Noah Schnapp&#;s Coming Out Journey: The &#;Stranger Things&#; Star &#;Would Still Be Closeted&#; if Not for Will Byers Being Gay

Well my friends, it is June, which means it&#;s day for networks to prove how much they care about us through creating new LGBTQ+ programming, and I don&#;t mean just creating a &#;Voices of Pride&#; section on their primary interface that houses all the LGBTQ+ movies in their catalog as well as television they made and cancelled in the past.
Most importantly is that there will be a new season of The Ultimatum: Queer Love, and that will make everything else okay! Furthermore, I am recapping And Just Verb That&#; so if you enjoy witty captions, be sure to check that out.
