Although the supernatural themes and the war between the real world and the Upside Down are some of the most interesting aspects Stranger Things, we must not forget that at the end of the day, the series was a success for its characters. Among the extensive catalog, Will Byers has always attracted attention and he had several interesting moments in the last season, where everything indicated that this character is gay. now, During an interview, her actor, Noah Schnapp, confirmed this.
In a chat with Variety, Schnapp confirmed that, yes, Will is gay. This was something that was made more than clear throughout the fourth season Stranger Things, A series of dialogues dictate this revelation. Although there was no dialogue that clearly gave us a confirmation, there was no need. The actor commented on it:
“Obviously it was hinted at in season 1: he’s always been there, but it’s never known, is it just that he grows up slower than his friends? Now that he’s older, they make it very real and obvious. Now it’s 100% obvious. That he is gay and loves Mike.
I think it’s very well done, because it’s so easy to suddenly turn a character gay. People have contacted me: I was in Paris and this guy in his 40s came up to me and said, ‘Wow, this Will character makes me feel so good. And I relate to that a lot. That’s exactly how it was when I was a kid.
I am very happy to hear it. They’re writing these real characters, their journeys and struggles are real, and they’re doing really well.”
In the first two seasons, Will’s character was more focused on his relationship with the Upside Down, but at the beginning of the third we saw a new side, one that wants to make up for lost time and The most recent season explores the character’s sexuality. It will be interesting to see what Will’s role will be in the future.

Editor’s Comment:
Although the series had already introduced a gay character, being Robin, it was great for the LGBTQ+ community to be represented among the main cast of characters. Considering the treatment given to the role of Maya Hawke, it is certain that Will will be treated with all the respect he deserves.
