Charlie Spring was outed to his entire school, possibly even to his family as well, at the age of 13/14; bullying ensued, many uncomfortable situations/conversations happened all whilst he wasn’t ready to talk about it. These kinds of things leave mental and emotional impacts on whomever is impacted, it may even change the way they behave as a result of people treating them differently, the bullying and the feel of not being safe.. With this being said, it baffles me how the same people who watched the show, loved it, loved its characters could find it within themselves and have the audacity to do the same to an actor portraying a character also in said show who is a part of the lgbtq+. Bullying an eighteen year old to the point where he ends up outing himself is just sickening and whoever did it needs to revaluate themselves. Not everyone has the same views and some people are still figuring it out, just not in the same way you are. The same could be said about Caitlyn Jenner, who used the wrong pronouns when referring to a gorgeous transexual woman just for not having yet gone through the process of gender reassignments. Not everyone has the resources and incomes a very wealthy person has, and it’s both sad and pathetic that you don’t respect other transgenders for not having surgery done immediately and/or are still trying to figure it out, maybe even come out. I understand people have different opinions, different views. Everyone is entitled to their own rights and opinions, yet there are times where your opinion isn’t needed and bashing/bullying/disrespecting someone for not having the same views is stupidity in its truest form.
Just grow up,
