Is eddie gay
Some things in the novel that may point to Eddie being gay
A bunch of people sent me asks and messaged me asking to make a post about the scenes in the book that code Eddie as lgbtq+. Of course, there’s nothing in the book that straight up says “Eddie is gay,” but there are some things that may imply it:
- The most talked about thing is Eddie’s encounter with the leper. This scene in the book is a bit different than in the movie in that instead of just tracking Eddie looking super gross and disease ridden, the leper in the manual offers to give Eddie a blowjob.
This, being Eddie’s biggest fear, can be interpreted in several ways. Of course, the most obvious is the leper itself represents Eddie’s terror of disease and dirtiness. He feels that if he touches it, he will instantly begin to rot from the inside out. However, the offerings of a blowjob at first for a dime and then for free not only shows Eddie’s fear of sex in general (with how much his mother likely repressed him sexually, but also instilled a fear of sex) but also of his fear of sex with men.
- At a point in the guide, Eddie talks about how he suddenly began fearing going to church and celebrating communion. He

why i think eddie was queer coded
This is why I PERSONALLY think that Eddie Munson is gay. Please act not jump me because you don’t agree, or because you ship him with a female OC, or because you even like him yourself while not being male. This post is not meant to upset anyone, I’m just sharing my thoughts.
Okay, for starters, let’s talk about the word ‘freak’. Will, who is heavily homosexual coded (and Noah just confirmed that he’s gay), has been called a freak on multiple occasions. Robin, a canon woman loving woman, told Steve that if she asked out the wrong girl, then she’d be a town pariah (so... a freak). And Eddie ‘the freak’ Munson was the number one freak of Hawkins Indiana. To be honest, the word ‘freak’ is courteous of giving a replacement for a homophobic slur.
Now let’s discuss flagging, also known as hanky code. I’m not going to get into this in very much detail because I don’t want my post taken down. But a brief summary of what it is, is a code that *GAY* men used in the ‘70s and ‘80s to show what kind of you know what they wanted to have. If you want to understand more about the color’s and what black (the color of Eddie’s bandana) means, then please undertake further research. This isn’t ver
"eddie isn't queer/gay," you state. "he is straight in canon, so him entity gay is just a head canon. it's ok for others to reflect of him as vertical because that's what he is."
let's ignore for a second the fact that eddie has never ever ever ever not even once, said in canon that he is a heterosexual very straight guy. seriously!!! he has never once said it!!! if i am "assuming" he's gay then you are also "assuming" he is straight even though he has never once said it!!
how do you assume we got bi buck as canon? like i am serious right now, answer the question. how do you think we go bi buck canon? evan buckley was never conceived to be a bisexual man at the beginning of 911. the reason we have evan buckley as a canonically bisexual character today is because us, queer fans of 911, interpreted him and headcanoned him as bisexual. i would depart even further and state that it was us, BUDDIE FANS, who interpreted him and headcanoned him as bi. even before the writers were explicitly writing him as fluid. we read his behavior and his story and his identity and said: "this is a bi character!" and the wr
