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

Regardls, the treatment of Richie beg gay has ntued to be mixed, and fans will, of urse, have their own thoughts on how succsfully everythg flowed and played out.
Richie om IT may not have been gay the books — but makg him so the movie add credible pth to the sequel.
