Kit Connor: Heartstopper star 'forced' to come out as bisexual
This is honestly so toxic.
Real people can't queerbait - they're just living their lives. There are risks and negatives to coming out still, and we also don't know how someone's family will react.
Also, sexuality is a fluid thing - or can be - people experiment, and should be allowed to do this without being jumped on.
On the one hand, I get the idea that people want queer characters played by queer actors. On the other hand, things like this will actively stop queer stories from being made, particularly queer stories about young people, because who wants to put a teenager through this?
It also just reinforces toxic behaviour in real life. Noone owes you their sexuality, or an explanation of their sexuality. And that goes double when they may still be figuring it out.
Hello world, reaching to everyone is one of the members of the queer refugees community from Kenya Kakuma refugee camp. Life has never been good since we came to the camp years ago in 2019 and 2020. Although life is hard, lgbtiqa refugees have continuously joined us in the camp in the latest years leading to a bigger number of lgbt refugees in Kenya.
The camp has over 200,000 total number of refugees with just about 1300 lgbtiqa+ refugees. Its just a smaller ratio of lgbtiqa regugees facing persevution from the bigger number of other refugees.
Most of us have fled from Uganda where things turned out to be hard on queer people including death and imprisonment of lgbtiqa people. I call upon everyone tk help and support the the fellow queer people surbive through this trauma. You can’t imagine we have lost friends through death due to homophobia. One of us who was killed badly by setting fire on them did noy live for a month later. When we rushed them to hospital, doctors knew was trans and so devided to delay him and later died. We please need everyone to help. Even contacting UNHCR can help.
Look we have a youtube channel for more information and links like petitions and fundraiser are attached to our youtube channel

It takes a good and kind heart to help, you will always stick on our hearts yiu people that make us feel we sre loved and cared about. Sustaining ourselves has failed us. We would prefer having jobs however no one can give a job to a demon like how the call us to be.
Hospital treatment in the government and UNHCR hospitals is hard because of homophobia and delays on LGBT people. For the love and support of one another, we love you
