Usually, I'd agree. But I saw the press releases saying producers cast the roles authentically. So, why is it acceptable to give this role to a straight actor?

You're the one saying he's straight.

 

[Askmark]

He’s wearing a vest! Can’t wait to see more from this shoot

I honestly though that was the straps off a back pack

It is a reasonable assumption to make; most men are straight.

 

[Lambdadelta]

Please can we stop discussing about his sexuality, let's limit ourselves to just post photos of him

Hey, everyone on this thread: How are your wives and girlfriends?

What is your point? A disproportionate number of gay men will read this thread. Not representative in any way of the male population as a whole.

"read" is subjective, I think about 85% of the people visiting the thread are looking only for pics / vids and could care less about anything else lol

Kit is an amazing unlabeled King

You don’t know people’s sexualities. Kit himself said he hasn’t defined his sexuality because…….. He’s 18. Shaming him or the show is just… weird and frankly kind of sad.

 

[burke31]

You don’t know people’s sexualities.

Indeed. But most men are heterosexual; therefore, it is a safe assumption.

Suppose it turns out that the producers gave a significant LGBTQ role to a straight actor. In that case, it contradicts the show's marketing as a breakthrough in queer representation because of authentic casting.

He isn't the only member of the cast ya know. They have other actors who fall under the lgbt umbrella. I don't think the show's goal was ever to cast only openly lgbt cast. So I don't see the issue here. Anyway this topic is tired as hell so I would this convo dies off asap lol

 

[Legondex]

Kit being unlabeled is pretty cool honestly, he is able get with whoever he wants

I don't think that's what unlabeled means, but who cares at this point

The issue would be they cast a straight actor as the good-looking, sporty love interest instead of an authentic LGBTQ actor. Why is that acceptable in this instance but not with a trans character?

You still haven't answered the question on the other page.

How do you know that he is straight?

The role is him questioning his sexuality in this season. How do you know that's not authentic?

Let me head on over to the Jonathan Bailey (Brighton) thread and be messy by saying “The issue would be they cast a gay actor as the good-looking, sporty love interest instead of authentic heterosexual actor. Why is this acceptable in this instance but not with a trans character?”

 

[burke31]

Most men are. He has not said otherwise.

The character is bisexual. We don't know if it is authentic or not because he won't say.
