In a recent interview shared by Them, ‘Heated Rivalry’ stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams weighed in on why the series has struck such a strong chord with straight women. The show, which centers queer desire and intimacy, has found an audience well beyond its core LGBTQ+ fanbase, prompting conversation about how masculinity is portrayed on screen. Storrie offered a blunt assessment of the appeal, suggesting that many women are drawn to the series because it presents a version of masculinity that feels different from what they’re used to seeing. “They are so exhausted by the idea of straight men that this is the only way they get to see a form of masculinity that feels accessible and interesting,” he said. #HeatedRivalry #ConnorStorrie #HudsonWilliams #LGBTQIA #straightwomen
