IT: CHAPTER TWO’S GAY-BASHG SCENE EXPLOS A REAL-LIFE KILLG FOR A CHEAP SHOCK
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.
However, unlike the somewhat ialized 1980s of the Kg-fluenced Stranger Thgs, It's two-part movie adaptatn enavors to addrs the small-town homophobia that was rife Ameri at the time, and pictg Richie as a succsful entertaer who left his ral home favor of a large metropolan cy mak harr for the sequel to make sense of his closeted stat.

The novel’s versn of Richie never refers to himself as gay, but this is more than unrstandable when the novel’s early half is set durg the ‘50s while the latter half tak place the ‘80s.
Like Kubrick’s take on The Shg, the movie adaptatn of It chang a lot of the origal text, and as a gay man who grew up at the height of the AIDS epimic and is a succsful entertaer the 2010s, Chapter 2’s versn of Richie is someone who likely would have e out to at least his clost iends, if not the world at large. There is a possibily that workg as a stand-up edian (an dtry that has been plagued by homophobia ntroversi over the s) means Richie feels he n’t e out, but It Chapter 2 never explor this issue.
Seemgly dropped om an earlier, darker versn of the movie, It Chapter 2’s ntroversial openg scene promis the followg sequel will not shy away om ank, unsparg discsns of queer opprsn, pictg homophobia and s ill effects.
