So there is this one guy on this quite niche forum talking about Hudson. He gives pretty specific details so I’m inclined to believe he isn’t bluffing. I was also able to find his X and he talks about living in Salmon Arms and Vancouver before so it tracks. He also isn’t a HR fan, per se, so it’s not like he has some skin in the game.
”Yes. It's refreshing to finally have gay actors play gay characters. It's also probably why the sex scenes are getting praise for being the most accurate portrayal ever seen on tv”
”And Hudson Williams grew up in Kamloops which was a hop and a skip away from where I grew up. Had mutual friends in Kamloops, he also lived in Vancouver around the same time I did, he's been with guys.”

”We lived 45 minutes from each other, Hudson in Kamloops and me in Salmon Arm. Had mutuals friends and had been to a couple of the same parties. One party which he was hanging around another gay guy from Kamloops (which I ended up hooking up with a year later) I don't know if I'm breaking any boundaries here, but things happened between them at that party. And he confirmed it with me when we had started hooking up as well as mutual friends had also confirmed what had happened. That area is/was very homophobic so it was meant to be a tight-lipped secret. And when he lived in Vancouver I'd seen him at Celebrities* kissing a guy. Maybe he's fluid, maybe he was experimenting, I don't know. I'm just telling you what I know.”

*Celebrities is a club in Davie Village (often considered a gay village) in Vancouver. It’s an old school gay club has later become more mixed and mainstream but they do pride events etc.
There was also someone on Reddit claiming Katelyn being ”a swinger” and hooking up with their ex-gf. Could be completely made up ofc.
My theory is that Hudson and Katelyn are both queer and they’ve had an on-off and/or open rs for a while at least.
Yes, that's probably the source of all the rumours that's been floating around. I've heard all this before from others. I'm not sure it trust it enough to believe it.
Who knows what's real and what the nature of the relationship between K and H used to be when they were together. I can buy that they're both queer.
We know that Hudson has admitted to having internalised homophobia. If he was brought up in a homophobic place, had to hide his same sex attraction and hook ups, and moved to Vancouver and got a gf, then i see a guy who might feel shame about his same sex attraction, and who wants to fit in and be accepted, but have moments of bravery to act on his attraction to men. He's still friends with people from where he grew up, and navigating that might have been hard for him if he felt they wouldn't accept him as queer.
That might explain his on/off or open relationship with K. The question is where he stands now. It seems his time at Langara and that new friend group helped with his self-acceptance and confidence. He seems to be very self-assured, confident, open and sure in his identity now. Enough to admit to his struggles with internalised homophobia.
As we get all these leaks and glimpses of his past back in Kamloops, and we are shown the true nature of his "friends", i think that can explain a lot of Hudson's past behaviour.
