will a lot and joe always hangs out with bash, fans underestimate joe and kit’s friendship most of the time (also maybe because they’re not super duper affectionate with each other and hide it behind insults jokes and teasing each other) but what they have is something unique and deep and only they understand because they go through such similar experiences

[bexfangirlforlife]

Seeing the movie scenes with Kit Connor and Taron Egerton on the big screen in the concert hall while Elton John played don't let the sun go down on me was really cool.

I’m not sure if this is a controversial opinion or not, but since Wilhelm never assigns a label to himself (and Edvin Ryding has also talked about the power of him being unlabelled), I think it’s important that we never say “Wilhelm identitifies as [x]” and we should only use labels for him when it’s referring to broader concepts (such as queerness).

[south-of-knowing-why]

The fact that Joe had to delete his twitter and Kit has been forced to out himself only 7 months after the show premiered is wild. Truly one of the worst fandoms I’ve seen.
