'Stranger Thgs' producer and director Shawn Levy addrs theori that Will might be gay after THAT season 4 episo. * is mike from stranger things gay in season 4 *
I thk is done so betifully, bee ’s so easy to make a character jt like all of a sudn be gay. He saw himself Will as a (then closeted) gay geek.
“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. They’re billboards, ” Brett wrote before expertly pickg apart each and every thread that Stranger Thgs had woven to the taptry of Will’s potentially gay inty.
STRANGER THGS SEASON 4 EPISO 8 DID WILL ADM HE IS GAY EMOTNAL NVERSAN WH MIKE FLIX
Stranger Thgs season 4 star Fn Wolfhard spoke to Digal Spy about Will's "love" for Mike. But is Will Byers gay? Well, 's plited... * is mike from stranger things gay in season 4 *
As happens, Stranger Thgs Season 4 seems to not only nfirm that Will is gay, but that he also has a very real csh on his long-time bt iend Mike Wheeler (Fn Wolfhard). The msagg is so loud even I, a straight woman, n now pick up on them, sayg to myself, “Oh, that poor ltle gay boy has a csh on his very straight bt iend! Will is gay and love wh Mike, who is straight and love wh El.
HOW STRANGER THGS MISHANDL WILL'S GAY STORYLE SEASON 4
Season 4, however, is remdg that the ’80s were a homophobic time. There have been a lot of talks about Will’s sexualy the ‘Stranger Thgs’ universe and Season 4 ma everyone believe that he is gay and is actually love wh Mike.
He lled himself “different” which nfirms (partially) that talks about his sexualy were te and he is GAY. Stranger Thgs star Fn Wolfhard has addrsed the speculatn that his character Will may be gay. He was later persecuted for beg gay episo four of this latt season, Will also tells Mike that is “sry to jt open up” and “to say how you really feel”.
While we don't have fe answers for any of the qutns jt yet — We're thkg Steve, Fenty, and narcissism, that precise orr — the Duffer brothers did promise that the biggt qutn of all would fally be addrsed properly volume two (via Variety), is Will Byers a fledglg gay the makg?
IS STRANGER THGS SEASON 4 HTG WILL IS GAY? PRODUCER SAYS 'THERE AREN'T MANY ACCINTS' ON SHOW
After many, many hours and many more endgs, we fally have an answer: Will is kd of fely gay, kd of.
But 's the bt we've got right first "Will is kd of fely gay, kd of" moment arriv episo eight when Will fally reveals what's his secret patg.
IS STRANGER THGS' WILL GAY? IT'S PLITED
It's a tale as old as time: gay boy falls love wh straight bt iend, straight bt iend falls love wh Eggo-lovg psychic, so gay boy pats a dragon picture to exprs his feelgs for straight bt iend, but that giv straight bt iend the urage to tell Eggo-lovg psychic that he lov her, leavg gay boy behd to look out the r wdow and cry while pretendg he's an MTV mic 've all been there.
It certaly stuck wh Jonathan, who later took Will asi volume two's send "Will is kd of fely gay, kd of" moment. Will's moment wh Jonathan only mak sense if Will is gay, so there's more gog on than jt mere implitn.
Yet Will's nermost secrets are only acknowledged briefly a very roundabout what's worse is that the "kd of fely gay, kd of" moments aren't really service of Will's story at all.
IS WILL OM ‘STRANGER THGS’ GAY?
Is Stranger Thgs season 4 htg Will is gay? " The qutns all have to do wh whether or not Will uld be gay and love wh Mike.
NetflixWhen an early trailer for season four dropped, eagle-eyed fans noticed that Will was dog a school project on Alan Turg, the English mathematician who was chemilly strated for beg gay the 1950s. So far, so gay, and now that season four is actually here, there are plenty more hts that fans were right when they dubbed him Will Bi-ers. A classic gay move, we're sure you'll agree, but there are also hts that Will might have done this bee his heart actually belongs to another girl — Eleven.
"Will, beg the msy gay he is might be, mak Mike's drama all about himself, and what we prume are his feelgs for Mike. "NetflixSounds sort of gay to , even if is a teensy b vague still. Not only do Stranger Thgs – and the st – like to dance around the specifics of his inty, also seems as though Will's potential love for Mike won't end on a happy 's extremely relatable for teen gays to fall love wh their bt iend, Will's love for Mike, if is romantic, will go nowhere fast.
