Pennywise the dancing clown, or Pennywise the closet homosexual clown?

Well, after The Babadook was mistakenly categorised in Netflix’s LGBT section, the antagonist from that film was taken in with open arms to the community.

They’ve even hooked him up with The Babadook…
I’m not entirely sold, but there’s going to be an It sequel. And who’s to say it won’t focus on him attending Pride and not returning back to Derry, Maine, to terrorise the children as grown ups?
