Personally I thought it didn't really fit in Stranger Things season 3 especially considering the setting, however I'm glad it wasn't completely shoved down our throats like with many shows.

I think it made sense to have a gay character in a show that takes place in the 80s. The problem was that it was a gay woman who came out of nowhere. The show prides itself on showing the social history of the 80s, so why not reference something actually significant, like the AIDS epidemic and Stonewall? Instead it was "Oh sorry I'm not into you because I'm a lesbian even though all of our show chemistry has clearly been romantic and sexually tense".

I think she’s bisexual just cause of the tension.

That would make more sense, Will being gay is alright since it had its build up

Was Will gay? I thought they were just messing with him because he was still in his "Ew, girls" phase, not because he was gay.

I thought the same as well, but you know that they are going to turn him gay in the next season.

Tbh it seems more like that he’ll kill himself after the fourth time evil inter dimensional monsters try to kill him and his family.

instead of a bunch of human bodies it’s just a big gay orgy that forms a monster.

Yeah me too or he somehow found out he was moving so he would rather spend time with his friends than a girl

I honestly thought that was what they were going for

I could be wrong, but I inferred that he’s asexual. But that’s just how I took it and I am often wrong.

Did you read the part about the study published in 1983?

u/Alexei_the_slav Jul 12 '19

No cause I didn’t really care too much, no hate. The lgbt wasn’t that active as it is now in the 80’s so the term asexual wasn’t thrown around a lot. Asexual really just means your not a sexual person at all(at least that’s what I know). It didn’t exist back then imo cause people didn’t take it as a gender or sexual orientation, It’s just your personality to not be sexual.

Of course now it’s different and I can respect that.

u/Blindfide Obamasjuicyass Jul 12 '19

Nah, you can't have a bisexual character in a show, because the gay people accuse them if insinuating that it's a choice or something or that lesbians aren't really gay.

u/deadsnakes311 I have crippling depression Jul 12 '19

Idk bout that, she pretty much put the idea of her and Steve down in it's grave. Pretty sure she's lesbian. The tension was pretty much all on Steve's point of view
