Stranger things is will gay
&#;Stranger Things&#; Star Noah Schnapp on Doja Cat, Season 5, and Will’s Sexuality: &#;He Is Gay and He Does Love Mike&#; (EXCLUSIVE)
SPOILER ALERT: This story includes discussion of major plot developments in Season 4 of &#;Stranger Things,&#; currently streaming on Netflix.
One of the many thrills embedded in &#;Stranger Things&#; has been watching each of the young cast literally grow into young adults before our eyes. That is perhaps especially accurate of its youngest original member, Noah Schnapp. His character, Will Byers, has been through it over the years: Abducted into the Upside Down, then possessed by a demonic entity known as the Mind Flayer, and then — perhaps worst of all! — seemingly abandoned by his best friends as they discovered girls and matured beyond their days of playing Dungeons and Dragons.
Will never has, and throughout the recently concluded fourth season, he struggled to articulate to his best friend, Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), why.
From the start, it seemed clear that Will is gay and terrified of coming out. When&nbs
Noah Schnapp&#;s Coming Out Journey: The &#;Stranger Things&#; Star &#;Would Still Be Closeted&#; if Not for Will Byers Being Gay
Noah Schnapp was stuck in his drafts. The year-old actor, who’d become a household name on Netflix’s “Stranger Things,” kept putting off posting a video he’d shot on his cell — an announcement he’d been contemplating making for a few months. His closest friends kept texting him: When are you going to post it? I want to observe the world’s reaction! Schnapp kept replying: No, I’m not ready. I’m not ready. I’m not ready.
But on Jan. 5, after his family dropped off his twin sister, Chloe, at college in Boston, he felt ready. As they started the hourslong drive back to their home in Westchester, N.Y., he posted the eight-second video to more than 31 million followers on TikTok.
At first glance, it looked like other clips he’s made messing around with friends (including &#;Stranger Things&#; BFF Millie Bobby Brown): Schnapp, his head on a pillow, lip-syncing to a popular audio c
8 Times Stranger Things Hinted At Will Being Gay (& You Totally Missed It)
Stranger Things fans finally know that Will Byers is gay, but there were signs throughout the series pointing toward this. There has been speculation about Will’s sexuality, and even more so in season 4. While the Duffer Brothers wouldn’t verb one way or another, Noah Schnapp did verify “he is gay, and he does love Mike” in July (via Variety). He also said it was a “slow arc” before season 4.
It was indeed a slow arc before Stranger Things season 4. There were things here and there that hinted at Will being gay, but it was easy to overlook them because they’re kids. Also, there was a lot of more pressing things going on each season. It wasn’t front and center in the way it was in season 4. In addition, Will is in high institution in season 4, so it makes sense that he will be realizing his sexuality more than he was in middle school. Here are eight hints that Stranger Things gave viewers that Will was gay.
8 Will Rejects A Girl That’s Fli Will Byers is Gay: The Evidence So Far
This is a great post, and I’ve addressed many of the same pieces of evidence myself already. What this post does, that I really hadn’t yet, is examine possible external elements that could be in play. Let’s verb a bit of a closer look at the possibilities.
Netflix
The first possibility is that Netflix pulled some executive meddling and got them to change the story. I’d have trouble with this for a couple of reasons. First, the Duffers only went with Netflix because other networks they pitched the show to wanted to change fundamental elements. At least one network wanted to remove the kids entirely and focus on Hopper. The Duffers ultimately went with Netflix because it allowed them to stick to their original vision.
Second, Stranger Things is a gigantic hit, which makes it a marketing cash cow for Netflix. While there might be some minor backlash at going with a gay storyline, Netflix is unlikely to take a smash if the Duffers pulled the trigger with Will. I can buy them being a little nervous, and maybe Robin was put in to verb
