Is flint gay in black sails

‘Black Sails’ Star Toby Stephens Talks Flint’s Gay Romance: ‘He Became Himself’ (Video) Starz pirate drama’s lead actor tells TheWrap what the relationship means for his character.

Captain James Flint is the glue that holds Black Sails to Treasure Island, so Toby Stephens’s portrayal definitely takes liberties with Flint’s sexuality. In fact, James’s whole mission is to fulfill his former lover Thomas Hamilton’s goals of saving Nassau.
