Is Will Byers Gay in 'Stranger Things' Season 3?
Unfortunately, they all ditched him in the middle of a D&D game leaving him very upset. Before taking out his anger on Castle Byers , Will and Mike had a big fight and said some pretty harsh things. While Will shared his anger over the rest of the boys
, Mike yelled out,"it's not my fault you don't like girls," which left many fans wondering what exactly he meant by that.While co-creators the Duffer Brothers have stayed pretty quiet about it, Noah Schnapp, who plays Will, revealed that it's really up to the viewer to view that line as they would see fit.
"It’s really up to interpretation. While all the characters were out developing and growing up, Will was in the Upside Down and he was alone there, not interacting with or connected to his friends or the rest of the world," he told."And when he got back, he expected everything to just go back to how it was before, how it was when he was normal and when he was a kid and he wanted to go back to the basement and play D&D.
Even with his response, a lot of fans still believe that it meant that Will is gay. There is a possibility that they will explore it in the next season, but it's also important to remember that the show takes place in the 1980s and there might be several reasons why Will might not talk openly about his sexual orientation.
Also, with recent debates about queerbaiting on television and the importance of having multi-faceted queer characters, it's definitely a big conversation that needs to be had. Nevertheless, there was another character who did talk about their sexual orientation during the season and that's Maya Hawke's character, Robin.
