” Thgs did happen, and Nathan beme the first ever gay realy TV star to engage sexual activy on seri 11, Nathan cid he wanted to e-out fully to both stmat and viewers wh the veat that he had full agency over how the suatn unfold. “A heterosexual character a soap might be a murrer, or a liar, or a thief, but a homosexual character is simply that: homosexual, ” said Andrew McMillan The Guardian. On The X Factor, openly gay nttants (Rylan, Diva Fever, Johnny Robson) were prented as novelty acts who existed on the periphery of the ser petn.

That Nathan n be accepted by the ‘lads’ whout any issue unters tired ias of how masculy manifted equals homophobia. ”Cristian, 24, a gay viewer, rells: “When Nathan me out, I remember thkg how supportive all of the lads were about , and then they ntued to embrace him as one of the boys.
