On the LGBTQ+ actors versus straight, I go back to Alex's speech, that every queer person has the right to decide when to come out on their own terms or if to come out at all. Too much focus on insisting that LGBTQ+ actors play LGBTQ+ roles, means that closeted LGBTQ+ performers must out themselves to get a job. That goes 100% against the message of this movie. It's not anybody's business whether Taylor and Nicholas are LGBTQ+ or not. Besides that, people's view of their own sexuality sometimes changes as they get older. When I was Nicholas' age, I was sure I was totally straight, yet now, decades later, I realizes Demisexual is a more accurate description of my sexuality. I don't know if you've watched "Heartstopper," but one of the actors came out as bi only because he got tired of fans badgering him to say what his sexuality is. That's not okay. My niece was pressured by her father to confess her sexuality, then he outed her to her mom before she could tell her mom. My niece deserved better than that. We don't know Taylor and Nicholas' personal lives. They both may be straight, or one or both of them may be LGBTQ+ but for personal reasons don't want to share that part of their lives with the world. Why wouldn't they want to share?... maybe because of a family member or maybe because of possible negative impact on their careers, or maybe safety concerns, or it could be just as simple as being a private person about some aspects of their lives and maybe only telling such things to the people they really trust. We're not entitled to know. They did an amazing performance that impacted people in a positive way all around the world. "Red, White, and Royal Blue" was number 1 world-wide, even in countries where it's illegal to be gay. This movie made people feel accepted and even inspired them to come out. It also caused straight people to rethink their view of LGBTQ+ issues. That's amazing, and Taylor and Nicholas did that whether either of them is LGBTQ+ or not, and we should just be grateful that this movie exists because of them.
Although I agree with most of what you say here that any actor should be able to play both gay and straight roles regardless of their orientation and it's none of our business what their sexual orientations are and it's their decision to disclose that information or not and no one should be pressuring them and gay people aren't owed by them to disclose that simply because they're gay characters..What I do disagree with though is that sexual orientation can change. Sure some people might be in denial of it or closeted gay/ bisexual, but it's not something that just suddenly changes one day in adulthood. That's not how sexual orientation and preferences work. This Demi-sexual thing you mention doesn't really sound like a sexual orientation...more like you need an emotional connection, but if an emotional connect means you can be attracted to both sexes then you're bisexual. If it means an emotional connection but attraction only to the opposite sex, then you're still straight. the Monosexual people though are only sexually to one sex and they don't become attracted to the other sex. They did do a study on heterosexual, homosexual and bisexual men and women and arousal patterns and followed up with them a few years down the line to see if any of their sexualities had changed and if it reflect in their arousal patters. Only some of the bisexuals(mainly women) sexual identities had changed and yet they showed exactly the same arousal patterns. The change was only in their identity.
Sexual orientation in men is biological, inborn, fixed and unchangeable. Woman's sexuality tend to be more fluid. That's why paraphilias(unusual sexual interests) are more common in men. Research suggests that paraphilia is maybe akin to a sexual orientation. It's the same idea conceptually as being gay, it's someone's preference and it can't be changed and it's with them from a very early on. Sure society might make some closeted homosexuals hide the fact they are gay, but it won't change the fact they're gay or make them straight. Social conditioning cannot override and biology and the underlining preferences themselves.
Attraction is the most accurate representation of a person’s true sexual orientation because identity and behavior can be context-dependent. People may change the identity labels they use and who they have sex with but sexual attractions are stable over time. Sexual orientation is a pattern of desire, not of behaviour or sexual acts per se. It is not a simple act of will or a performance.Attraction can be based on a number of factors beyond vaginas and penises, including personality, common interests, and chemistry, and that we may be open to dating someone who has physical attributes, like hair and eye color, that don’t necessarily fit our usual type. But all of these characteristics are subsumed within an individual’s sexual preference for men, women, or both.
There is also a strong aversion aspect to male sexuality biologically. Studies show that show heterosexual men viewing men kissing each other and being intimate sparks the same brain centers for disgust that seeing rotting things does. This was found in men who were found to be less prejudice and pro gay people. Studies on male heterosexuality shows it likely involves, not just the existence of sexual attraction to the opposite sex, but also the active suppression of brain circuitry serving same-sex attraction(that gay men don't have).
The vast majority of scientific studies on mens sexuality, arousal patterns, pupil dilation, activity in the brains reacting to erotic visual stimuli show that they are much more inclined to be all or nothing.. meaning really into men and not into women(homosexual) or really into women and not into .men(heterosexual). Female sexuality is generally a lot more fluid and less discriminatory than males, and again this is a biological thing. It's hypothesized that males might have evolved to coordinate their sexual arousal and attraction indices more strongly than women because it aids them in building their sexual orientation towards relevant sexual targets. Men typically display significantly greater physiological responses to sexual stimuli depicting members of their preferred gender category and stated sexual orientation. These findings are in line with other research suggesting that some aspects of the neurological organization of male sexual arousal are independent of sexual orientation, and therefore expressed similarly in heterosexual and homosexual men Sexual orientation is an aspect of gender that emerges from the prenatal sexual differentiation of the brain. Whether a person ends up gay or straight depends in large part on how this process of biological differentiation goes forward, with the lead actors being genes, sex hormones and the brain systems that are influenced by them. The organisational effects of hormones on the brain prior to birth have permanent effects.
Neuroscientific studies have shown that the brains of lesbians are partially masculinized and gay mens partially feminized. Patterns of brain organisation appear similar between gay men and heterosexual women and between lesbian women and heterosexual men. Gay men appear, on average, more “female typical” in brain pattern responses and lesbian women are more “male typical”. Differences in brain organisation mean differences in psychology and study after study show differences in cognition between heterosexual and gay people. Gay mens brains are also structured like those of heterosexual females and lesbians structured similar to heterosexual mens. It's believed that gay men, during some point in fetal life, were exposed to unusually low levels of androgens, which allowed their hypothalamic circuits to develop in a female-typical direction. It's why some parts of their brains is similar to straight women. If testosterone levels during a critical prenatal period are high , the brain is organized in such a way that the person is predisposed to become typically masculine in a variety of gendered traits, including sexual attraction to females. If testosterone levels are low during that same time period, the brain is organized in such a way that the person is predisposed to become typically feminine in gendered traits, including sexual attraction to males. The association between sexual orientation and other gendered traits arises because all these traits differentiate under the influence of a common biological process-the sexual differentiation of the brain under the influence of sex hormones.
Some parts of their brains is similar to straight women. For example the sexually dimorphic nucleus in the medial preoptic area, known as the interstitial nucleus of the anterior hypothalamus number 3 (INAH3is about half the size in homosexual mens compared with the heterosexual mens, and the same size as females. There was marked differences in the left and right amygdalas of straight men and women and in gay men and lesbians, these characteristics were almost entirely sex-atypical; the findings in gay men resembled those of straight women, and the findings in lesbians resembled those of straight men. In straight men and lesbians, the amygdala fed its signals mainly into the sensorimotor cortex and the striatum, but in straight women and gay men, the amygdala’s connections feed into the anterior cingulate cortex and the subcallosum. In othet brain differences, some of these effects seem to be unique to sexual orientation, such as cortex cortical thickness in the orbitofrontal, cingulate cortex, precuneus, parietal cortex and left occipito-termporal cortex volumetric increase of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus and visual areas as well as the anatomy of the corpus callosum in gay men.
Several small-scale neuroimaging studies have also suggested cross-sex shifts in homosexual men and women in brain responses to putative sex-specific pheromonal compounds. There's also differences in brain activity in arousal patterns. MRI scans showed In straight men the right hemisphere was 2% larger than the left. In straight women, the two hemispheres were the same size. In gay men the two hemispheres were also the same size. In lesbians the right hemisphere was slightly larger than the left. Activity pattern in this region of the hypothalamus have been reported to differ between gay and straight men. A cell group called the suprachiasmatic nucleus was larger in gay men than in straight men. The suprachiasmatic nucleus is concerned with the regulation of circadian rhythms,. The size of this commissure is known to be larger in women than in men Heterosexual men exhibited more gray matter volumes in the thalamus, thalamic and in the cerebellum and premotor cortex than homosexual men.
Sexual orientation is associated with distinct changes in brain structure and has strong associations with areas primarily linked to processing and integrating incoming sensory, reward-related, and motor information. Gay men and lesbians can also have gender shifted occupational preferences and also in instrumentailty, empathy, expressivness, and aesthetic/technological interests. Gay men and lesbians are gender shifted in a variety of male favoring-visuospatial traits such as mental rotation, targeting, and navigation, as well as female-favouring tasks such as verbal fluency and object location memory. Many of these functions, particularly the spatial skills and the verbal skills reside in different sides of the brain and they call it cerebral asymmetry, the asymmetry in the way the brain is organized. This asymmetry is determined and organized around the middle of pregnancy and these correlate very highly with who you are sexually. Sexual orientation is something that is hardwired before birth.
I loved this movie and glad you watched it. Taylor and Nick have great chemistry. I heard there will be a sequel.
Taylor Zakhar Perez has my whole heart. He was so good in this movie as Alex and is such a kind, funny and overall good human being. I’m really looking forward to seeing him in more things in future!
I loved this movie, is a fairy tale of our times. The chemistry between Nick and Tay is amazing. And the most important thing is the respect and how they take care of the characters. I read the book after the film and I must assure they are the best Alex and Henry we could have..
Your reaction was great!
Love this movie I've seen it probably 10 times already and still can't get enough of it❤❤❤
I love that Stephen Fry (one of the most iconic gay men in the UK) is playing the King ♥️
And the actor who plays Prince Phillip also identifies as queer.
I’m so glad you watched this movie, it’s my guilty pleasure. I absolutely love it!
I am a straight old lady whose late brother was closeted gay. He lived his entire life as such and we only discovered the truth after he had died in 2009. I have always supported LBGTQ rights, lifestyle, etc. and view it as simply another valid way to live. However, both my brother and his BF had to keep their respective secrets due to their professions, extended families, conservative communities, etc. Today I am friends with my brother's ex-BF and he is happily retired and out of the closet. He is also dating a great guy! BTW: am in love with Nicholas G. as an actor and also as a great person. Sigh.....
I saw the trailer for this movie. Looked it up, read the book, fell in love with the book and now I love these boys.
The same! So good and the actors had such great chemistry.
I am so glad you got to watch this and share your reaction to this. I was born long before Stonewall and have seen the incremental steps of progress, each one seeming so incredible to have achieved it, but never never in my wildest dreams could I have even imagined a movie like this. No tragic ending. Characters that come out and are accepted in the straight world. Even the fact that only a few years ago, any actor playing a queer role would have thought long and hard about such a choice ruining their careers. In this movie, it was the opposite, of actors proud to be taking this step no matter what their orientation.
And the number of people outside the LGBT+ community who laugh and cry at the gay romance portrayed here.
Like so many who have fallen in love with this movie, I have long ago lost count of the number of times I have re-rewatched this and sought out every reference to it, like reactions like yours. This quickly became an obsession for me, in the nicest way, again how many other people have explained it.
I watched this movie when it came out, loved it so much I read the book. Book is even better. Such a cute story, can't wait for the sequel
SMASH SMASH SMASH!! Such a cute movie!
this movie made me buy the book. it is excelent, the movie is great on its own (not that book related as always but great anyways).
This movie and the book it’s based on have become a serious hyperfixation for me. I really love it. Love the characters and their chemistry. Looking forward to the sequel. They do touch on some real issues, and there is some angst, but I also love the escapist happily ever after. Sometimes that just feels so nice for a change.
Also, just to touch on the representation question, yes, Nick intensifies as straight and has been open about that. Taylor is not public about his sexuality or romantic life (although as you already found in just a few seconds those things tend to get leaked) however he talks a lot about how important stories like this are, what they mean to the queer community, and you can tell that playing this character who is bi and a PoC really mattered to him in terms of the impact it has had. Also fwiw, the director is an openly gay man and the writer of the book is NB, so there were definitely people in the community guiding this project.
On the LGBTQ+ actors versus straight, I go back to Alex's speech, that every queer person has the right to decide when to come out on their own terms or if to come out at all. Too much focus on insisting that LGBTQ+ actors play LGBTQ+ roles, means that closeted LGBTQ+ performers must out themselves to get a job. That goes 100% against the message of this movie.

My niece was pressured by her father to confess her sexuality, then he outed her to her mom before she could tell her mom. My niece deserved better than that. We don't know Taylor and Nicholas' personal lives. Yes, for public consumption, Nicholas says he's straight, and that might be accurate, but we don't know because we don't know his private thoughts, and he should have that privacy for himself. Nicholas and Taylor both may be straight, or one or both of them may be LGBTQ+ but for personal reasons don't want to share that part of their lives with the world. Why wouldn't they want to share?... maybe because of a family member(s) or maybe because of concerns about possible negative impact on their careers, or maybe safety concerns, or it could be just as simple as being a private person about some aspects of their lives and maybe only telling such things to the people they really trust.

My comfort movie. Seriously love the two leads. ❤️ 🤍 💙
Such a wholesome movie ❤
The lifts thing is kind of a little joke. In the book, Henry is considerably taller than Alex, but in real life, Taylor, who plays Alex is the taller one. They used this excuse to explain it away, which I find quite clever.
FWIW the character of Amy (she’s like the personal body guard/secret service for Alex the president’s son and helped arrange the meeting with him and Prince Harry) she is a trans woman in the book and the movie made sure to cast a trans woman to play that part 🫶
I love Taylor in this and he's so pretty
Bro, I didn't know you built like that before watching this based on the thumbnail😮
'Moonlight' from 2016 is my favorite movie of all time after the 1985 original ' The Color Purple' Please watch that for Pride Month❤ Great Reaction here. ❤❤❤
Love, Victor the US series has a latino family etc. issues with religion and such.
The sequel is coming so soon yayy!!
Perfect movie for Pride month 😊
It’s hard to find answers to whether TZP is gay or not. It’s highly speculated that he’s married to a man (I think you mentioned it), but he keeps it on the DL.
Aww awesome loves it ❤️🤍👑💙
As much as I love this film and (young Royals), it definitely shows that the people writing it are not experts on Monarchy.
In both RWRB and Young Royals I find the prince to be too dismissive of Monachy given they've been raised from birth to beleive in it.
Henry would never stand on a political stage with a recently elected president, they have to be politically neutral in any and everything.
Also the idea Henry couldn't dance and only knows ballroom throws me. All the men in the British royal family (and some of the women) will spend several years in the armed forces. So Henry would have a few years doing that and would have totally heard that kind of music
I think of this movie more as a fairy tale where certain rules of the normal world get set aside. Like having mice and birds in Disney's Cinderella sew her first gown. Right from the start of this movie, we see a wedding reception that apparently has no food except a towering cake set up on a higher platform and would be a nightmare to cut and serve. Yet Alex apparently of all the guests seems to have found a cookie to eat. And the waiter snaps a picture although he probably signed an iron-clad NDA.
I also think the director, Matthew Lopez was and is a perfectionist (he went to such great lengths to include references to the book and other details) and therefore chose to bypass details on the Monarchy for the sake of a better story.
This movie is not meant to be a documentary on the Crown but merely to use that as the background as much as possible.
With regard to Henry and military service, in the book he is taking a gap year after university and is resisting the pressure to either join the army or marry a woman (in the book his grandparent is Queen Mary who is extremely homophobic)
Listen to some interviews of Taylor aka the presidents son, he’s a great advocate for the queer community and queer movies. Like the Sag-Aftra event recently where he was with the actress who played Zahra, the character you loved most. Unlike the straight actor that plays the Prince (Nick Galitzine) who seems to be working hard to erase his queer movie past from his resume now that his career is taking off in Hollywood.
How can you say that about Nick? He hasn't done anything to suggest as such. I'm sick of people who call themselves fans & then want to say this shit. Ugh *eye roll* Was Mary & George not queer enough for you?! Ugh
Ah there you are.... was looking for this comment ROTFL.
🤣
I think that eventually the world will come to accept all gay people. Eventually. I hope.
Nicholas Galitzine ❤such a great actor
Also look at the UK and the original US version of Queer as Folk. Both of these series were groundbreaking at the time. These dealt with multiple issues and minority issues as well.
