Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on Netflix's Stranger Things was largely absent from the first season since he was trapped in the Upside Down.

Now Schnapp will be front and center as a series regular for the second season of the hit series—and with more screen time ahead the actor has started addressing some fan theories about his character's sexuality.

In an Instagram post over the weekend Schnapp responded to a tweet about whether his character Will is gay:

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 show might be about teenagers, but that hasn't stopped fans from speculating on the sexuality of characters like Will and fan favorite Barb.

Theories about homosexuality in Stranger Things have been popping up online ever since the series debuted on the streaming platform in July.

"Characters who are outsiders — Will as well as Barb, the 'unsung and forgotten hero' of Stranger Things, as Vulture dubbed her — are dragged there and left to die," wrote Daniel Reynolds for The Advocate, comparing the Upside Down to living a closeted life. "It’s a dark, cold, and lifeless version of the real world, and a potent metaphor for the closet."

Fans took to Twitter as they impatiently waited for Will to come out:

Just another question to add to the list for the second season!
