Nicholas Galitzine, star of Prime Video’s Red, White & Royal Blue and Starz’s Mary & George recently told British GQ that felt “perhaps guilt” for playing some of his queer roles. Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott breaks down why he shouldn’t feel guilt for playing queer roles, but rather his publicity team should be ashamed for intentionally being vague about his heterosexuality because the game of ‘is he or isn’t he’ works better for their PR campaign at the expense of LGBTQ+ people.
