You can love your friends aswell guys

[@musicmirj]

​@@sasaji7822 Huh? I think OP knows that the "husband" was a joke. OP said Kit loves Will, and i'm pretty sure that was meant in a way of those two being friends. No one said they were in love, you're making those assumptions all by yourself. As a bisexual person, I can tell you that it's horrible to have people constantly assume that you have crushes on everyone, so please stop it. And that goes to you, not the original commenter, because you made that assumption, not them. Also please don't ever reason anything with "he was new to being bisexual" because firstly, it's really inappropriate to make assumptions about someone's feelings and reasons for them, and secondly, we've been bisexual for our entire lives, nothing new about it. (And by the way, you don't even know when Kit found out about his sexuality or if he's always known. It's not an information you have, and it's not one that you can ever assume. Don't assume people's journeys.)

I’m so grateful for a second season. Only downfall I hate is when it takes a year to make a season and I finished it in less than a day. But all the actors did a fantastic job! The chemistry and character development along with all the massive storylines were done so beautifully ❤️ It’s truly an inspiring show and it feels much more realistic than most romantic dramas. And it’s nice to see the show embrace all types of sexualities,particularly Bi and Asexual because we rarely hear anyone talk about it that much and they are just as important. I can’t wait for the third season and I’m excited to spend more time with these amazing actors and their characters.
