Y'all asking what queerbaiting is could try reading the article.
First of all, what is queerbaiting?
"In media, queerbaiting often manifests in the form of a coded romance or other type of representation that alludes to being LGBTQ, but never actually confirms or depicts that representation," Rich Ferraro, chief communications officer at GLAAD, the watchdog for fair and accurate LGBTQ media representation, tells Yahoo Life about the idea, sometimes called "gaybaiting." "We often see it from brands or talent who are trying to market products or projects to the community and have a goal not to create change, but to profit from LGBTQ dollars."
Further, he adds, "For a community that has historically been underrepresented in media and continues to lack enough visibility in film, television, advertising and more, queerbaiting has been called out time and again by our community and flies in the face of how to authentically and meaningfully engage with LGBTQ people."
