    We're glad everyone loves these two as much as we do ❤️ We've been asking some of our favs these questions for Pride Month - including bicon Javicia Leslie, who plays the openly LGBTQ hero Batwoman (if you wanna check it out) 🏳️‍🌈

    What Kit said about labels is so true. No one should feel they have to label themselves, it's whatever you're comfortable with is what counts.

      I agree 100% not talking about Kit here but if a singer/actor is 100% straight, they know they are not attracted to the same sex despite of that they are using non labels then it’s problematic. Because they don’t have to go through the same discrimination that we have to go thru. I’m Bisexual male in the closet, only told 2 of my friends and one of them doesn’t even talk to me anymore. And if I tell my family, I’m sure I’m gonna loose most of them. So if someone that’s sure of their sexuality as straight then they shouldn’t use non labels. Not talking about Kit here, but there are singers/actors that do that.

      @@joshuaramirez3440 I completely agree with you. To me when a person or actor etc uses non labels, I would automatically think they are not straight probably curious, bi curious, gay, lesbian etc. And if they are straight and still use non labels then like you said it’s extremely problematic. Hope you get to come out to someone that will be more accepting, don’t worry about the people like your friend.

    The impact that this show puts onto people is just phenomenal. Everyone was perfectly cast, I think allowing people across the age spectrum part of the LGBTQIA community deserve to have that safe space and Heartstopper provides that space allowing subjects like this to be seen in such a wholesome and positive way and its just amazing ❤️ Also, Happy Pride Month everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

      @@roncaron8939 - yes, you’re right. ‘It’s A Sin’ was nominated for loads of awards, but received none. That was this year for shows that were released in 2021. ‘It’s A Sin’ was first shown on Channel 4 in the UK on the 22nd of January, 2021. It was nominated in about 6 categories I do believe, but it never won any of those categories.

    Labels are sort of one thing but if anyone is just uncomfortable sharing their sexuality or coming out of the closet then it is ABSOLUTELY OKAY.
    Don’t pressure yourselves thinking that you HAVE to “come out” or HAVE to “label” yourselves to people IF YOU DON’T WANT TO.
    Everyone’s sexuality should NOT feel like it’s a trophy, it’s just part of Who You Are.
    Anyone’s sexuality should NOT change who they are 🤗
