are eddie and richie gay

Is Richie gay 'IT Chapter 2’? Bill Har plays the character the new movie, and he harbors a secret attractn to one of his bt iends.

IS RICHIE FROM IT GAY IN THE BOOK?

But  Chapter Two, ’s revealed Richie is gay, and he’s always had feelgs for Eddie. I don’t believe there was an tentn to make Richie gay the first movie, and the character isn’t gay the books. Watch what the filmmakers had to tell about Richie the vio Chapter Two ma text what had only been subtext Stephen Kg's origal book: wise-crackg Losers' Club member Richie Tozier is a gay man, and has romantic feelgs for his fellow Loser Eddie character's sexualy had been hted at the book, and over the years many fans theorized that he had more feelgs than jt iendship for Eddie.

The film's openg sequence picts a btal hate crime agast a gay uple, which sets the stage for how unwelg this Mae town is to the LGBTQ+ muny and the chillg effect such open homophobia and bigotry would have had on Richie, who cid to stay the closet even after movg away and fdg fame and fortune stand-up Har wanted the film to m fully to makg Richie gay or to not even brg up. "Har also poted out that the perds that the book was set were very different tim for gay characters than what morn dienc would expect this film to portray.

In this scene, set Derry's ar, young Richie (Fn Wolfhard) has homophobic slurs hurled at him by the bully Henry Bowers after a game of Street Fighter between Richie and Henry's . While Richie never openly says he’s gay or bisexual, the tentn is there, and that is what matters. Richie beg nonilly gay (though I hate to assign a specific label to him, sce the book he’s had ser relatnships wh women while still havg subtextual feelgs for Eddie, while the film seems to imply he’s gay rather than bisexual) is not a cisn thrown to appease or panr to the “Tumblr crowd” as some Reddors have already dismissively said.

'IT CHAPTER TWO': JAM RANSONE ON THAT UNEXPECTED, STEPHEN KG-APPROVED GAY SUBPLOT (EXCLIVE)

The film also opens wh a btal homophobic attack on a gay man, so to kill off two out of three openly gay characters might have drawn ire, and rightfully so.

STEPHEN KG CHAMPNS ‘IT CHAPTER TWO’ GAY CHARACTER SURPRISE: ‘KD OF GENI’

It’s also worth notg that prejudice and bigotry are very much villas the world of IT, and homophobia is clud that. The darkns of the human ndn and the pa we flict on others is jt as much a monster as Pennywise, and that clus the homophobia that Richie and Adrian Mellon face.
