if you think forcing an 18yo to come out before he is ready is activism, then just go fuck yourself. you're not helping the community, you're not helping anyone. you're just a bully.

Hey, everyone, this is super not cool for lots of reasons!
1. A (supposedly) straight person playing a gay character is not “queerbaiting.” I’m taking this word away until people learn how to use it properly. Queerbaiting is deliberate and concerted effort to trick queer people into thinking a character/person is queer in order to gain viewership and $$ from queer people, without ever confirming it so that they don’t have to risk losing homophobe viewers/fans/$$. An actor playing a queer character once and not feeling comfortable stating their orientation in NO WAY fits that definition.
2. Kit is EIGHTEEN. I know lots of young people are discovering their identities at younger and younger ages, but that’s not universally true. And even if it were, it’s a different story for a celebrity to feel pressured to announce their orientation. That’s pressuring someone young to out themselves publicly, which is massively fucked up. Coming out should always be a person’s free, non-coerced choice when they’re ready.
3. Quote from the article: “It feels a bit strange to make assumptions about a person’s sexuality just based on hearing their voice or seeing their appearance,” Connor added at the time. “I feel like that’s a very interesting, slightly problematic sort of assumption to make.” People just assumed Kit was straight because of his voice/mannerisms?? What the fuck?!?!! Like, queer people did this!!! That’s massively problematic, actually!!! And misses a major point of the show, which is really fucking ironic. Queer people don’t need to fit certain stereotypes in looks and mannerisms in order to be queer!!!!
Anyway, sending love to Kit right now. No one should ever feel forced to out themselves before they’re ready. I hope he finds supportive and healing bi community!

It's weird seeing people call Elvira The Mistress of the Dark/Cassandra Peterson lesbian when she's openly expressed attractions towards both men and women.
Peterson elaborated on her thought process about her attraction to both men and Wierson, expressing that she’s asked herself questions about her sexuality and how the timing of her love for Wierson may be impacting how she identifies. “I’m always asking myself, ‘Did you turn gay all of a sudden, after 50 years? Wow! What’s up with that?'” Peterson said with a laugh. “I don’t think I did because I’m still mainly attracted to men.”
The Elvira star affirmed that she is “attracted to men” but that her relationship with Wierson, a woman, resulted from a friendship of many years that over time became deeper and is still “fantastic” 19 years later. While Peterson says her relationship has been “great,” she’s still unsure how she would label herself.“I would be fine with saying I came out and I’m gay, but I don’t think I’m gay. I don’t know what the hell I am!” she told the outlet. “And even people have said, ‘Oh, you’re bi.’ And I said, ‘Well, I guess I am now! It wasn’t until I turned 50!’ I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s been great.”
🩷💜💙

This artist, Alper Yesiltas, uses AI to help create portraits of famous people who died young, and what they would look like today had they lived.
Here is the portrait of what Freddie Mercury might have looked like at 77.

Hold on I know we’ve joked that this is Eddie all like: “I’m rolling with the LGB 💪 💅”
but like look at the positioning of them. I know they all have their cute little gay pose but actually look. I know they’re actors but they’re representing their 9-1-1 characters.
So see it like Buck in the middle, with his arms out to present the two lesbians, but then behind him is the two gays (hopefully), Josh and Eddie. and then Buck is in the middle. It’s literally a scale, like the ones that like only men, the guy that likes men and women then the two that like only women. You know them venn diagrams or some shit

I think that Ariana Grande may be bisexual. In one of her songs her lyrics are "I like women and men." Then when asked how she labels herself she said "I haven't before and still don't feel the need to now which is okay." Which seems common among bisexuals where they do the no labels but admit attraction to more than 1 gender.
Here’s the song^ Victoria Monét is openly bisexual btw
