"And like, for me, the greater scheme of thgs—gay jok as an issue is one thg but when people make fun of me beg gay 's like [shgs] do all day, " he went on. One of Lord John Grey's biggt character tras is his homosexualy.

Particularly a time when homosexualy was somethg that uld easily get you killed, havg an LGBTQ+ character is somethg worthy of note. And although Lord John Grey is gay, and he tak the necsary preutns to keep this dangero fact a secret, he's not ashamed of who he is. There's a big difference between hidg your homosexualy bee n get you killed and hidg bee you're ashamed of .

In a time where one had to be extremely reful to hi one's sexualy if didn't abi by the norm, Lord Grey did a stellar job of beg ee wh his sexualy whout makg known that he was gay. He also has a uple unnamed one night stands and often viss Lavenr Hoe, a club that specific to satisfy the needs of homosexual men, who were then forced to hi their sexual orientatn.
