Heartstopper star Kit Connor is calling for more bisexual representation in film and television.
After being forced to come out of the closet, 18-year-old actor Kit Connor has turned the tables and is using his voice to better amplify his call for an equal representation of the bisexual community on television and in films. During the Critics Choice Awards panel, the lead actor of Netflix's hit coming-of-age dramedy, Heartstopper, stated that the bisexual community has a "shockingly low amount of representation.

"Playing those kind of moments – it felt like the main arc of the character if that makes sense." He added:
Connor claimed earlier this year that online "queerbaiting" accusations and rumors about his sexuality had forced him to come out on his Twitter account, saying "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." And, despite the show's fans' blatant harassment, Conner's voice on the matter has only gotten stronger, making him the best bi representation of this generation.
