Der kanadische Schauspieler Connor Jessup hat sich via Instagram als schwul geoutet. An seinem 25. Geburtstag am Sonntag postete der ehemalige Kinderstar ein Mini-Essay, das mit den Worten beginnt: "Ich wusste im Alter von 13 Jahren, dass ich schwul bin, aber ich habe es jahrelang verheimlicht und versucht, nicht daran zu denken." Dabei sei f�r ihn als "wei�er, Cis-Mann aus einer liberalen Mittelklassefamilie" Akzeptanz nie ein Problem gewesen. Privat sei er seit Jahren out gewesen, aber nicht in der �ffentlichkeit. In dem Text sprach der in Toronto geborene Schauspieler dar�ber, dass er sich sch�me, so lange seine sexuelle Orientierung verheimlicht zu haben. Das sei ein "erm�dendes Spiel" gewesen. Dieses Spiel habe sich zwar zu diesem Zeitpunkt harmlos angef�hlt � Scham sei aber "immer brutal", wie er jetzt wisse.

I knew I was gay when I was thirteen, but I hid it for years. I folded it and slipped it under the rest of my emotional clutter. Not worth the hassle. No one will care anyway. If I can just keep making it smaller, smaller, smaller�. My shame took the form of a shrug, but it was shame. Im a white, cis man from an upper-middle class liberal family. Acceptance was never a question. But still, suspended in all this privilege, I balked. It took me years. Its ongoing. Im saying this now because I have conspicuously not said it before. Ive been out for years in my private life, but never quite publicly. Ive played that tedious game. Most painfully, Ive talked about the gay characters Ive played from a neutral, almost anthropological distance, as if they were separate from me. These evasions are bizarre and embarrassing to me now, but at the time they were natural. Discretion was default, and it seemed benign. It would be presumptuous to assume anyone would care, yeah? And anyway, why should I have to say anything? What right do strangers have to the intimate details of my life? These and other background whispersnew, softer forms of the same voices from when I was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen�. Shame can come heavy and loud, but it can come quiet too; it can take cover behind comfort and convenience. But its always violent. For me, this discretion has become airless. I dont want to censorconsciously or notthe ways I talk, sit, laugh, or dress, the stories I tell, the jokes I make, my points of reference and connection. I dont want to be complicit, even peripherally, in the idea that being gay is a problem to be solved or hushed. Im grateful to be gay. Queerness is a solution. Its a promise against cliche and solipsism and blandness; its a tilted head and an open window. I value more everyday the people, movies, books, and music that open me to it. If youre gay, bi, trans, two-spirit or questioning, if youre confused, if youre in ain or you feel youre alone, if you arent or you dont: You make the world more surprising and bearable. To all the queers, deviants, misfits, and lovers in my life: I love you. I love you. Happy Pride!

Das Filmplakat zu "Closet Monster" (Bild: Pro-Fun Media)Besonders sch�me er sich, dass er schwule Figuren gespielt habe, dar�ber aber so gesprochen habe, als habe das nichts mit ihm selbst zu tun. "Aber zu der Zeit war das f�r mich nat�rlich", so der 25-J�hrige. Jessup spielt auf den preisgekr�nten kanadischen Film "Closet Monster" aus dem Jahr 2015 an, in dem er die Hauptrolle �bernommen hatte � die eines jungen schwulen Mannes, der an seiner internalisierten Homophobie litt. Dabei sei er "dankbar, schwul zu sein", erkl�rte Jessup in seinem Mini-Essay. "Queerness ist eine L�sung." Es sei, als ob sich ein Fenster ge�ffnet habe und es ihn offener mache. Am Ende richtete er sich an alle, die anders als der Durchschnitt seien: "Ihr macht die Welt vielf�ltiger und ertr�glich." Er beendete seinen Text mit den Worten: "Ich liebe euch. Happy Pride!" Jessup ist insbesondere bekannt f�r seine Rollen in der 49-teiligen amerikanischen Science-Fiction-Serie "Falling Skies"�(2011-2015) und in der hochgelobten US-Krimireihe "American Crime". Zuletzt machte er auch erste Schritte als Drehbuchautor und Regisseur. So drehte er eine Dokumentation �ber den thail�ndischen Filmemacher Apichatpong Weerasethakul. (dk)

Connor und miles: das neue hollywood-traumpaar

Der kanadische Schauspieler Connor Jessup hat am Samstag via Instagram bekannt gegeben, dass er und "Love, Simon"-Star Miles Heizer ein Paar sind. Jessup ver�ffentlichte am Tag nach dem Valentinstag ein Bild, in dem er breit grinsend neben seinem Liebsten zu sehen ist. Dazu schrieb der 25-J�hrige an seinen f�nf Wochen �lteren Freund: "Ich bin ein bisschen sp�t dran, aber ich liebe dich. Du bist klasse. Du machst mich zu einem besseren Menschen. Alles Gute zum Valentinstag nachtr�glich." Die beiden jungen M�nner waren als Kinderschauspieler in Hollywood erfolgreich und geh�ren derzeit zu den aufsteigenden Stars in der US-Filmindustrie: Der in Kentucky geborene Heizer wirkt bereits seit 15 Jahren in mehreren amerikanischen Serien und Filmen mit. 2018 war er einer der Hauptdarsteller von "Love, Simon", der ersten breit vermarkteten schwulen Kino-Romanze (bear-magazine.com berichtete). Besonders bekannt ist er als einer der Hauptdarsteller der umstrittenen Netflix-Serie "Tote M�dchen l�gen nicht", von der bislang drei Staffeln und 39 Folgen gezeigt worden sind. Heizer spielt darin den heterosexuellen Highschool-Sch�ler Alex Standall. Jessup ist insbesondere f�r seine Rollen in der 49-teiligen amerikanischen Science-Fiction-Serie "Falling Skies" (2011-2015) bekannt. Er spielte au�erdem in der hochgelobten US-Krimireihe "American Crime" mit. Zuletzt machte er auch erste Schritte als Drehbuchautor und Regisseur. 2015 war er au�erdem Hauptdarsteller im kanadischen Film "Closet Monster" zu sehen, der beim Toronto International Film Festival den Preis als "Best Canadian Film" erhielt. Darin spielte er die Rolle eines jungen schwulen Mannes, der an seiner internalisierten Homophobie leidet. Sein Coming-out hatte er aber erst im Juni 2019 – damals schrieb er, dass er sich sch�me, erst so sp�t in der �ffentlichkeit zu seiner sexuellen Orientierung zu stehen. Seine Homosexualit�t �ber so viele Jahre zu verstecken, sei ein "erm�dendes Spiel" gewesen, so Jessup (bear-magazine.com berichtete). (dk)

Coming out – connor jessup identifies as gay

I knew I was gay when I was thirteen, but I hid it for years. I folded it and slipped it under the rest of my emotional clutter. Not worth the hassle. No one will care anyway.

A day after his 25th birthday, Connor Jessup came out to the world as a proud gay man who was not going to hide his sexuality anymore. In a lengthy post on Instagram, the actor opened up to his fans and also linked the post on his twitter page. Thousands of fans were happy for the actor and shared their own stories, also congratulated Connor for what he said.

Connor Jessup started by saying he knew he was gay since he was 13 years old, and it was just something he shoved deep inside himself, thinking no one was entitled to know his sexuality. He also said the whole thing was not about acceptance because his parents were liberals, and coming out would not have been a big deal.

But the thing is the actor himself was not comfortable with his sexual orientation and in his fear, Connor hid for so long. “Queerness is a solution. It’s a promise against cliche and solipsism and blandness; it’s a tilted head and an open window. I value more every day the people, movies, books, and music that open me to it. If you’re gay, bi, trans, two-spirit, or questioning, if you’re confused, if you’re in pain or you feel you’re alone, if you aren’t or you don’t: You make the world more surprising and bearable. To all the queers, deviants, misfits, and lovers in my life: I love you. I love you. Happy Pride!” Connor ended his post.

Connor jessup has publicly come out as gay.

The Canadian actor, famous for roles in TV shows American Crime and Falling Skies, has opened up about his sexuality in an Instagram post, where he explained that he’s been out privately for a long time, but now wanted to share it with the world.

“I knew I was gay when I was thirteen, but I hid it for years,” he wrote.

“I folded it and slipped it under the rest of my emotional clutter. Not worth the hassle. No one will care anyway. If I can just keep making it smaller, smaller, smaller…. My shame took the form of a shrug, but it was shame.

“I’m a white, cis man from an upper-middle class liberal family. Acceptance was never a question. But still, suspended in all this privilege, I balked. It took me years. It’s ongoing. I’m saying this now because I have conspicuously not said it before.”

Connor then addressed the gay roles he’s previously played, including Oscar in 2015 drama Closet Monster, and said he now finds it “embarrassing” that he used to talk about them as though they were separate from his own identity.

“Most painfully, I’ve talked about the gay characters I’ve played from a neutral, almost anthropological distance, as if they were separate from me. These evasions are bizarre and embarrassing to me now, but at the time they were natural,” he added.

“Discretion was default, and it seemed benign. It would be presumptuous to assume anyone would care, yeah? And anyway, why should I have to say anything? What right do strangers have to the intimate details of my life?

“These and other background whispers – new, softer forms of the same voices from when I was thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…. Shame can come heavy and loud, but it can come quiet too; it can take cover behind comfort and convenience. But it’s always violent. For me, this discretion has become airless.

“I don’t want to censor – consciously or not – the ways I talk, sit, laugh, or dress, the stories I tell, the jokes I make, my points of reference and connection. I don’t want to be complicit, even peripherally, in the idea that being gay is a problem to be solved or hushed.

“I’m grateful to be gay. Queerness is a solution. It’s a promise against cliche and solipsism and blandness; it’s a tilted head and an open window. I value more everyday the people, movies, books, and music that open me to it.
