Kit Connor was “forced” to come out publicly as bisexual after “Heartstopper” fans accused him of “queerbating.”

The Netflix star took to Twitter to address the speculations on his sexuality after he was spotted holding hands with Maia Reficco, his costar in the upcoming “A Cuban Girl’s Guide to Tea and Tomorrow.”

“back for a minute. i’m bi. congrats for forcing an 18 year old to out himself. i think some of you missed the point of the show. bye,” Connor — who plays a closeted rugby player on “Heartstopper” — tweeted on Monday.

The English actor had actually quit the social media platform one month ago after fans claimed he was “queerbating” (which means to hint at, but not confirm, a person’s sexuality to attract an LGBTQIA+ audience) for not publicly labeling his sexuality.

“this is a silly silly app. bit bored of it now, deleting twitter :),” he had tweeted at the time.


The actor, 18, had previously condemned people wondering what his sexuality was.
