Are any of the bridgertons gay in the books

Is Benedict Bridgerton gay? While Benedict Bridgerton’s sexuality isn’t stated in the books, showrunner Jess Brownell and actor Luke Thompson have confirmed that Benedict is pansexual.

The writers have gender-swapped Michael's character, thereby also changing Francesca's sexuality from straight in the books to (possibly) bisexual in the show. In the past, Bridgerton author Julia Quinn has vocalized her support for (and desire to see) LGBTQ+ representation in the Netflix adaptation's main characters.
