Sce they seem to be nng this storyle that he is gay as he wr 'Leon is f' his diary next week and then blam on Louise, I was wonrg if Charlie Jon has actually e out real life.

No all gay men/boys are mp eher, so that generalisatn should be thrown straight out, and not all mp men/boys are gay eher.

I don't re whether the actor is gay and 14 is very young,. Lookg back at myself at that age, is now obv I was gay but I was up arms if was mentned.... Adult actors who play gay have problems om "fans" yet alone a kid who is dog his own growg up on and OFF screen.
