Description

Croft and Chandran play childhood best friends but things grow complicated when Archie realises he is in love with her, just as he builds up the courage to share his feelings, American transfer student Billy Walsh (Tanner Buchanan) arrives and captures Amelia’s (Chandran) attention much toArchie’s dismay. Heartstopper's Sebastian Croft is an absolute badass when it comes to allyship with his LGBTQ peers.

I wanted to remind people with this T-Shirt, that queer has not just always been here throughout human history, but almost definitely predates us. Homophobia is the newcomer…”

Forget the press releases, dance to Whitney Houston

Co-designed by the Heartstopperstar Croft, 20, and artistKieran Blakey with Everpress, thewhite t-shirt features an orange and blue illustration of designof two dinosaurs kissing against a blue forest Often being queer is sold as a choice or watered down to a trend. But it’s not, and exists across nature,”the 20-year-old actor shared upon the shirt’s intial release. Claiming to be an “ally” is easy. The hard part is the follow through. How to be an ally, by Sebastian Croft Judging by what’s been transpiring so far in 2022, the festooning of rainbows on corporate logos and proclamations of “standing with” or “supporting” LGBTQ employees and the community really haven’t been moving the needle. Such action is about as effective and inspirational as a Nancy Pelosi poem reading at yet another U.S. Capitol open mic. I remember when my brother told me that there were animals that some were gay. Quite a lot in fact. Completely naturally, without any concept of what it would mean to love the same sex and why that might be different to any other kind of love. I found that incredibly empowering. Often being queer is sold as a choice or watered down to a trend. But it’s not, and exists across nature. We’re also robbed of a lot of gay history, and can easily forget how long we have been here for.” The 'Queer was always here t-shirt,' a collab between Sebastian Croft and Kieran Blakey (Image credit via Everpress)

If anything, Croft has been stepping up, and doing far more to express his support for the LGBTQ community than frequently posting warm photos on social with his fellow Heartstopper cast members — mind you, they are a bouquet of positive, happy vibes. A gentle reminder: Queer was always here As well as the upcoming second and third seasons of Heartstopper coming in the future, Croft is otherwise being kept busy as the leading man in Prime Video’s original British rom-com, How To Date Billy Walsh. There’s not long before the chance to nab one of Sebastian Croft’s adorable ‘Queer was always here’ charity t-shirts is over. To everyone who bought a ‘queer was always here’ t-shirt THANK YOU. because of you, we have raised 150K for @chooselove and @RainbowRailroad🥺🦕🏳️‍🌈💖🏳️‍⚧️That reaction was about far more than any cliche about having "the guts." Croft responded with unconditional love and an unrestrained side of emotional intelligence. If there’s a video of a Big 4 accounting firm or CPG company employees reacting the same way at a Pride event in their rainbow logo T-shirts, please do send it onto us. Solid colors are 100% cotton; Heather colors are 50% cotton, 50% polyester (Sport Grey is 90% cotton, 10% polyester); Antique colors are 60% cotton, 40% polyester. Fabric is made from specially spun fibers that make very strong and smooth fabric. We need more people like Croft, who is loud and proud when it comes to LGBTQ rights. Sure, this year’s Pride Month is now in the rearview mirror, but as a reminder on this side of the pond, the number of anti-LGBTQ bills that have been simmering across the U.S. has resulted in less of a laundry list and more of a disturbing nationwide purge determined to strip queer citizens of their rights. At last count, about three dozen anti-transgender bills alone have made their way to state legislatures across America. To be clear, IRL Croft is nothing like Ben Hope; in fact, on his social media accounts he makes it clear that he’s part of the “ Ben Hope Hate Club” and is no where even close to Ben at all. We’re also robbed of a lot of gay history, and can easily forget how long we have been here for […] I wanted to remind people with this T-Shirt, that queer has not just always been here throughout human history, but almost definitely predates us.”
