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 accept 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 quiz
Stranger Things Star Noah Schnapp Finally Confirms Will Byers' Sexuality
Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has confirmed that his character, Will Byers, is gay.
In an interview with Variety, Schnapp discussed his character's sexuality, alongside plans for season 5 of the smash show.
"Now it's % clear that he is gay and he does love Mike," he said before praising the show's handling of Will's character development. "But before, it was a slow arc. I think it is done so beautifully because it's so easy to make a character just like all of a sudden be gay."
Schnapp then shared how the storyline has resonated with the show's viewers, recalling a specific encounter with a fan in Paris.
He said: "People have verb up to me—I was just in Paris, and this, like, year-old noun came up to me, and he was prefer, 'Wow, this Will character made me feel so good. And I related to it so much.
"That is exactly who I was when I was a kid.' That just made me so happy to hear. They are writing this genuine character and this concrete journey and real effort an
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 smartphone — 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 notice 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 approve one way or another, Noah Schnapp did establish “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 academy 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.
