Stranger Things Actor Discusses Sexuality

Noah Schnapp, who is 12 years old, made a comment on Will’s sexuality. Noah decided to get involved with the conversation on Twitter, and made an Instagram post on it.

“For me, Will being gay or not is beside the point. Stranger Things is a show about a bunch of kids who are outsiders and find each other because they have been bullied in some way or are different.”

Stranger Things has become an instant cult classic, after its eight-episode series released earlier this year. Set in the 1980s, it follows a group of young children, a distraught mother and some goofy teenagers as they try to track down their lost friend, Will.

Oh and there’s El:

However, Will’s sexuality has become somewhat of a talking point… but the young actor thinks they’re missing the point.

Check out his post below:

So I thought it would be time to jump into the conversation. I’ve been reading stuff for a while. I think everyone here is missing the point. An author called Gary Schmidt came to speak at our school this week and he said that good stories aren’t supposed to leave you with answers because then you never question yourself and you forget about it. A good book, or a good show leaves a lot of unanswered questions but makes you think. Which is what you are all doing. For me, Will being gay or not is besides the point. Stranger Things is a show about a bunch of kids who are outsiders and find each other because they have been bullied in some way or are different. Does being sensitive, or a loner, or a teenager who likes photography, or a girl with red hair and big glasses, make you gay? I’m only 12 but I do know we all relate to being different. And that’s why I think the Duffers wrote the show the way they did. So you can ask all these questions. I hope the real answer never comes out! #dufferbrothers ❤️❤️

The second season is being filmed as we speak; however, we won’t see our favourite dorks until some time next year. This time, there will be nine episodes. The first season is the third most watched in-house Netflix show. And it’s not hard to see why. We called it ‘wonderful and enchanting’ and think it will have ‘sci-fi fans going gaga’.

And, according to the show’s creators, season two will be a helluva a lot stranger…
