The Internet Is Trying to Make Pennywise The Clown A Gay Icon

The internet is full of strange and mysterious things and today is no different. Twitter has lit up with the notion that Pennywise the Clown from is really a gay icon who's dating the Babadook.

The internet has grown fond of making monsters from horror and assuming their LGBTQIA identity. Junes month of Pride was inundated with images of the Babadook after Netflix categorised the horror movie as a LGBTQIA film. Fans took it upon themselves to read the film as the Babadook's tale of "coming out".

Pennywise has surprisingly become a bit of sex symbol though, thanks to actor Bill Skarsgard who plays the sexy terrifying clown:

Others weren't so sure:

IT has grossed nearly 200 million since its release last week. The movie has already broken box office records, becoming one of the highest grossing horror films of all time within days of its release. A sequel is planned for release in 2019 and will be entitled IT: Chapter Two.
