Will stranger things gay scene

Screen Rant

I was used to acting him [dealing] with the Mind Flayer, the supernatural aspects and the darker, kind of non-personal stuff. This season was a new thing for me. I had to explore him navigating his personal identity issues and struggling with growing up and assimilating into high school.

You ready? Alright, let's go. And that's pretty much it for now. Any one of these things taken in isolation could be very easily dismissed, but here's the thing; they aren't isolated incidents. They are part of a clear and consistent pattern, one that goes all the way back to the show's inception, before even one minute of footage was filmed.

He invented the modern computer. He helped end World War II. It makes sense that Will looked up to this man. He felt he was going through a similar situation. While the 80s were much better than the 40s and 50s, it was still not widely acceptable to come out as gay. The Duffer Brothers were hinting at Will's sexuality back in the pilot.
