helllll yes I loved this response from Matthew Lillard at today's "Scream" NYCC panel about how his and Skeet Ulrich's characters are gay icons
Matthew: People approach us all the time like, "You are my queer awakening." And I just want to say that, for us, I think that it's super powerful that our relationship to these characters has nothing to do with being gay, but if it means something to a kid out there somewhere who's like, "Oh, I feel seen in this relationship," that it's important for us to hold that space for these queer icons. We were not doing queer on the day, but we're here for it 30 years later
Skeet: [puts his arm around Matthew] We're doing it now!
