IS RICHIE FROM IT GAY IN THE BOOK?
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. While Richie never openly says he’s gay or bisexual, the tentn is there, and that is what matters.
Richie beg nonilly gay (though I hate to assign a specific label to him, sce the book he’s had ser relatnships wh women while still havg subtextual feelgs for Eddie, while the film seems to imply he’s gay rather than bisexual) is not a cisn thrown to appease or panr to the “Tumblr crowd” as some Reddors have already dismissively said. The film also opens wh a btal homophobic attack on a gay man, so to kill off two out of three openly gay characters might have drawn ire, and rightfully so.
It’s also worth notg that prejudice and bigotry are very much villas the world of IT, and homophobia is clud that. The darkns of the human ndn and the pa we flict on others is jt as much a monster as Pennywise, and that clus the homophobia that Richie and Adrian Mellon face.
