We Need to Talk About Will

In the final season of Stranger Things, Will Byers publicly acknowledges he is gay. The show hinted at this throughout its run—even in the first episode, his mother mentioned his father once used a homophobic slur to describe him, and later, a disagreement with his friend Mike touched on Will’s lack of interest in girls. However, Will’s journey with his feelings, particularly his romantic feelings for Mike, became a central part of his story in the show’s last two seasons.
