Kit Connor is an incredibly talanted actor and such an inspiring human being. We watched him play the role of a teenage boy questioning and exploring his sexuality, who needed time to figure himself out before coming out as anything
Kit made it clear several times that he did not want to label his sexuality, though he never denied being part of the queer community, which should’ve been enough on his behalf. And yet y’all pushed him over the edge of unwillingly outing himself publically, despite everything Heartstopper and Nick’s character taught us about the fear of coming out when you’re not ready. He deserves way better than this

When you call yourself a fan, and then the writer and creator are swearing at you...
Hopefully you can do some soul searching, realize that Ben is the character you have come to most resemble,
Or at the very least shut the fuck up and Leave Everyone Alone.
Most importantly, I pray that Kit Connor has a strong support system and can feel all the love around him.

there is so much anger in my body about the whole Kit Connor being forcefully outed scenario that I can barely put it into words. I feel so terrible for Kit and I wish all the people that caused this situation a very terrible rest of their year.
Normally I hate to “gatekeep” shit but like… y’all don’t deserve this show (or comics, or books, or art, or anything related to Heartstopper) and you can’t consider yourselves fans if you were at all involved in forcing Kit Connor to come out and getting that one horrible fucking hashtag trending on Twitter.

I’m still not okay
Remember Nick’s expression of joy and happiness when Tara and Darcy kissed at Harry’s party? That was a powerful scene, right? Two queer people being so happy when they felt like they “didn’t need to hide it so much” and were free to be themselves. Remember when Kit said in an interview how that was his genuine reaction, he wasn’t acting at that point?
Kit the person deserved that joy and happiness for himself. Kit deserved that feeling of freedom. Kit deserved better.
You all took that from him. And you’re still not happy.
Shame on you.

oliviapbells: This one is for Kit.
Olivia and I weren't originally planning to illustrate this scene from our Heartstopper AU. But after the heartbreaking harassment and outing that Kit went through, we wanted to do something, anything, to show our support. So here's an excerpt from our story, where our alternate universe Nick shares a glimpse of what it was like when his dad refused to see him for who he really is, on his own terms. It's just a little scene from a silly little story, but... well, I guess it's our way of speaking into the void.
Like Charlie says in the show, bisexual people exist. They shouldn't have to somehow "prove" they're bi for people to be decent human beings and believe them.
Believe them because it's their sexuality, not yours. Why would you ever think you know their heart better than they do?
Besides, no one owes us details about their personal lives in the first place. Not even celebrities. God, especially celebrities! Can you imagine millions of total strangers obsessing over your personal life? Jesus. They're real people, same as us, just.. with better hair. Leave them ALONE, ffs.
And when someone is actually brave enough to share their heart and reveal who they are, even if it's just a glimpse, even if they don't want to label it, even if it isn't how we imagine them to be... our only, ONLY job... is to shut up, and listen.
You tried to tell us.
So many times.
We're sorry people didn't listen.
We love you, Kit.

i rarely post but i have to say this:
fuck anyone who disrespected kit connor. absolutely disgusting and vile to do that to an 18 year old. i genuinely cannot believe people decided to come into social media and harass a fucking kid. i have no words for this atrocity. he deserves to come out on his terms and not because he wanted to stop accusing him of queerbaiting. absolutely sickening.

Kit connor was not and is not queer-bating, queer-bating is not a thing real life people can do.
not sure why you think he would do that.

To everyone that forced Kit Connor to come out:
FUCK YOU VERY MUCH
It's not okay to force someone to come out.
It's not okay to violate someone's privacy just because you are a fucking piece of shit think an actor can't do his job and have a life outside of it.
You think a person can't play a character because of their sexuality, do you also think black haired people can't play a blonde character, or viceversa???
It's his freaking life, you have no right to demand to know about it.
Thanks for reading. :)
