Movie takes place in the 90's. Openly gay couples would be a rare sight.

The modern day takes place in 2016 and I doubt these viewers were groaning over historical inaccuracy anyway

Apparently it's a scene directly from the book that was written in the 80s so

I won't stand for this. Lets round up the twitter mob and make trouble for each and every single person who groaned. @QueenCarly are you with me?

Announcing that they're gay is just a spoiler for the rest of the movie. Obviously they have to survive the movie or Pennywise would be called homophobic and he can't handle that.

It's really unfortunate seeing how many people get upset when they see lgbt characters existing in media

But when being straight in movies is thrown in our faces -- which has been happening forever -- it's not overbearing?

Used to live in that area. There was almost no openly gay people im high school they all waited till graduating to come out. Very redneck area if I remember correctly

Yeah it is

And that scene in the book is based on a real life murder that happened in 1984.

Which doesn't change that gay people still exist and should be represented in media because that's just life.

It wasn't most of the audience. Just like a handful. Heard it behind me at the exact moment something happened on screen.

Oh so you can throw your sexuality in everyone's face if you're the majority? That doesn't seem to jive with the arguments people make when knowing someone is gay makes them uncomfortable.

Surely they aren't being hypocrites and surely their real issue isn't minorities or things that make them feel icky being visible.

Why do all these straight people need to make their relationships visible in public? No one needs to know you have a significant other. They don't need to see you out on a date. Co-workers don't need to hear about what they did with their spouse last weekend. Why do straight characters need to have implied romantic feelings for others? Sexuality is personal. Keep it in the bedroom.
