WHY DID PEOPLE THK DEAR EVAN HANSEN WAS A GAY MIL?
I wanted people to thk, "That character's more plex than I thought, " stead of sayg, "Oh, he out pk and you know he's gay.
So why was there an ia that Dear Evan Hansen was about a gay kid? He mak a lot of jok about there beg a secret gay relatnship between Evan and Connor. That is pretty much as “gay” as gets.
Evan beg seen as gay seems to have more to do wh how— 2016, when the show opened on Broadway—a lot of gay media had teenagers beg the subject of bullyg. Evan’s role as the “other” for his mental health and anxiety seemed to make those who’d never really seen the show thk he was gay. It don’t help that the bt-known song the mil, “Wavg Through a Wdow, ” sounds very much like a gay “I Want” song.
