Stu gay

Scream’s Matthew Lillard recently set the record straight regarding OG Ghostface killers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher’s sexuality. Ahead of the new “Scream,” out Friday, openly gay screenwriter of the first “Scream," Kevin Williamson, has confirmed that Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Stu (Matthew Lillard), who are thought to be queer by many LGBTQ+ fan theorists, were based on infamous mass murderers Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr.

and Richard Albert Loeb, both of whom. Ahead of last year’s Scream () release, writer Kevin Williamson set the record straight and confirmed that the amorous relationship between Billy and Stu isn’t just meme-fodder. Williamson wrote the original script with real life gay killers Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. and Richard Albert Loeb in mind. Neve Campbell has revealed whether or not she agrees with theories that Billy and Stu were gay in the original Scream film.

Ever since Scream first came out in , there have been multiple.

I think the relationship between

I think the relationship between Billy and Stu is a little queer-coded but I don’t think either of them were actually gay. Welcome to Gayly Dreadful, your one stop shop for all things gay and dreadful and sometimes gayly dreadful. There are few things as enjoyable as watching Matthew Lillard on screen.

Nineties Lillard, perhaps the peak of his Lillard-ness is the most enjoyable. A manic, often unhinged energy comes off the man and the characters he performs. None more so than Scream. As spoiler alert secondary killer Stu Macher, Lillard is able to give the full range of his manic energy for a role that has gone on to become one of his signature roles.

How much, or how little, the bisexual coding in Stu is intentional only Lillard, Wes Craven and Kevin Williamson can say but it is there. From the outset Stu is presented as an outgoing, fairly flamboyant guy. His ease with men and women might be our first indicator that he is interested in both. Stu is shown around his girlfriend Tatum Rose McGowan from the beginning, his arm around her.

He frequently has his tongue out around people in response to anything. This shows a case of fragility within his own male ego but also an ongoing interest in women physically and sexually. In conversation with Randy ahead of the party, Stu immediately comes to the defence of Billy. This is the first suggestion that perhaps Stu is interested in Billy.

Moreover, as the scene progresses and Billy confronts Randy about his accusations Stu puts his around Randy from behind and plays with his ear in an affectionate manner. If his feelings for Billy have begun to dictate his actions it explains why he has lost interest in Tatum, feeling nothing when she dies. But, in sensitivity was very much something that was deemed un-masculine, as was attraction to men. Gayly Helpful.
