Noah Schnapp, who plays the role of Will Byers in the popular series "Stranger Things" responded to the claims that his character is gay.
The young actor shared a snapshot of a discussion between the twitter users talking about the sexuality of Schnapp's character on his Instagram account, according to Huffington Post.
Schnapp responded to the post and wrote, "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," he added.
Metro reported that the 12-year-old actor referred the series as a show about outsiders and remarked fans' assumptions that Barb was also a lesbian.
"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?" Schnapp continued.
"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," he ended.
It seems that some Twitter fans are convinced about the issue.

"It's implied in Stranger Things that Will's gay since the bullies call him a F*g and a fairy, but it's never really been confirmed." - @padaleckiken
"Somthing nobodys said bout Stranger Things yet: multiple characters suggest Will is gay, usually in demeaning manner... nobody denies it." - @_Do_I_Know_You
