‘9-1-1’ Star Oliver Stark ‘Couldn’t Be Prouder’ of Buck’s Kiss, Responds to Homophobic Backlash: ‘You’ve Missed the Entire Point of the Show’


Oliver Stark, who stars as Buck in '9-1-1,' says he 'couldn't be prouder' of his character's same-sex kiss and responds to homophobic comments.

It’s featured queer relationships from the very beginning including a beautiful Black lesbian marriage played out by two of the best actresses [Aisha Hind and Tracie Thoms] I’ve ever watched.” Stark continued, “If one other character finding a new facet to his sexuality and realizing his bisexuality is your deal breaker — I fear you’ve missed the entire point of the show. “9-1-1,” which originally aired on Fox before moving to ABC, follows the lives of Los Angeles first responders including firefighters, paramedics, police officers and dispatchers.
