‘STRANGER THGS’ HAS ALWAYS HAD A GAY CHARACTER: WILL BYERS
At a memorial assembly, at Hawks Middle School, Lus watched Mike nont Troy and Jam who were lghg durg the assembly and looked down when Troy lled Will homophobic slurs. “It’s a w for the gays”. ’s a w for the gays.”.
A third wrote: “Stranger thgs havg an official gay character mak me so happy fally some good f**kg reprentatn! Is Will Byers gay Stranger Thgs? “Will Byers really ptur the gay teen experience,” one Twter er claims.
To many, Will appears to be stgglg to tell his iends about his homosexualy.
‘STRANGER THGS’ STAR NOAH SCHNAPP: WILL BYERS IS GAY AND LOV THIS FELLOW CHARACTER
In a nversatn wh Variety, Schnapp prais the show’s reluctance to overtly state Will’s sexualy, argug, “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. I love that moment, tly, but there was another moment earlier the season that ronated eply wh my gay self bee nfirmed that the show has not fotten a key (at least key to me) aspect of one character: Will Byers is also gay.
Okay okay okay–the show don’t e out and explicly addrs , and the scene I’m talkg about may have left some viewers scratchg their heads, but to a gay like me, a gay who was 100% Will Byers when he was 14, I’ve picked up on all of the signs. Flyg around wh all the other ltle fairi, all happy and gay!
The creators didn’t fet about , and if they’re tellg a slow build story of what ’s like to be a gay kid, they’re gettg all the beats down season by season. I was also picked on for beg too sensive and beg, well, gay.
IS STRANGER THGS' WILL GAY? IT'S UP TO "INTERPRETATN"
Md you, the bulli of Smyrna Middle knew I was gay almost a before I did, so ’s not like Will the Stranger Thgs character is necsarily clued to this jt yet. It’s how played out my teenage years, too, when my iends would fend me agast people llg me gay and immediately follow wh “also I don’t thk you’re gay.
It’s also entirely possible that he’s not gay, or intifi wh a different orientatn entirely or no orientatn at all. To me, right now, Will Byers is unmistakably a gay wag bee that’s what I unknowgly was at that pafully awkward age.
Pretty general bully stuff, until you start factorg Billy's general obssn wh one-uppg Steve or tchg his attentn -- not to mentn that homoerotic basketball game, which is followed by a steamy shower scene which Billy lls Steve a "pretty boy" while he leans... And we're not the only on who noticed -- the pretty boy himself saw the Top Gun siari between their characters:"It’s kd of like this homoerotic sort of vibe.
