LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The first two episodes of ‘The Last of Us’ received praise from across the globe and viewers were excited about the show staying true to the source material. However, the third episode changed everything and a certain section of people was not happy with the way Bill and Frank’s relationship was shown in the series. Since then, several people have been trolling the series for its “gay storylines” and making everyone believe that the makers are trying to put forward their own agenda to the masses. However, it seems Bella Ramsey has had enough of these trolls and didn’t shy away from clapping back at them by saying that they should just “get used to” such storylines.

Ramsey, who plays the role of Ellie in the show, is a force to be reckoned with and continues to get better with each passing episode. She has received a lot of love from the LGBTQIA+ community in recent times as she is an ally of the community. That’s one of the main reasons that Ramsey is not afraid of speaking for the aforementioned community and slams the trolls who are trying to malign such a beautiful and emotional love story between Bill & Frank.

In an interview with GQ Magazine UK, the 19-year-old star reflected on the episodes that have aired so far and noted that they were “on the verge of tears” while shooting Episode 3, which featured Bill & Frank’s relationship, and cried when the duo got married during the episode. However, she also opened up about the backlash that the particular episode received and revealed that the discourse will never make her “afraid”.

“I'm not particularly anxious about it. I know people will think what they want to think. But they’re gonna have to get used to it. If you don’t want to watch the show because it has gay storylines, because it has a trans character, that’s on you, and you’re missing out. It isn’t gonna make me afraid. I think that comes from a place of defiance,” Bella told GQ Magazine.

Is Bella Ramsey gay?

Ramsey has been a long supporter of the LGBTQIA+ community and her old Instagram posts are a testament that she is not afraid to speak her mind.

Meanwhile, in a recent interview with the New York Times, the star stunned the world when she revealed some really intimate information about her personal life.

“I guess my gender has always been very fluid. Someone would call me ‘she’ or ‘her’ and I wouldn’t think about it, but I knew that if someone called me ‘he’ it was a bit exciting. I’m very much just a person. Being gendered isn’t something that I particularly like, but in terms of pronouns, I really couldn’t care less,” Ramsey told The New York Times.

Her comments came just four days before the premiere of 'The Last of Us'.

What does ‘Gender Fluid’ means?

Gender Fluidity is quite common in humans and refers to changes over time in a person’s gender expression or gender identity or both. In simple terms, someone who is fluid is a person whose gender identity is not fixed.
