‘Scream’ star Matthew Lillard opened up about the relationship between his character, Stuart “Stu” Macher, and Skeet Ulrich’s character Billy Loomis while speaking at a panel at the Silver Scream Convention in Worcester, Massachusetts.
After being asked about the fan-theory that Billy and Stu were ‘queer-coded’ Lillard proudly declared “We are the first husbands of horror.”
He continued by showing his love for the theory, stating that “There’s a lot of hatred in the world right now. And I love standing up and saying we are the first gay couple ever in a horror movie, and there’s nothing they can f*cking say about it. You can’t touch it, you can’t take it away.”
He then went on to send his support to any young fans by saying “So, I don’t know, if there’s a little gay kid out there going ‘Oh my god!’ we see you, we love you.”
