"Society should not be allowed to dictate the rules of how one lives life. Or who one loves. I am capable of caring for you, just as I have cared for women I have known who are of the ton. Just as I have cared for some men whom I have known intimately. And I refuse to be at all ashamed about that."
"I think for those of us who identify as queer and are attracted to multiple genders, no matter who we end up with, we will always identify as queer, it's a part of our identity. For Benedict to tell Sophie every part of himself and be completely embraced and loved for who he is, that's the only form of true love."
Season four of Bridgerton features Benedict Bridgerton's coming-out scene where he reveals his bisexuality to Sophie. Benedict's queerness was established in season three through relationships with both men and women, including Lady Tilley Arnold and Paul Suarez. In season four's first episode, he kisses another man before clarifying his sexuality to Sophie. During their conversation, Benedict states that society shouldn't dictate how one lives or who they love, and he refuses to feel ashamed about caring for both women and men. Sophie responds positively, affirming that love is always something to be proud of. Showrunner Jess Brownell emphasized the importance of portraying this scene authentically, noting that for queer individuals attracted to multiple genders, their queer identity remains constant regardless of their partner, and true love requires complete acceptance and no hidden aspects of oneself.
