The actual definition of gay emo. He has black-painted nails and the best hair ever.
The real
Connor smoked pot, was often high, but lowkey a chill
dude when he wasn't. He had moments with a little bit of light.
The fake
Connor was literally 100% gay (gay for Evan Hansen at that), and considers Evan a dear friend.
Fun Fact: Both Connors should be protected.
Other Fun Fact: If it weren't for the letter that Evan printed in the computer lab,
Connor wouldn't have ran off to take his own life. The two would've expanded their moment and continued on to actually be friends and maybe even more.
Real
Connor is canonly bisexual, by the way.
Fake Connor is seen as gay by the fandom.
Connor: bUT NOT BECAUSE WE'RE GAY
Evan: nOO, NOT BECAUSE WE'RE GAY
Both: WE'RE CLOSE BUT NOT THAT WAY
