FN WOLFHARD ‘REALLY PROUD’ OF NOAH SCHNAPP FOR COMG OUT AS GAY: ‘I HAD A BIG SE ON MY FACE’ WHEN HE DID

His sensibily as a gay artist has shaped and elevated the magaze’s athetic, but he has to keep his creativy check lt Mx be seen as a magaze for gay men. But fish strong, as the nflict over Richie’s bathhoe project grows and Mx has to nsir whether ’s too risky for the magaze to speak to gay men, or even gay moments like this, the historil fictn feels not entirely historil. Fn Wolfhard uldn’t be happier for his longtime “Stranger Thgs” -star Noah Schnapp, who publicly me out as gay a TikTok vio last month.

“STRANGER THGS” ACTOR FN WOLFHARD RELLED THE HEARTWARMG MOMENT HE SAW HIS COSTAR NOAH SCHNAPP COME OUT AS GAY ON TIKTOK

Schnapp me out as gay a Jan.

I’VE INTIFIED AS GAY FOR YEARS. NOT ANYMORE.

The 18-year-old actor wrote on the post: “When I fally told my iends and fay I was gay after beg sred the closet for 18 years and all they said was ‘we know. On “Stranger Thgs, ” Schnapp plays the closeted gay teenager Will Byers.

AM I GAY OR NOT QUIZ?

Last month, Stranger Thgs actor Noah Schnapp me out as gay a lighthearted TikTok.

Alongsi a ptn that read, “When I fally told my iends and fay I was gay after beg sred the closet for 18 years and all they said was, ‘we know, ’” Noah lip-synched to a viral TikTok sound that says, “You know what never was? Gog on to reference his Stranger Thgs character Will Byers, who he nfirmed is gay last July, Noah quipped, “I gus I’m more siar to Will than I thought. For some ntext, Will beg gay is somethg that was heavily implied throughout all seasons of the Netflix show to date.

“I thk that’s the bety of , that ’s jt up to the dience’s terpretatn, if ’s Will kd of jt refg to grow up and growg up slower than his iends, or if he is really gay. But, Noah ultimately end up nfirmg last July that Will is fact gay and that he’s love wh his onscreen bt iend Mike Wheeler, who is portrayed by Fn Wolfhard. “It’s 100% clear that he is gay and he do love Mike.

HOW DO I KNOW I’M NOT REALLY GAY/STRAIGHT?

I thk is done so betifully, bee ’s so easy to make a character jt like all of a sudn be gay, ” he add. Bulli teased me for beg gay when I was younger, but when a six-year-old boy lls another six-year-old boy gay, he means “weird” or “gross, ” not “has sex wh men. Kids are not gay or straight, they’re jt kids.

I wasn’t gay or straight. Why, then, do adults who knew me as a child sist that I was gay all along?

I felt prsured to pick a label and stick wh , and for a long time “gay” worked bee I didn’t thk about much. But the last year or two, I’ve started to rethk my relatnship to the label “gay.

I hooked up wh trans and nonbary people and stopped scribg myself as gay, preferrg to e the more clive tchall “queer.

Often when I tell some people that I’m distancg myself om gay, they immediately suggt I intify as bisexual, or pansexual.

"THAT'S SO GAY" IS JT SO WRONG

I need somethg that means “mostly gay but not fully mted and open to other possibili, ” but, alas, such a niche label has yet to be imaged.

When I was six, the boys who teased me labelled me as gay.

The adults my life labelled me as gay. And for a while after g out, “gay” worked fe.
