I’m seeing complaints that Pennywise in the It sequel kills and eats a gay man and taunts one of the principal characters whom is gay. Apparently Pennywise was some kind of gay icon before this movie’s release (who knew – apparently not me).
Rather than getting into whether or not it’s right or wrong for a monstrous, child-eating, child-torturing and child-killing FICTIONAL clown to engage in anti-gay violence in a movie?
I’m just going to point out that two real-life “monsters” – convicted serial killers John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer – were both gay or had gay tendencies (Gacy may have been bisexual or a closeted gay). Does this make them “enemies” or “allies” to the LGBTQ cause?
Do even our movie villains need to be “politically correct” now?

People are overreacting to it. Adrian doesn’t die because he’s gay. IT kills him because he was available. This political correctness garbage is a disease. Its like the feminists that complain about a woman dying in a film, but ignore the slew of men that are killed in their wake.
Yes it is ridiculous…and why oh why was Pennywise considered a “gay icon” in the first place? Was Judy Garland busy? SMH…
Right, I don’t get it. I know in the book It does reveal a female gender to Bills wife when he takes her captive. But IT is whatever it wants to be, which “I guess” is an icon for the LGBTQREDINMDINDNI community? I guess that goes with the entire ‘be what you want kind of vibe’ but making a child killing monster that represents all of the evil of humankind the icon for gays is worse than making Ed Gein one.
