I understand 1st episode is the first impression, but I also think some of you are judging too quickly considering the fact that we only have one episode.
So in the novel Cir lied about the parallel universe thing just like in the series, the confusion comes from the fact that there's no mind-reading in the novel so now no one knows what going on.
So, I may be wrong but I think they have 3 openly queer male actors: Pompan, Fluke and Lego. Not sure if they are the only ones but they are the ones I know are confirmed queer. None of them have an official ship (yet), Pompam is 43 so I doubt gmm will ever give him one but the other 2 I guess they just don't care. I'm sure there's more queer actors, like, there's really obvious ones, but I dont know if they are not allowed to say it or they just prefer not to (because in the end it's really none of our business).
