It's my home, and my only closest thing to comfort

Agreed, and it speaks to every generation of LGBTQ+ who see some of their experiences mirrored in the series and who wish that the positive outcomes could have been experienced by them years and decades ago. My husband and I, both in our late 50s, teared up at Nick’s coming out to his Mum. When we were that age back in the early 1980s, that was NEVER an option, especially with the AIDS crisis erupting throughout the community. We both wish we could have experienced that same support as Nick and Charlie received from their families and we wish we’d both had a sister like Tori for sibling support. We never become immersed in entertainment programming to anything close to this degree, but Heartstopper touches a very raw nerve in both of us in a thoroughly positive way. Thank you!

@@JosephFerreiraJr i just love how touching the series is. thank u for sharing your experience cause there are definitely things that i should understand from the past, and also how different the support of things are today compared to nearly 30 years ago.

No it isn't

@@agoodflaw1200 if ur gonna hate then leave

Heartstopper is my comfort show when the world gets too dark. I just watch it again and again!

Stop calling gay people queer. thx

I honestly haven’t been paying attention to any news or drama or anything like that this whole year, can someone give me some updates or a summary of things thatve happened? (Specifically towards the lgbt community)

@@OwibiIn the U.S many red (conservative) states are attempting and being successful at either blocking bills that help the lgbtq+ community, enacting ones that HARM the lgbtq community, and this extends to many minority groups. Florida is probably the worst of it at the moment where they are attempting to imprison parents who allow their child to get gender affirming care :/ + so much more including the “don’t say gay” bill

Why what's been so hard for you

👏👏

I honestly don’t think they’re doing it JUST for promotion. Nearly (not all) the entire cast is LGBTQIA+, and Joe and Kit literally just turned 18 during/after filming season 1 so going to Pride (London particularly) was both personal and professional. But I get what you’re saying. It would suck if they were forced by studios to only participate to promote the show. But what I’ve seen on other TikTok an YT shorts… looks like they’re going primarily for themselves!!

@@galaxylucia1898 Yes exactly and also Joe and kit both are part of the community so I don't think they would be forced and other cast members do look happy so they must have enjoyed themselves

Love

Hogs all the attention. No one cares about this person, who plays a minor character.

FRRRR

2 days now, i’m rewatching season 1 so much 😭

ITS OUT NOW!!!

same here ❤

Wasn't it last year??well it was the best thing anyways 😁

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Я тоже рыдала на этом моменте, как жаль что для некоторых людей даже сейчас рассказать родителям о себе это не вариант😢

How exactly does Heartstopper speak to every generation of + people?

@@jasonthewatchmansson8873 I have current and former students from the past 30+ years of teaching who have become ardent fans because they see the show as both representing their own hopes (supportive families and networks of friends and schoolmates) and real experiences (being outed against their will, coming out and all of the challenges that presented to them, the bullies - of course - ). The show presents more seemingly supportive staff in the show than they experienced in real life where there were only a handful of either out or allied staff to support them. Older LGBTQ+ friends and retired colleagues (the Stonewall generation) who thought the show was just for young people have binge-watched and started talking about their own journeys and how they wished they’d had a more welcoming environment, keeping in mind their reference point includes having LGBTQ+ seen back in the ‘70s and earlier as a mental disorder and even criminal behaviour and talk about how what they experienced made it possible for this representation to take place in mainstream media. It’s unique in that I can have the exact same type of conversation with a high school teenager as I can with an 80+ retiree about how the show effects them. That’s never happened in my experience to this degree…

@@JosephFerreiraJr I agree with you that Heartstopper is a great show for LGB people from all generations. I was asking you about your claim that the show "speaks to every generation" of + people.

Good for you! How’d she react?

sweet! how did it go? (if you want to share) ❤

@@kaimik137 she got confused at first, then she said you watch content like this and that’s why your mentality has changed, but then i told her that i watched it because i was always like this, i am the one who chose to watch it because i saw myself there in that story and i felt recognised for the first time, later that night everything got normal, the next morning she was as she was before, don’t expect that our mothers will react like western moms, she accepted it and moved on☺️

@@Karansharmaheyitsme i'm glad it went well!!

so glad it helped and I'm so glad she accepted you as you are 🎉❤

she looks stunning, is taller than almost anyone else in the cast, counts down the numbers for the photoshoot and addresses the crowd at pride. plus can do all this all day long in these ridiculous high heel shoes, the mini skirt and that atrocious white shoulder gown made of chemical fabrics

This is a uk series so they don’t have the same payment trouble

Yes! She was great in Doctor Who too.

She's amazing ❤

I haven't really seen a gay drama in which HIV is discussed

your heart is not melting it’s STOPPING

at your age you ought to be able to openly carry one yourself. I might do so just for show so nobody gets the idea they can mess with me

@@embreis2257 i don’t own any guns bc of my own health and bc of the restrictions in my housing unit. on top of that, i don’t like guns.

I swear, I cried so hard watching the trailer, but on the other hand, I'm so fucking hyped
