So they perceived the clown to be homophobic but can't bring themselves to utter the real bigotry and have to call it "antiqueer"

I like how they somehow come around to blaming the clown's homophobia on... Trump. I feel like this is the end result of pushing profoundly stupid people through college. They gain a lexicon of terminology to describe chaotic and fictional worlds they believe are real.

I love the premise that the evil clown demon was somehow presumed to be gay, and it's disappointing that the evil clown demon is not gay.

Why would an evil clown demon who feasts on nightmares be so homophobic? The mind boggles. Trump did this.

I don't know if I said this but if they did blame pennywise killing the gay couple on Trump it would be right on brand for both original author(Stephen King) and script writers. The only person I've seen with worst tds is my mother and I still feel loathe calling her that.

Does nobody realise that plotline is straight from the book, which had come out almost 30 years prior to this movie.
