Is buck gay in real life on 911

Tim has never shied away from admitting that the series is always evolving, and that no-one is ever safe from major changes – good or bad – and no true fan can deny that Buck had, in many ways, become stagnant. Many believe the intention of this technique is to capitalize on the LGBTQ+ community by expanding their audience and labeling themselves as LGBTQ+ friendly, while also playing it safe by never specifically defining one's sexuality.

9-1-1 walks a fine line when it comes to queerbaiting because it's never been a show about just straight characters.

But it's one thing to kick off a new season with an over-the-top emergency and another to change the story arc of a major character, one whom former showrunner Kristen Reidel called the "center of the 9-1-1 wheel". That seemed to change in 9-1-1 Season 7, which introduced the character’s first queer storyline.

And then eventually she followed me back.

Stark also made it clear that he had no time for the haters who criticized the show simply because his character was bisexual. “If you are one of the smaller group of people commenting on my posts about how this has ruined the show. Healthy male friendships are still not a common thing to see in media, and it was refreshing for Eddie and Buck to provide a new perspective.

That was back in Season 4. Many have also argued that the character has long been queer-coded – when a character's sexual orientation is implied by significant subtext without being stated outright – using canonical moments from across the seven seasons in their arguments. Not to mention they're each other's "person," as Grey's Anatomy would define it.

There was also Buck's connection with the gay couple in season one with the tapeworm emergency, and who can forget Buck's emotional connection with the elderly gay man Thomas in the season two episode 'Buck, Actually'?

But why now? If the Buddie ship is truly going to sail at some point, it's better for both Buck and Eddie that they get their own storylines to process this part of their lives that they've not yet explored.

go watch something else," he laughed. I’ve read so many of your messages and I couldn’t be prouder,” he wrote.

Oliver told HELLO! “The first one that sticks out to me….

In later seasons, Buck's friendship with Eddie grows so deeply that it is implied that Buck can only find peace in Eddie's house, after he falls asleep on the couch after admitting he can't get comfortable on his own couch.

It’s featured queer relationships from the very beginning including a beautiful Black lesbian marriage played out by two of the best actresses I’ve ever watched.”

He continued, “If one other character finding a new facet to his sexuality and realising his bisexuality is your deal breaker – I fear you’ve missed the ntire point of the show.

Athena's first personal conflict in the series is that her husband comes out as gay.

Experiencing this discovery with a character the audience, and Buck, know and trust would have given it a weight that is missing. 9-1-1 has always done justice to its characters' personal lives by delving into hidden areas of their lives.

The decision to therefore give Buck this new arc not only elevates the character and offers new options for narratives, but gives Oliver the chance to play a new side of Buck, as well as giving LGBTQ+ viewers representation and telling important stories of discovering who you truly are later in life.

We met at the airport and moved in together. Those are just two ships that fans have further popularized with the help of fanfiction and social media theories.
