LETTERS TO THE EDOR: I’M GAY AND DON’T WANT TO PATRONIZE BIGOTS. THANKS, SUPREME COURT
Am I gay? It was October 31, and the Brish actor, then 18, was the middle of shootg the send season of Heartstopper, the young-adult Netflix romance seri which he plays Nick Nelson, a bisexual-but-hasn’t-realized--yet jock who be the primary love tert of the central character, the gay misf Charlie (played by Joe Locke).
He’s got a supportive mother (the great Olivia Colman, also seen the first season; “Dog a scene wh her is gog to teach you more than a year of drama school, ” Connor gh) and a tense dynamic wh a homophobic brother. I put the seri, based on Alice Oseman’s graphic novels, on the background while assemblg furnure (very gay, I know) and I was transfixed. The path om “I’ve only ever met one openly gay person before” to planng a triple date is swift.
Charlie was outed the prev school year, but has now e to his own and claims his gayns fortably. Popular jock is aggrsively homophobic and bulli feme gay boy, all while sexual tensn simmers.
