- Bridgerton 3: Benedict Bridgerton First Look(2023) + Latest News
Benedict Bridgerton could change everything we know about our favorite regency family. Will Benedict Bridgerton be gay or bisexual? Will we be introduced to his love interests-possibly more than one? Bridgerton season 3 will skip over Benedict’s love story to focus on Colin and Penelope, but that doesn’t mean Benedict will be forgotten in this upcoming season. We could get a glimpse into his romance in season three and maybe the Bridgerton creators will surprise the fans once Benedict gets his central romance.
The third Bridgerton novel, An Offer from a Gentleman follows Benedict Bridgerton as he falls in love with Sophie Beckett, a Cinderella-inspired character he met at a masquerade ball. This book-and its central romance-is a fan favorite

Bisexual Benedict who still ends up with Sophie is my favorite option. A bisexual is still bisexual even if they end up with a partner of the opposite gender, that is not queerbating in any way, and those who think that way are probably biphobic. The show wouldn't be in any wrong. The show has also done an amazing job exploring and making us fall in love with the character's journey and development, so I would love to see this play out ljdfbgfd
It would work. Specially when at the time it was kept behind locked doors.....I'm not sure if the law book was thrown at them at the time or more in Victoria era when they were started beening procued....
Kinda knew Benedict swang both ways his art Guy has a wife doesnt he? So its ok if Benedict is bi.
People will always be upset if there isn't an lgbtq character who doesn't break the mold and end up with their counter-part, but this one could satisfy more. I'm sure people will say it's a cop-out for him to end up with a girl, but it's literally a period piece and it would be so beyond taboo. Plus, it's based on a book (mostly). I honestly think it's better to keep him as an ally and then give light to characters who are queer rather than make him bi for the sake of having a main character be bi. Seeing how Benedict has flirted and been promiscuous with women and then shocked but then accepting of Granville and Wetherby does not mean he will suddenly be bi. I feel like characters less explored like Francesca (who kept disappearing for 2 seasons and has now been recast so it's perfect time to start developing her character!!) Would be perfect and wouldn't feel like a cop-out or after thought. Plus the whole idea of Boston Marriages - which I know were from the late 19th/early 20th century and we're looking at the early 19th century, but they could be the early days - the first to partake you know? Maybe I'm reading too much into this lol.
@@lydiacongdon8135 Totally! Like, yes, I would prefer if Benedict was bi, and still ended with Sophie, but having a completely new character to give us that lgbtq+ representation is also very welcoming!
And yes, our dear Francesca, let's hope this season 3 will build her character for her upcoming story.
That comment was in reference to people who have already said the show was queer baiting by introducing Granville and having Benedict befriend him.
They not only need to start Benedict's story, they also need to start on Francesca's story as well, if they want to tell a story close to the one in her book. Both of their stories need a longer time to play out.
I’m hoping she marries John this season so we get to meet Michael, but it’s not about them yet
@@caitlynford3001 Or maybe we see John courting her since we don't see much of their relationship in the books.
I do hope we meet Sophie, since she and Benedict "met" two years before
I have been saying the same. Thank you!
Benedict is the hottest Bridgerton brother
also just gotta say just cuz hes sensitive and artistic why does that imply hes gay or bi? no hate cuz i support lgbtq but why can't a straight male be sensitive and artistic?
Just sexism.
Benedict's story has always been my favorite. I can't wait to see Benedict and Sophie's story.
I would love this scenario of having Sophie be a side character in season 3
I have read Benedict's story and have watched the first two seasons so many times. Benedict loves women. It would be unjust to his character to rewrite it. I have also read his story and there is no mention of the possibility of his character being bisexual. I will never understand why a man who is artistic and open with their emotions, etc has to be either bisexual or gay. If you read Benedict's story, no where does it mention this. I think it does the opposite to the character. I think the screen writer did a brilliant job demonstrating how one man is forced to hide his sexuality and love for a man during a time when it was forbidden. I think it does injustice to try to make a period of time more than what it was.
Just because you have friends who are gay/bi does not mean he can't be straight. Some who has no judgment is better than having to pick sides. The character is a breath of fresh air
He is not totally judgment and understanding.
I wholeheartedly agree @EdieAdams Well said and well written. 👏👏
I agree @EdieAdams👏🏽
I disagree mainly because they have already deviated from the books in so many regards. The books are just a basis but the show's universe is very different. I agree with the top comment on this post- he can be bisexual and still end up with Sophie.
Agree 100 percent. Rooting for B and Sofie. ☮️
Sorry, he’s not going to be gay/bi in the show. The creators confirmed the couples are going to be the same as their book counterparts. I agree with other commenters that just because he is friends with a gay man and is involved in the arts doesn’t mean he’s gay too. I think the show is making that clear - he has banged the highest number of named female characters on the show.
Just because he doesn’t end up with a guy doesn’t mean he can’t be bi
1. Ending up with a woman does not cancel out bisexuality lol.
2. He can sleep with a billion women every day- that does not cancel out bisexuality.
Part of me wished that Eloise ended up with Theo. Didn’t care for her book. Knew it was a long shot but dang. Lol
Agree with original posting. B has a beautiful soul and a happy person who enjoys his life. Fans read too much into labeling everything and everyone. Who cares. I hope the writers stick to the book for B season.
I love E and hope the writers stick with Theo. He looks good with E. But time will tell. Won’t speculate.
Love C for P. Excited for season three. ❤️☮️
Benedict is just high most of the time. 😅😅
Benedict deserves an entire season!
They need to do a mini Francesca romance where she meets her first husband and gets married, because they have to start setting up that storyline
I maintain it was a mistake to skip Benedict, it's too early for Penelope and Colin. Talking about time jump, Ben and Sophie were only a 2 year jump. Penelope and Colin take 10 YEARS to get together.
They should have done Benedict's season while also introducing / having Francesca go off and marry her first husband in the middle as part of the 2 year time jump or something.
I love Sophie but if they keep the exact same story but just make it same sex I'd be cool with that too. They already created this alternate reality in terms of race so I suppose they could equally pretend gay marriage was a thing as well in this timeline.
yeah the time skip of each of their story is so vastly different, so I was surprised it wasn't Benedict next especially I thought from the last ep, it looked to be Benedict next imo. I wonder how they're going to change the timeskips and add on to the scenes but not make it so entirely different
As a reader of the books I'd like the storylines to stay truthful to the written word. Whilst I accept it's fiction and therefore anything goes, I expect the storylines to have a semblance of truth to them. For me that means it's easy to accept colour-blind casting but not so with stories which pretend that homosexuality was never illegal.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 I'd be on board with colour blind casting too, though that isn't what they did here. They legit rewrote history and had an interracial couple as part of the monarchy. So imo it wouldn't be any different.
@@stephwiller9089 some historians believe she had black blood though she looked white.
For me the fact that homosexuality was illegal during that period makes it important that we acknowledge that as a way of seeing how we've grown as a species. We've a long way to go before we can rest on our laurels.
@@voulafisentzidis8830 That might be true but I'm not just talking about just the queen, they had the duke as well and this total acceptance / equality. The same argument could be made for that as well. It's not like homosexuals didn't exist back then. I'm not overly concerned about it, I'm just saying I'd be ok with the change if they really wanted to.
Why would gay even be an option when he clearly enjoys the company of women? Anything for clicks.
Edit: People in the comments trying to turn the show into a Twitter think-piece. Wow.
I love book three and would be really disappointed if they changed the story and it would feel forced and box ticking, not a genuine representation of bisexuality or homosexuality in the time period. More an attempt to shock and grab some attention
I agree 👍
Him being gay/bi will throw this show offf , he's not gay/bi .
The problem today is everyone wants to see their own representation of themselves everywhere . That’s not possible . This is why some movies and shows are failing today trying to please everyone. Yes include diversity but make it make sense make it genuine. Shonda is a genuis . This show is amazing and I hope they don’t get distracted by social media politics to change the show lol . The writers the designers the music directors are all phenomenal . Can’t wait for season 3.
You've said it all!
I can't wait to see Benedict and Sophie's story, it is my favorite (and Anthony + Kate). Please don't change anything, the story it's perfect as it is!
It’s too bad they didn’t incorporate the entire JQ Bridgerton world from the start. So many of her other romances included the Bridgertons in so many ways it would have given them time to let characters grow. It would have expanded the world of Queen’s work, would have included all the escapades at the Smythe-Smythe performances, and further cemented the role the Bridgerton’s played in the London season. Fictionally speaking of course.🤣
Adding more shows to each season would be lovely as well. Every season ends too soon.
I hope they just follow the books, that’s what we fell in love with! Why fix something that’s not broken! But I also wish they had followed the book order 🤷♀️
Don’t change Benedict. Keep his season as the book story. ❤️🎥
Benedict had a while spiel about admiring/loving a woman and then afterwards slept with another woman that we hadn't seen before, but some of you still refuse to believe that he in fact loves women. At the VERY least, he is bi, not gay. Being an artist and loving the arts doesn't make one gay. It also doesn't make one not gay; it literally just means a person is an artist and loves the arts. I seriously can't believe people are trying to make Sophie male. A problem some of you have is seeing romance in every male interaction. There's a difference between platonic interactions and romantic ones. Benedict looking at a male character or being friendly to another make doesn't make him gay.
Please stop making straight characters gay just to make them LGBTQ+ aware. If you want a gay character add them in, that is fine, great even. When you change an established character you either have to queerbate or change the storyline. No one wins.
Benedict has to fall in love with Sophie, what makes his story great is that unlike all the other Bridgertons Benedict knew instantly and it was absolute. by exploring his sexuality the only way it would make sense is if he searches for her again and can't find her, where he then moves into trying to recreate that moment.
Not sure where this bisexuality with Benedict is coming from. I saw him feeling a little uncomfortable about seeing another male with a male but ultimately accepting it. I also agree with the “acceptance theory” of Benedict accepting differences in a culture that was less than accepting. Sophie should be endgame for him. Benedict’s story is my favorite and I would be so upset if he ended up with someone other than Sophie, regardless of the journey (bisexual, non-binary, or other sexuality) he takes to get there.
Totally agree with you
Follow the book, please.
Continue with the way the book was written and leave it alone.
Benedict should like women only. He can be an artist and straight. Dont make him gay. He a charmer. And so handsome. Let him be prince with his Cinderella. I also like to see Eloise back with her printer...she needs a man who may be from the working class with Intelligence that could become rich by making it himself.
Yeah
If you read her story you would change your mind. Her love story is not to be messed with.
I don’t think they write him gay. For me It’s looked like the gay guy tried to figure it out the first time, when Benedict went to his house, but Benedict didn’t react any of his indication, so he let it go, and started to support him as an artis, and as a friend. And I like their friendship, he is a good man, I really rooting for him finding his true love, especially after the portrait scene in S1.
Why the hell does there have to be any “homosexuality, bisexual, gay, lesbian” have to be an issue and change the book storyline to include it!?!? I’m sooooo tired of it being crammed down my throat in every aspect of life, entertainment, social……yadda, yadda, yadda!! Good grief!
Honestly i think just because he is friends with a gay man doesn't not mean he has to be gay or bi for the sake of it also it will be great if we see him explore is artistic endeavours as a straight man don't make him a stereotype
Please keep the show close to the book. I fell in love with Sophie and Benedict.
Como se não bastasse o que já fizeram com a segunda temporada!
I agree with some if the comments of introducing Sophie somehow in this season, even in a small roll, although it would have been better to stick with the timeline. I was so excited in season 2 where they introduced Sir Phillip, even though it took me a minute to realize who he was.
What I like about Brigerton is the period romance, if you want to explore someone's sexuality I don't see it wrong but Benedict is not the right man, it would change many things and would rather give the series a rather advertising aspect. If you want to add a new one I support it but please let's stick a little more to the books, this is going from an adaptation to a fanfic. Plus it's too early for colin and penelope. What happened to Francesca and the 10 years it takes for these two to get together? Also that because a man is artistic and sensitive does not mean that he is gay or bisexual, he simply likes the arts. ;-;
I think they should follow the books
I’m mad enough that Colin And Penelope has been rushed, for them to change another story! Penelope needed the ages that passed between the books because that’s what made her grown. I’m not watching season 3 just because of that, not being faithful to the books ruin the storyline
They should remember "go woke go broke". If its not in the book leave it alone. But if its in the book its fine...
What if they combined Benedict and Colin's love story together but mainly focused on Colin's? At least that's what I think.🤨
If i am not wrong the show is going to have five season and five siblings are old enough to have love story. I don't think they will include his romance in this book because he will get to be the main character in season 4 .
I honestly thought that if anyone was going to be gay or have a bisexual experience it would be Eloise.
But if it's Colin they don't have to make a big fuss about it. They could just make mention that he went back to one of those Granville orgies and his partner wasn't a woman. Perhaps it could just be something he admits to Eloise during one of their secret smoke talks one night. But there's nothing more to it, it was just something that happened and he doesn't have to label it or make a bid deal about it, if anyone would understand it would be her. Then they can move on to his story with Sophie... Whichever direction they want to go with it.
All that is too complex for most of us. Most of us are just looking to see a love story period. I hope Shondaland doesn’t veer off the script the books too much it’ll loose fans…..I wasn’t a fan of S2 casting of the Viscount’s love interest Anthony was so passionate in S1 that was lost in S2. Never finished watching S2 I tried but couldn’t get through it. Looking for a steamy, passionate, believable, LOVE MATCH…..
that is a very effective thumbnail clickbait right there
Not going to weigh in on potential sexual orientation shift. However one reason that makes sense to change story order is that Benedict's storyline requires advanced set up. He sees his love interest at a ball and becomes obsessed with her memory for the next year or so before they encounter each other again.
That's why they invented fan fiction! Benophie can exist onscreen, while fanfic explores other options. Win-win!
the author asked to keep the couples strictly inline with books so he is likely not going to be gay/bi
He should meet Sophie this year at a random ball. As he'll be looking for her for a long time before he finds her.
Maybe this post its gonna be the only in spanish 😅 Estoy de acuerdo con aquellos que dicen que es un estereotipo el que un hombre sea gay solo porque le guste el arte (o bisexual); Benedict no necesita ese estereotipo, la serie tampoco, porque se ha encargado de poner detalles que ni siquiera van acorde con la época de los libros (y aunque parezcan locas, son muy aceptables). Para la época no era aceptable una relación homo, tal como lo explica el amigo artista que debe ocultarlo con su matrimonio. Incluso él en alguna conversación le dijo a Benedict que no intentaría nada con él porque sabe que no es igual (en cuanto a gustos); perfectamente son amigos y está bien. También he leído que la autora pidió dejar las parejas tal cual, y muy probable signifique también dejar la esencia y psicología de los personajes intacta (como por ej. El duque tartamudo que tuvo que luchar contra eso y perdonar a su padre, Anthony casanova pero recatado al conocer a Kate, Colin relajado y el que da consejos necesarios).
Benedict isn’t gay in the book but he is open minded and there are many gays in the artist community. (Many of my male friends from
art school). I love the Cinderella story in Sophie’s and Benedict’s book and am looking forward to it. Next to Penelope’s story it’s one of my favourite. Who doesn’t love a Cinderella tale? I’m not sure I want my Prince Charming to be bisexual but wont fault anybody who would want to see him that way. And diversity does make us stronger. She recognizes he’s a talented artist long before his family does in the book so that change is interesting.
They better follow the books. Find books that have bi and gay characters.
I just want more high Benedict
Sorry, I am just waiting for Benedict’s story. I loved the books but the series Colin & Penelope are unrecognizable and unlikeable to me. Feel the same about Eloise, who is more like a jaded 35 yr old divorcee than the quirky teenager who grows into a woman with a mind of her own.
The lady in silver and Sophie cannot be separate people. It’s an integral part of their love story, that to Benedict it’s always been Sophie even before he knew who Sophie was.
I think they could rewrite Sophie as a man, as long as everything else about her is the same.
Honestly their story might even work better in the show if Sophie was a man, bc in the book Benedict is NOTHING like in the show. In the show they basically switched Benedict and Colin’s personality types from the books. Colin was the fun playful charming brother that everyone loved. And Benedict was also those things, but in a much more reserved way. He didn’t joke as much, he was much more serious (like Colin in the show. Still charming, but by no means carefree). And when he meets Sophie as Sophie he’s at a party, much like the ones Benedict in the show loves, and it’s important to setting up his character and his relationship with Sophie that it’s established that he hates those parties and tries to avoid them. Sophie never would have needed up with a man who loved those parties. So maybe having a Stephen character who is still very much the responsible and duty bound Sophie, but a little more care free, a little more adventurous bc he is a man and it’s more acceptable for him to be that way
I'm waiting for Penelope and Eloise's story
Pls, he straight, Lover woman don't change his character.
Só faltava isso pra acabar de vez com os Bridgertons! Que horror destruir uma linda estória de um livro tão perfeito!!
I'm not happy with them skipping over Benedict because it messed up the flow of the bridgerton story and Benedict is not gay ! Quit trying to make him that way I love the LGBTQ+ community but read a book floks
nooo... is my favorite book, please shonda don't ruined
Take this comment the way it’s intended, bc this is coming from someone who sees the gay in EVERYTHING. I love a gay love story, I ship gay pairings on shows I know will never happen. This is not coming from someone who says shit like “why do they have to make everything gay”. All that being said…
Where is this bi/gay Benedict idea coming from???? Yes in the first season he was friends with a gay man, and he, after being a touch uncomfortable bc of the society they live in, accepts this man for who he is and respects they way he lives his life. This is part of how they foreshadow his relationship with Sophie. That he’s less rigid about society standards, and is capable of just caring about a person regardless of how society tells them to feel/ behave….. but Benedict never shows any attraction to the man he’s friends with. Other than being mildly confused and wanting clarity on the situation, he shows no intrigue in pursuing a similar life style. If Benedict was gay or bi, we would have seen this in any of the sexual debauchery type scenes. We don’t. He’s always showing a preference for women. We don’t even see him look lustily at a man.
I’m not saying ppl can’t wish for outcomes, or ship whoever they want. As I said I am an avid shopper of gay relationships that will never be. But that’s not how ppl talk about Benedict. They don’t talk about it in a we wish this would happen way. They talk about it like it’s something the shows been setting up and it’s canon in the show that Benedict is confused and sexually intrigued by men and.. no it’s not. We have seen 0 evidence of this in the show and I’m so confused by these comments.
Am I wrong??? Like is there a scene I missed where he wistfully stared at another man? Or is all of this just based on he didn’t condemn a gay man so he must be gay/ bi himself??
Nah, as much as it will be interesting for Benedict to explore his sexuality, I love Sophie too much and they better be together!!
I want to know why they always show gays as having multiple partners. Just because someone is gay or bi doesn't mean they have multiple partners
I don’t want to sound mean, but I hope Benedict isn’t gay or bisexual. I mean, it would be too weird, he was flirting with women for the past 2 seasons and in the book be falls in love with Sophie. I mean I’m one of those fans because I find it funny that Benedict doesn’t know that the lady in Silver is Sophie, and I laugh at that. So they better not screw up Sophie’s character! I love her because she’s both Cinderella and has the same last name as Sam Beckett (from Quantum Leap). I want season 3 too follow the book. I mean, the past 2 seasons inspired me to reread the first 2 books again, and I want season 3 to inspire me to read the third one. So I hope that they don’t skip Benedict X Sophie. However if they do, well I would be sad, because Benedict x Sophie are my favorite couple. I feel like it he was gay or bisexual, it would ruin it for me.
Boy I wrote to much…😅😅😅😅
Benedict ending up with a man is weird BECAUSE... and hear me out ...being gay was illegal in that era. That said I would love to have him be in a love triangle but both male characters saying that it's too risky to be together. Benedict would end up with his book-love-interest but his sexuality could be explored.
I hope Benedict…….chooses me. That’s what I hope. 😳😂
Too many tweets from twits.
Ughhh do not make someone non-binary. That concept and social construct did not exist. I like the fantastical, historically inaccurate elements in Bridgerton, but making someone non-binary just breaks the facade. No one will believe that this is a regency show anymore. It will just be pandering to those who demand queer content for the sake of having it. They've done great so far at keeping thinks engaging, still following the general path of the books, and allowing a window into what it could be like to have been gay during that time. Sexual orientation is one thing, but gender amalgamation or decentralization just would not be a topic in the early 19th century. I would so rather they explore a "Boston Marriage" archetype with Francesca or even explore asexuality - though I doubt that would work in the thirst department for this series.
All for bisexual Benedict ending up with Sophie. That wouldn't be queerbaiting unless the show just suggest he's bisexual instead of explicitly writing it into his arc.
I don't care if they make him canon series bisexual or even have some little thing with a guy. He just needs to be end game with Sophie. People who will scream queerbaiting can go continue screaming on their own. Bisexuality ending up with opposite sex is not queerbait.
Why the hell would they change the book adaptation by making her a male... what's the point of adaptations. There's other movies/shows where they have representation, but why do you want to rewrite and change everything for absolutely personal reasons.
I'd like to see Benedict explore his bisexuality in season 3, like we saw Eloise do her thing in season 2. He can still end up with Sophie as endgame.
did everyone forgot that there was a sophie introduced in season 2???
@@allisoncoffey1137 Where? Yikes I missed it!
Benedict is not a gay or bisexual. Not in any of these books. He does sympothize with his artist mentor and understands his plyte in the ton. But no my benny is not gay or bi.
So I went and read the books and Benedict literally kidnaps Sophie? Like, without her consent? People find this romantic?? What's wrong with you?
WE DONT NEED THAT.
They need not to make him Bi or even Gay. They will loose a massive amount of their fan base and many will not return.
alot of the discourse could be solved with an exploration into polyamory, like keep the Sophie storyline but also give him a gay lover.
Noooooooooo...... Leave him to meeeeeeh
Being bisexual it’s fine and all that but I don’t think they need to make it all that. Remover he can’t end up with a man openly based on the time period for the same reason many where in the closet. Henry was in the closet and he kept quiet because it was bad open “society” and we know based on S1&2 their are different type of scandals through the the show but at the end they are still scandals and their family’s are frown upon. From Daphne having a intimate act with the duke, to Marina being unwed and pregnant to even Kate falling for her sisters future husband/ex. It’s not only about their sexuality because I don’t want to seem homophobic or something but if they change and let his character be openly/accepted gay the whole plots and conflicts that are not well seen based on the time period won’t make sense any more! The whole point of the show is to explore this time period realistically to what it was with a honey coat on top but not glazing over everything too! I feel they can make his character bi- and show that in the closet era aspect but it’s pushing it if they change his book love interest to a man just to inclusive which is unnecessary based on the time period and plus their are shows with well representation . I just feel if they make this one exsaption the whole show loses its point . Anthony could of married the opera singer(I forget her name) Penelope could just come out as lady featherington and be accepted by society despite of all she wrote Yk the whole plots before wouldn’t be as dramatic / important just because of this!
Quinn’s books seem to be nothing more than a guide of plot with this zany non traditional production series. I don’t allow myself to take the series seriously as any kind of historical recreation. It is a ROMP. A circus like soap opera that has nothing to do with how things actually were in the Regency Britain. It certainly is animated. Many times it is outrageous. I’m waiting to read that they had introduced space ships to the ending. Like Dynasty did. I lost interest after the first Season.
Why do you want to change the story? Why needed to be gay or bi this is not on the book please stop included gay everywhere benedict aint gay in the book so please common...
I'm all for Bi Benedict gosh I hope sooo much they do so! I think it would be more wrong if they make it only look like he is pining for a man while not actually exploring a gay relationship. Let them kiss, let Benedict confess his feelings for a man. Then make it somehow that he falls in love with Sophie (while maybe not killing of the male love interest) and it would be 100% realistic and also in the period more acceptable.
to tell the truth i didn't expect this discussion since I always saw (show-)Benedict as a awakening bisexual
Stick as close to the book as possible for the first representation of the book series. In a year or two, producers can come back introducing homosexuals and binaries. Both would draw a following.
Or, if you really want to draw an audience, just never come out with it. Leave the audience wondering. So far, the producers/director have done a wonderful job.
Yeah not for me don’t find it interesting I’ll just watch the next season.
What if Sophie was mtf? Maybe the masquerade is Sophie's first time going into public in a gown and having a night as her first time truly being herself. Then when the years go by, we find Sophie living her new life as a housemaid.
NO KEEP BENEDICT STRIAGHT ANF AND VERY HANDSOME. Please not gay.
I would actually love to see bisexual Ben who has a great, sweeping love with a man. Even if he ends up with Sophie, that's totally fine! Bisexuality doesn't disappear just because you marry someone. And they could use that to explore a new dimension of the real restrictions put on romance in a time so heavily romanticized, which is something the show has done really well so far. That juxtaposition of "I love you but we don't live in a time that allows us to live happily ever after" isn't what people want to see nowadays, but it was a lived reality for us for most of history. It was what I grew up thinking would be my reality. So I think there's definitely a way to tell that story that is sensitive, bittersweet, and respectful to rather than voyeuristic of queer people and our struggles.
Complete sidenote, but I cackled so hard for far too long when Benedict insulted Byron. OF COURSE Antony would gravitate to Byron. 🤣
Why Penelope 😭😭😭
It be a cool concept to see him get a wife, both bisexuals & move in with into a house with his boyfriend whose also married to a bi or les. 😅 Given that’s how some hide in plain sight back then.
Benedict has had many on screen dalliances with ladies of the ton. I hate the idea that they would choose to keep his sexuality hidden until now. It would come across as baiting. Also, if he had a romance with a man that we had seen throughout the first two seasons, it would have given Sophie a realistic contender for Benedict's affection. Fans of the show could have grown to love the LGBTQ+ suitor. Team Sophie vs Team Mystery Person. Kinda feel like they missed their shot. To do it now feels like an after thought.
Why dose there need to be lables, love doesn't have lables or boundrys. There is a character in Deep Space 9, who is a 'Trill' their species join with another species called 's symbieant' who called ' Dax ' is neiather male or female. Dosent take over the Trill but becomes one with the trill & the trill can access all the Symbants experiances as they live many life times. My point being the symbiant dosent prefer male or female its the person not the sex.
Bridgerton will have 2 more seasons. Season 3 will focus on Colin & Penelope. I think they'll make Eloise the main focus of Season 4. So, we're probably not getting Benedict as a main focus till S5???
Guck mal
Die Theorie könnte dich interessieren zur Show
As much as I love love love the idea of Benedict being gay, I really don't think a male love interest being endgame would be possible if they still wanted to stay in the era the show is set in. They would only be able to be together in private. I think that having him be bisexual and explore his sexuality but have him also fall in love with and end up with Sophie would be the best option. He can explore and make his choice, fans can have an LGBTQ+ character, and the story will have a more realistic (for that time period) ending.
also hes bi at best remember his romance with madame delacroix
how about exploring Pansexuality or sapiosexual. there is more than just gay, straight or bi options here.
Ngl I would love a non binary Sophie. I mean we could have a Sophie who struggles through womanhood and a lord in silver Sophie who expresses herself freely while disguise as a lord in order not to be shamed for being a lady on the inside when she feels too feminine to be a man and not feminine enough to be a woman.
I hate this so much. It shouldn’t even be a problem people are simply too worried about making the Gen Z audience upset nowadays. I say that as one of those members of the audience. They should just say fuck it and do whatever they want. I’m also a lesbian. It’s not queerbaiting if you give him a male love interest and have Sophie as endgame.
Why must any of this be taboo? Serious question?
I believe somehow he can be bisexual but I prefer him to be with the same sex to a least have a gay storyline
the time period bridgerton is set in theres no way he would end up in a gay romance. no hate i support lgbtq but back then it was unheard of
Im placing bets now that benedict ends up having a romance with the new lord they added to the cast.
Im just saying they hinted at the new lord being gay and i am here for it
Well cross dressing Sophie can also work right. First meet Sophie as woman in the masquerade and then meet her as a man and not knowing it's her and fighting with emotions and accept her as a man and later who reveals as the lady from masquerade will be GOOD.
Being Bisexual is exactly that. It's NOT being homosexual. Seriously I would love to see a bisexual character. When you're bi you might end up with a woman or a man but being with either doesn't make you gay or straight. That's the whole point. I really think that ppl who don't get this have a lack of empathy and aren't bi so they don't get it. Bisexuality is very misrepresented.
The Lady in Silver totally sounds like it could be a drag persona.
