I think he's confidently straight because he dealt with it during ballet. Disclaimer: This is a 100 % fictional story about characters Oliver Otto and Cooper Bradford from ABC TV series American Housewife. if you can’t tell by the length of this response, I’m very interested in where this Oliver gay-teen helpline storyline is going. I’m queer and if anyone confronted me with something like that (while closeted) I would freak out. I think they're going to reveal Cooper is gay. Like you said it's a recurring thing they mention and I believe If he is gay he just doesn't know it yet because he has his life already planned 5 steps ahead so he probably has shut out anything that could affect that plan and has never really gave a deep thought into the possibility, and if he is gay it could be the "moms always know" story line for how she constantly brings it up to question, New comments cannot be posted and votes cannot be cast, More posts from the AmericanHousewife community. Yes definitely! at that point, I thought it was ruled out that he was gay. He doesn’t seem uncomfortable with it (as seen in the latest episode), so maybe he will come out as gay or bi? Cooper Bradford is a close friend to Oliver Otto. Especially if any part of their identity is ridiculed by other people because its good for people to see they're not alone, Ok so I just watched the latest episode and came straight to online to see if there were any speculation to see if he is gay and personally I think/hope they make his character gay. hope you aren’t bothered by my lengthy response! he’s so confident and casual that maybe he already knows he’s not straight and he’s just waiting for the right moment to come out.

Now Katie must learn to raise her fourth- but they don't exactly give out manuals for this kind of thing. He is portrayed by Daniel DiMaggio. I think they were just showing him growing as a person. His parents may not be as supportive as the ottos on that particular front. He is attempting to learn to live the rich lifestyle. Well, that's about to change now. Press J to jump to the feed. I hope not; I would like his reasons for helping Will to have no selfish motives whatsoever. Plus I don't like the idea that he lied to his parents about it. Not that gay/bi teens are always upfront (and may not be comfortable talking about it) but they've made an effort to show that Oliver has grown and has a better relationship with Greg and Katie than he did before. but with this recent teen helpline storyline and the social media page I am beginning to wonder if he might be gay/bi. :), The show already has gay characters. Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. If he's only supportive of Will coming out because it makes it easier to share his own story, then I feel like it's "typical" Oliver. Rated: T - English - Family/Humor - Chapters: 1 - Words: 300 - Reviews: 3 - Favs: 6 - Follows: 3 - Published: Oliver gets his heartbroken, and Cooper is the only one that can glue him back together. His birth mother never wanted him, so he got taken in by the Ottos. For him to have lied and hidden it from them would be sliding back on this character growth. Gay people exist. Enjoy! I’m excited for the next episode for sure. maybe the social media page will lead to him coming out or realizing his sexuality is not straight? The fact that they've brought up his sexuality so many times this season alone makes me think they're going somewhere with this. He belongs to the richest family in town, though is parents travel a lot leaving Cooper home. I hope not. though it seems kinda strange to me that when Taylor confronted him about the social media page he did not freak out. Well, that's about to change now. Rated: K+ - English - Romance/Family - Chapters: 1 - Words: 967 - Published: Spoilers up to "The Great Cookie Challenge". He knows who he is and just wants Will to feel the same. I don’t think so. Helping Will leads to a life-altering epiphany for Oliver. I’m kinda glad you asked this because I was also wondering this. He might be bi but I dont think he is gay. The series chronicles the daily life of Katie Otto, a wife and mother who tries to stand out among the wealthy, pretentious, arrogant housewives and their privileged children after moving to the town of Westport, Connecticut. It would be an interesting twist if he was just like “yeah I’m not straight” and shrugged it off/didn’t make it into a big arc. I was thinking more asexual straightish. I remember the storyline where Greg and Katie thought he was gay but he told them he wasn’t. I'm so excited to see where this storyline with Will leads! Rated: T - English - Romance/Friendship - Chapters: 1 - Words: 1,427 - Reviews: 2 - Favs: 2 - Published: Amazing that there are no Taylor/Cooper stories yet AT ALL. I know it’s been a recurring theme, hell they even had a whole episode dedicated to the speculation, but are they going to make Oliver gay? Amazing that there are no Taylor/Cooper stories yet AT ALL. Oliver Duke Angelo Otto is the middle child and only son of Katie and Greg. Like, if you took a graph where x stats at liking boys and ends at liking girls, and y starts at very sexual and ends at asexual, he'd land very high and slightly more to the right. No your thoughts are exactly mine after the teen help line episode! If he's only supportive of Will coming out because it makes it easier to share his own story, then I feel like it's "typical" Oliver. Every grown-up in Westport kisses Cooper's ass in hopes of getting in good with his parents. And it's good foe people to be able to see themselves represented in media. It would be a very different coming out style story for a tv show. By using our Services or clicking I agree, you agree to our use of cookies.

Cooper is thrilled to officially be a part of the family after marrying Oliver. Plus I don't like the idea that he lied to his parents about it. He has two siblings named Taylor (older sister) and Anna-Kat (younger sister). Katy admits to missing Taylor when she goes off to college but Christmas Day is always a chance to enjoy family. I don’t know if you’re upset about gay characters but the show has already had a few and Angela, a major character, is a lesbian. Cookies help us deliver our Services.

I was really shocked at his reaction and it’s what made me wonder if they really are going to make him gay or some form of Not Straight? But either way, they're family.

It's pretty self-exclamatory, but basically, Taylor and Trip are finally finished and Cooper helps her to begin to forget him until she has. Well since there are lgbtq people all around us, YES every show SHOULD have that representation.
