I knew I was queer 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.

Connor Jessup & Sebastian Croft: are they fucking?
Since our former "Heartstopper" stans have thankfully departed, I'm hoping I can get an actual answer to this ask. It was VERY obvious that Connor had a massive love interest on Bash when he was still dating Joe Locke, and I guess they met via some sort of "gay Netflix actor group chat" or something – all before "Heartstopper" even premiered.

Connor's still in Toronto, but has flown to London at LEAST three times this year to "hang" with Bash.
Am I missing something here? Who on Land flies to the UK three times in a single year just to "hang out with a friend," particularly if they're not wealthy? (And Connor hasn't had a paying job since "Locke & Key" ended several years ago.) Are they fucking on the DL like Bash & Joe were?
Connor's now a geriatric gay (he turned 30 this year), but seems to hang out exclusively with twinks under 22. I'm not sure what's sadder: him flying 3,000 miles just to get some ass, despite living in one of the most gay-friendly cities in the wor
