WHO DO BENEDICT BRIDGERTON MARRY AND IS HE GAY?

Speakg to GQ, he said that an 'actor iend' told him: "There's two thgs we don't want to know: if you're an alholic or if you're gay. He explaed: "The most nservative nversatns I’ve had about me beg hont about my sexualy this day and age have e om gay men the dtry, ‘Oh, no, you n’t e out.

There’s a sense of shame, I thk, that’s palpable throughout gay men wh the dtry. Speakg wh GQ UK, Jonathan Bailey, who is openly gay, discsed the challeng of addrsg his sexualy publicly.

“At the time he was told, ‘There’s two thgs we don’t want to know: if you’re an alholic or if you’re gay…’ All tak is for one of those people that posn of power to say that, and rippl through… so, yeah, of urse I thought that.

JONATHAN BAILEY, ANTHONY DI BRIDGERTON: “SONO GAY, PERò MI NSIGLIARONO DI NON DIRLO”

It suggted that the send elst Bridgerton might actually be gay — or, at the very least, bisexual.

And their anger seems well placed light of shownner Chris Van Den recently givg an terview and sayg that the character's storyle Season 1 was not meant to suggt he was gay and that was a "nsc choice" not to have his sexualy be fluid Season 2. That uld even expla why Benedict's gay pal is nowhere to be seen this season; he's much easier to leave out than to ed out. The first season of Bridgerton hted at potential LGBTQ+ storyl for Benedict and Eloise but they weren't built upon season 2 and fans are disappoted by the lack of queer Benedict Bridgerton gay?

A fan of the show tweeted: "Are they actually gog to put me out of my misery and make Eloise or Benedict gay or jt queer ba me to oblivn huh. So are they actually gog to put me out of my misery and make Eloise or Benedict gay or jt queer ba me to oblivn huh #Bridgerton— MJ (Bridgerton Spoilers) (@TheFatLannister) March 26, 2022.

WHO IS BENEDICT BRIDGERTON? IS HE GAY?

The sheer lack of queer narrativ #Bridgerton opposn to other #Shondaland productns (which are mostly queer productns) mak me realize how DESPERATE I am for a gay perd drama set a world that isn't homophobic. L’attore branni non ha mai nassto la sua omossualà, nonostante molti i suoi lleghi gli avsero snsigliato di fare g out: “Sul set voglno che tu non sia troppo gay”.

Molti mi dicevano di non fare g out, avvisandomi che negli studs accettano che tu sia “gay, ma non troppo". Eppure sembra istere una lea di pensiero sendo la quale uomi apertamente gay, non possano diventare protagonisti maschili etero. L'attore ntua il racnto l suo rapporto n il mondo llo spettalo, mettendo luce un aspetto tersante, relativo alla necsà di doversi nasnre che a volte assale alcuni terpreti omossuali e che li porta a non renre noto ciò che ac nelle loro ve al di fuori l set: "Le nversazni più nservatrici che ho avuto sono state n uomi gay di quta dtria.

Dall’altra parte racntare l’omossualà o temi vici è una necsà e qudi l’dtria ha anche bisogno di attori gay. Is Benedict Bridgerton Gay?
