This only happened because they finally got rid of that homophobic show messenger who refused to search Buck’s obvious sexual bond with men.

He kisses like straight actors who play gay characters tend to kiss – make your lips as small as possible, ram them into the other actor's lips, remain perfectly still, and start counting down the seconds until you can mercifully haul away.

Yes!!!

Buck fans knew it all along.

But we've been shipping Buck and Eddie.

Who's this guy kissing Buck?

I haven't watched the show in a while.

Also, the clip looks more like the other guy kissing Buck, and him not really kissing back.

So is he "out, out" or was he just caught off guard being kissed by another guy?

Can someone who has been watching the demonstrate , catch me up on Buck's story?

Why 9-1-1's historic decision to make Buck queer was seven years in the making

For seven seasons,9-1-1 fans have been calling on the showrunners to produce the queer-coded character Evan 'Buck' Buckley explicitly queer – and to my huge surprise, it's finally happened.

Season seven episode four, 'Buck, Bothered and Bewildered', saw the character grow jealous over Eddie Diaz's new friendship with Tommy Kinard, only for Buck to perceive by the end that it was never Eddie's friendship he was worried about but rather Tommy's attention, and the pair kissed.

Fans have fallen in love with the ethics of Buck (played by Oliver Stark) over the past seven years, acknowledging his tender heart and willingness to jump without thinking for those he loves. Many have also argued that the nature has long been queer-coded – when a character's sexual orientation is implied by significant subtext without being stated outright – using canonical moments from across the seven seasons in their arguments.

Think back to the early seasons, and how Eddie Diaz's introduction to the 118 came from Buck's poin
