IS ROB OM STRANGER THGS GAY?
Steve, unlike Maya, don’t have old school homophobia keepg him Rob is Stranger Thgs’ most obv exploratn of queerns season 3, the seri also ntu to nod at the possibily that Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) also fs somewhere on the LGBTQ+ spectm. It’s worth rememberg that Hawke’s character is dog this the 1980s when homosexualy wasn’t really unrstood or accepted. Audienc aren’t takg this reprentatn for granted, but rather askg for better, jt as they have had to do sce the days of Bury Your Gays.
Addnally, there have been speculatns for years that Noah Schnapp’s character, Will Byers, intifi as gay and is love wh Fn Wolfhard’s Mike Wheeler. Bis that, there have been several hts through Stranger Thgs‘ six-year n (so far) that suggt Will Byers is gay.
But they did, dont have to be an official g out scene to see YES, THIS BOY IS GAY. — koolaid ?❤️ (@redbuhll) July 1, 2022 Even though Will never explicly stat his sexualy, be creasgly obv that he intifi as gay. Instead, Rob and Will were both trmatized om their attractn to straight characters, which not only ni gay people the love they serve, but also mak them nothg more than a means to create unnecsary and hurtful drama.
