This is the kind of poignant queer moment that Shonda Rhimes fans would come to expect from a show that carries her name. However, no reference is made to queerness again until near the end, when Bridgerton's newfound friend openly discusses his desire for men, and why it's vital that he hides this within a straight sham marriage. Bridgerton star talks Daphne's 'sexual evolution'Īlthough the show quickly moves on from this encounter, there's clearly some sexual tension between Benedict and the party's host.
