Bridgerton Gay (Benedict x Henry) | Switch It Up

- A fanvid of Henry and Benedict. I did this edit because I thought Henry and Benedict had a lot of chemistry in the show. Sad the show queerbaited as I thought Benedict was bisexual or a closeted gay.
There’s a lot of debates in the comments so just wanted to clear it up here. The show's promotional team queerbaited, which is a phenomenon used to describe when TV Shows tease major LGBT+ plot lines in promotional materials but largely avoid telling queer plot-lines in the show itself.
I hadn’t read the books so didn’t know any of the characters' sexualities. In the trailer, they include Benedict stumbling upon Henry having sex with another guy, and the look on Benedict's face seems intrigued, not disgusted. Because of the inclusion of the scene, a lot of people were really looking forward to the main character like Benedict being gay or bisexual. Instead in the show, the only gay character is Henry who is a minor secondary character and there is only a 5-second gay sex scene. This reinforces my point that to include the scene in the trailer is queerbaiting. As the Henry sex scene is not a huge part of the show’s storyline, it seems like the only reason they gave it a prominent place in the trailer was so that people would be intrigued by a queer sex scene and want more. Shondaland, the creator of Bridgerton, is known to include prominent gay couples in their shows so it's further misleading to include this scene in the trailer. Because of the trailer many people, including the magazine's Attitude, Pride and Out assumed there would be a main queer plotline (www.digitalspy....
During the episodes, there are several events misleadingly pointing to the fact Benedict is bisexual (he feels different to his siblings, he stares adoringly at Henry, him and Henry bant in a way that feels like romantic and sexual chemistry and he’s intrigued by this underground artistic queer scene). This means a lot of people (including me) were surprised when by the finale Benedict and Henry had not gotten together. This is upsetting to a lot of LGBT+ people who want to see representation and are misled about the show's contents. It would be nice if they included some main LGBT+ plotline in the same way they’ve expanded the diversity in other ways, even if it's not through the character Benedict. Just because it's the 17th century and it's conservative doesn't mean queer people did not exist. We've already seen Henry so clearly it's possible to show LGBT+ characters. I loved the show but my main issue is that they show queerbaited.

I was waiting the whole time for him to hook up with the art guy
Uhh same 😂😂
Same I literally just skipped to the end to see if it happened, raging that it didn’t 🤣
@@KaoruSan241 Yes!! I literally watched the show because of the little snippet of art guy screwing a dude in the trailer - I thought there'dbe a whole LGBT subplot. I'm so upset that I was "gay baited" 😭
Let's hope we'll get that in season 2, I have a feeling they knew they'd get a season 2 so they waited perhaps to make it a bigger storyline
Me either 😭
When I saw Eloise and Benedict interact I was like that's me and my brother, the gay siblings.
Eloise is straight season 3 or 4 is probably gonna be about her and Theo
@ghostyfries3658 I think she's bi, but she mostly likes boys
I’m straight but my gay radar went WOOOOOO when i saw Benedict
Same lamo
او يمكنك بالخزانه😏
you4 gaydar is so wrong, im so sad for u sis
benedict is 100% bi, idc what the show says
there's nothing the show can do to squash Benedict's blinding bi energy
@Anime Girl bi men can have a wife
@Anime Girl oh thanks for clearing it up that you’re someone who doesn’t know bisexuality exists 😂 now i know not to waste my time engaging
@Anime Girl can you repeat that anime girl, I can’t read stupid
@Anime Girl Why is everything so white and black to you? That’s not the way the world works. It’s been proven time and time again that human sexuality exists on a spectrum, 100% straight and 100% gay people are actually the least common.
my gay radar is working so well, Eloise and Benedict aren't straight there gay energy is so obvious, and idc about what the show says.
Right! They both have so much gay energy
@@ULTRAOutdoorsman nah just her vibes
Spoiler : Well in the book she marries a sad abusive boy 🙂
@@ALI-wy8yu WHAT????
@@whatthefuck9566 yeah I saw like a review about the problems in the book , and they said that they ruined her character by making her another men obsessed woman
bruh Benedict literally walked in and my gaydar went off so loud it could've woken the whole house up
I had a feeling too!! Lol
That the other guy was gay and Benedict was straight but non-judging bc he didnt gaf? Bc thats what the series shows lol
My friends and I definitely think Benedict is bi and that Eloise could be Ace or a Lesbian and I hope that that's explored in season 2 :) !!!!!
@Anime Girl woah......dude
@Anime Girl wtf!? What's your problem?
@@heroic_antagonist759 don't waste your time, this person is very homophobic 🙄
@@zlatakashcheeva5309 yea I figured. Read some of the replies on other comments and this bigot was in most of them
@Anime Girl tf. you realize the shows are much different from the books so it can happen lol
benedict is 100% bi, and I love sophies and his story. So maybe next season before they introduce Sophie (if they do) they can have him hook up with a guy next season or it can turn into something, for benedict to have a romantic interested next season (and we can have a forbidden love troupe next season)
What if for the series they switched Sophie for a guy? Like Cinderella but make it gay! Instead of Benedict and sophia, it’s Benedict and Solomon or something.
@@richardchiren2425 it would not work. Remember it’s the 1800s. In the show, women are cast aside in society from not marrying young enough. For Benedict, the second son of a higher class family to openly be gay is probably considered social suicide by 1800s standards. Hopefully they’ll explore it, like he has a secret relationship/hookup (would be interesting) but ultimately it’s not gonna work. Plus the book lovers will riot
If he was bi he would've had bi actions. Please don't mix ally's with non-straight people jus bc they dont care about our sexuality
I totally love the art guy. I hope we see more of him next season and hope we get to see him train Benedict in matters of the arts! Maybe with his lovely wife too haha! For real, if Im the art guy’s wife I will be so supportive of him and his lover while I enjoy the status of being high in society. Think about Margaery Tyrell being married to Renly Baratheon. 😂 This is such a fun edit! Thank you!
Thanks so much!!
I haven't read the books (yet). So, I was expecting him to (at least) kiss Henry...I was so disappointed that he didn't.
Toxic delulu
I FUCKING KNEW IT I HAD A FEELING SINCE EPISODE 1
U said ‘I will give the background characters’ fan base what they deserve’ and I respect that a long
I don't care about the books XD writers, make him at least bi.
@Anime Girl the thing is as far as i know, the character in the book is straight, so making him a bi character it wouldn't change that much his arc when it comes, but give more Range to the character, and have more LGBT presence in the series, and he was for me the one who did gave more vibes towards it.
@Anime Girl That would be a great thing, we need more bi representation. Also you do know that every adaptation takes liberties with characters right?
@Anime Girl books and movies are completely different. and lgbtq people are not as represented as straight people. that’s the difference. just like if there’s a movie where they make the main character from black to white. there isn’t much racial representation to begin with so changing the character’s race wouldn’t be helping
@Anime Girl all of youre arguments are so contradicting. you say that lgbtq people are trying to make everyone straight and not let straight people have anything. and then you say this? really. making one person gay isn’t going to dramatically change anything oh my gosh lmao. and yes there are other films with gay people in them, so what’s the problem with another gay person being in this one? if you’re so pressed over that, there are plenty of movies with straight people so go watch that instead
@Anime Girl you call us immature or childish and then say shit like this. let people love who tf they wanna love. just chill tf out and stopped getting so upset over it.
Finished season 2, disappointed that they still want us to believe he's straight 💀
And may I ad, that I eill never buy Eloise is sraight🏳️🌈
Benedict was clearly crushing Granville
@@Jojo-wv5sv she isn’t straight.
The hell that season 3 was
I've just started the show and man I'm disappointed to find out there isn't going to be a gay ship :(
We never know what season 2 has in store for us 😋😏
the way the books are written is that each tells a story of one Bridgerton sibling. So if they follow the book order Benedict's storyline will come in season 3.
@@flolikeyou6053 sadly season 2 hunkered down on the heteronormativity.
@@jjh2456 yep …. They really got out of their way to tell us „ALL THOSE ARE STRAIGHT“
WELL...!!! no matter how much people hate seasom 3... theres nothing like the gays i guess
I was like so Netflix isn’t Netflix without that one token gay character then when we met the art guy I was like oopp I found them
I mean, I just need any lgtb+ character that gets a proper storyline :( and Benedict is clearly giving the signs of it :(
@Tired of hypocritical people mmmm... ok? I already did
@Tired of hypocritical people It is always good to have representation, there is barely a show that has some diversity in general and I am happy that Bridgertone is starting it.
@@emmacalixtro3129 I have to agree with Anime Girl. So many shows out there have gay characters. Just look at Netflix produced shows.
@@NinaC That doesn’t mean there can’t be more tf? Think of how many shows have straight characters lmao
@Anime Girl “freaks”? Just say you’re homophobic and go
Lady Danbury surely is a matchmaker first Simon and Daphne and for sure is Benedict and Henry
Good god 😍 Benedict is so cute and so bisexual (or even gay but in the closet). Man I wish they did more with it. Having him hook up with a woman made the whole gay storyline (if you can call it a storyline) pointless. Such a shame. I hope they fix it next season and have him explore romance with a man.
Agreed!!! I need more gay
It WAS a shame; but a powerful reminder that this Bridgerton world is in the 1700s, not the 2020s.
Being gay or lesbian wasn’t even a concept back then that people were informed about, or was even part of the English language.
Seeing poor Eloise running around DEMANDING to be told how people actually got pregnant was really eye-opening.
If the conservative world kept everyone ignorant, & the women even MORE ignorant than men, then the conservative world could keep what they wanted: for nothing to change or evolve.
@@TheGav67 I still have hope they will go the bisexual route with benedict next season though. I would love it. If they don't I might quit the show. I mean, as a gay man I'm not that interested in 8 straight romances full of straight sex
@@TheGav67 I really agree with you that the concept of being gay or lesbian didn't exist as a specific identity and that it's nice how Bridgerton shows the homophobia and conservativism of the 1700s. But also people in the 1700s did participate in gay sex and romance and I feel like it'd still be nice to have that represented for lgbt+ people watching
@@rutgerdejong1700 Uh what a pity you may have to leave it because in the third season Benedict is going to meet Shopie. I don't know if you knew but The Bridgertons are an adaptation of the books by the author Julia Quinn (they are eight and each one deals with each Bridgerton brother) and it has already been confirmed that the main couples are not going to touch, so maybe there is no such romance between Benedict and Henry Granville.
I mean he have to end up with Sophie but before season 3 he can hook up with some guy, i am in.
I heard the last book has a gay character. Is there any hint to a relationship ? Also, when it comes to avon(publisher) romance novels... They tend to target just one main audience.
@@JesusGonzalez-pg9mp Haven't read Gregory's book. I only know that he got together with Lucy. But maybe?? Historical romance series need more lgbt characters, and MAIN characters.
@@ValeBarrientos exactly. Only author I know from avon that writes lgbtq books is Cat Sebastian. Have you read any of her books ?
@@JesusGonzalez-pg9mp No, really? Can you recommend me one of her books??
@@ValeBarrientos The Soldier's Scoundrel is really good. And they're historical fiction.
Thank you for editing this lmao love it
Thanks!!!
Oh, I love this sm
Aaahh thank you so much!!! I loved your Daphne and Simon edit as well
bridgerton had so much (diversity, feminism, what it meant to be a woman in 1813) that i can't really be mad at the lack of gay because it was 1813 so it makes sense that it was really obvious.
Yeah I super appreciate the show's diversity!!! I thought the inclusion of feminist dialogue and also including poc characters was brilliant. But since they showed Henry as gay it's clearly possible to show gay characters in the 18th century. They could've showed Benedict being bisexual but just being in the closet and having to be secretive. I think the issue is more around the promotional team including a misleading scene in the trailer of Benedict stumbling upon Henry having sex. Because of the trailer a lot of people expected a main character who is gay or bisexual, but Henry is only a minor secondary character and there is only a 5 second gay sex scene. I still loved the show but was sad they queer-baited in the trailer (I give a definition of queer-baiting in the description if you don't know what that is)
@Tired of hypocritical people name one show with no straight characters and i’ll agree with you
@Tired of hypocritical people you’re the one who mentioned straight people so i’m really not sure why you’re complaining? Also were not playing the victims? i’m so sorry that you want to be oppressed but until you’re thrown out your house for being straight or your parents try and “pray the straight away” you will not be a victim here. to answe your question the every TV show you named has straight characters, other people getting a show doesn’t take any away from you hun
@@e_elecc1752 Thank you !
@@e_elecc1752 Hey your replies are so amazing. Just commenting to say I hid Anime Girl from this channel so she won't be able to comment anymore since she's clearly a troll. I'm not going to delete her comments tho because I want to keep a record of people like you making great arguments and witty jokes against her insanely illogical, homophobic, right wing views
You cannot tell me Benedict is not at least Bisexual.
His face at 0:58 screams, "Wait, that's an option!?"
haha ikr
I have found the right ppl finally,,
At 0:56 you could his expression when he opened the door and saw the 2 guys going at it? He definitely felt something. :-)
Right! It looks curious and romantic
watching this again after season 2 can't stop me from wondering if we the audience have been played 😂😂 I thought they were giving us hints for a possible male love interest for Benedict starting season 2 and well guess not 😂😂
i eat that edit up for breakfast daily since it randomly catched my attention eight days ago...
wow thank you!
This was sublime, more pleaseeeee
Thank you!!!
I've been watching this show at a very slow pace, I have only watched 4 episodes. After seeing this, I'm activating warp speed 🤣
You already have to upload a video :D I adore these videos 🤪🏳️🌈 xDXD
(no se hablar muy bien inglés xD)
@@xdd0153 Thank you so much!!! I plan to upload a lot more edits now I'm on holidays!!
I'm not familiar with the book plot I just happen to watch the movie but I love their chemistry. Wishing them to be together would be much, it will only be another tragic gay story or not at all. So a hook up would do.
My gaydar went off when I saw benerdick and elosie and no one can change my mind
Why did i immediately think he was gay or at least bi.
He is though watch season 3. Lol
This is so funny in retrospect ✊🏻 this comment section won lol
Tbh I ship it and would be cool to change some stuff from the booķ aswell.
The first time that I saw Henry I already know that he was gay.
This is perfect. Thank you for this!
I wonder if they will go with the original story or switch it up?
Spoiler!!

Because where is Sophie gona be then? And the kids?
Nah, Benedict and Sophie for life.
Benedict and Sophie sound super cute! I'm not against them getting together I just have an issue with the show queerbaiting
@@procrastinationblues True but I am kind of hoping that if they do try to make the series more LQBTQIA+ friendly, maybe the writers have it be an open marriage or maybe Benedict and Sophie are poly. I haven't read the books; I don't know what the story for them entails but, if you're going to bring in the whole Libertine art parties, actually do something with it and not just bait with them. What if Sophie is a model at one of the parties or what if they both participate? I don't know, again, haven't read the books but I hope that if they have already started with the diversified cast, maybe change up the character's sexual orientation as well. I hate when book to screen adaptations only go halfway with things. Obviously Benedict had chemistry with another man, lean into it or why bother having it in the first place.
@Anime Girl I’m not saying that they HAVE to make it LGBTQIA+ friendly as far as romance. The series is a heterosexual romance and that’s fine. I agree with Procrastinationblues as far as the queer baiting. Benedict had a ton of chemistry with Henry. I gave my thoughts on if they opened up his sexuality while still keeping his romantic interest from the book. If they don’t change the characters sexual orientation, that’s fine. I would hope that the writers don’t write away Henry or have Benedict act weird or aggressively towards him. I would hope that while the Main Characters may not be gay, lesbian, asexual, etc., that those who have been written as such are at least treated positively. Benedict and Henry may not be romantic partners but at least keep them as friends and Benedict be comfortable with Henry’s sexuality, whatever that may be.
@@eventingirl001 Hey thanks for this, I would also love it if they made the show more LGBTQIA+ and hopefully have a main character be LGBTIA+. Also just so you know Anime Girl is a homophobic troll that's been replying to a bunch of threads. I hid her user from this channel so she won't be able to comment anymore.
@@procrastinationblues Not a problem! Happy for someone to disagree with me and discuss it in an adult manner but she was just being a troll. Love this video and excited to see what the writers do in future seasons. I hope Netflix continues to create more romance series. Quite an untapped market and there are some great series that deserve to be brought to life.
I'm sorry for you but in season 3 Shopie Beckett is coming ✌🏼😘
Bruh I wonder if they will chnage her race like they did with Simon ....
They can't make them gay because it's a show based on a book series where each sibling has a (straight) match. it's boring and it sucks but they cant really change it without writing out a character
I think they can if the writer is okay with it. After all Julia Quinn is quite involved in the screenwriting process - she's not writing the scripts but she can veto plotlines she feels aren't good. In any case, they added a lot of characters, I'm sure that if they want they can reshape some original ones. This said, I love Sophie, but I'd love for Benedict to be bi/gay!
@@ciaolallala96 that's a good point...I think it would be cool if they changed one of the genders but kept the storyline the same ?? Like Sophie could be sam!
@@46two1nine I would love it so much! I think this might be a good compromise, but still we'll have to see how they'd make it fit into the whole conservativism of the era 🤔
@@46two1nine that be cool as long as like they keep the story plot bc it’s one of my favorites of hers
They already took the liberty of writing a character in (Henry), so why can they not write another one out (Sophie)?
Yes
This pops up in my recommendations and seeing "Henry", I thought it was Henry Cavil.
100 % bi icon
In the third book An Offer from a Gentleman, which is probably the third season, Benedict falls in love and marries Sophie, and he is never shown with a fluid sexuality, it’s something completely invented by the writers of the series, like many other things.
A reason to watch bridgerton
Benedict Bridgerton is not a gay. Wait until you meet Sophie.
he could be bi
Sooo who came back here in 2024?! 🤣
Next season they totally get together
And yet another incomplete half baked gay romance. Get a grip, Netflix and world. 😑
Fantastic edit 👌
Thank you!!!
canon bi benedict 🎉🎉🎉
Yo quiero que sean pareja 🥰😏
Please don’t let Benedict be gay because I WILL DIE if his story with Sophie isn’t told in the series 😭😭😭
I might die if I ever have to see one more regurgitated hetero romance which is a much more likely occurrence but unlike you I know how to avert my eyes
Bad show Netflix, to show this clip in the 1st ever ad for the show 'queerbaiting' at it's worse - I guess raking in $$$ from us on lies and pretence is what big business is best at.... unless S2 get serious with LGBTQI storyline, for me, don't bother with any more seasons... Ill head back to How to get away with Murder or even, if pushed Spartacus...
ok, just found this clip, how to do it right - ua-cam.com/video/T_r8ny_d6bU/v-deo.html
been years since I saw this,so time to get the dvd out....
aaah i need the episode
On one hand I ship it but on other hand I really want sophie and him to get together so...
I hope they stick with the books.
I KNEW IT!!!
I saw them together for one episode and like come on
Which episode is 0:51
Well now
If they're not gonna follow the original story then I'd rather not watch the series at all. They better not name the series after the book as well, it's disrespectful for the author.
Why are you dissapointed about the lack of gay romance?
hi! i can't speak for the video creator, but personally i was disappointed because the initial trailer included a shot of two men having sex (the scene with granville and the other guy at the party) which implied that there'd be a gay subplot, then that turned out to be the only gay content in the actual show; plus it really seemed like they were setting up a romance between granville and benedict and that never happened which like, what exactly was the point of that whole storyline then? "rich boy learns gay people exist"? it was badly written and boring imo
@@fionnualaz perhaps they wanted to show how Benedict discovered a new world. Where people are free to explore their sexuality, a world without concealment or the conservative gaze of the time. That is why Eloise is also portrayed as her closest sister since she also wants to have a life different from what society expected ... she wants to study and see the world, and not just be a wife and mother. I also felt that homosexual vibe, and I even thought that Benedict was, but no, at most maybe he is bisexual. Sorry for my English, it's not my first language.
@@anaguerra217 yeah i understand you! but i think that story would have been more interesting if they'd made him bisexual. really my issue is mainly with the trailer i mentioned, it was very misleading 😂 i probably wouldn't have bothered watching the show if i'd known it was mostly just about a straight romance
@fionnuala Thanks for replying for me! I really agree with this
@@fionnualaz The series won't get rid of Sophie (Benedict's romantic match) because I guess its a well loved character and they are a well loved relationship but maybe open it up. Have her participate at the parties too; she could be accepting of him being bisexual, she could be bisexual herself. They could really go for portraying a sex positive couple; make them polyamorous. How cool would it be to have Benedict and Sophie create an Art Salon in their home by day and by night its a Regency Sex Club? I have not read the books but if Netflix is going to go fast and loose with the source material (I do not mean the openly diverse casting; outside of that, they have made lots of changes from the books), go all out. I would appreciate (don't know if this is true in the novels but maybe for the series) that the female leads in future seasons are aware of sex, procreation and pleasure. I can kind of understand the first book and the mom being very romantic about the subject but maybe have future leads be in control of their own orgasm. How about Daphne educate Eloise and her other sisters on what happens in the bedroom because the mother is no help at all. It would it be amazing to have a scene where Eloise "explores her femininity" and go "Huh, so that's what happens. I don't NEED a man for that bit after all."
Is that Julian Ovenden?
Thats what I thought
Sorry to disappoint you guys but he is 100% straight.
No gay parts in the books
What's the name the vidio
Ay qué feo. Ojalá y luche contra eso😢. Yo no quiero que también metan esas ideas en la serie 😢.
Si empiezan con eso de geyks ya no la voy a ver😢.
Benedict is NOT BI, he's just seeing another side of society he's never seen before that offers more liberty for a person to be whatever they are or wish to be, and he wants to be an artist - but high class he's a part of doesn't like free spirits so he has to hide that side of him - the ARTISTIC side, not gay or bi side...
Don't care what vibes Shonda is putting in series to make him look gay or b, but in the books Benedict is very much heterosexual and very Mr.Darcy. In book 3 he falls madly in love with Sophie and they have a very hot love story...
Déjense de romper la pelotas thank you 😘

Tampoco entiendo a quienes quieren ponerle una pareja gay, no sé cómo harían para q quedé bien teniendo en cuenta que existe Sophie, y suponiendo que en vez de la pareja hetero le ponen un hombre, quedaría poco creíble en esa época que sea visto como algo normal y corriente.

@@anaguerra217 igualmente pueden hacer adaptaciones, yo no he leído el libro o libros, pero a mí Benedic desde el principio me dio vibras gays. Y bueno pues no sé qué harán los guionistas. Y aunque estén en 1800 han introducido música de ahora así que quien sabe

i thoyght half the characters were gay at first and im pissed it was just a background character
