As other people said, he wasn't out yet when anything was written, so if they wrote it him as gay because they suspected Noah was gay, that may be seen as a little concerning, but it also might have helped him come out, which might have been their intent. Either way it's not the same as Viktor, whose transition was written after Elliot came out. I think you're reading bad faith intent into the Stranger Things decision, but I can tell you're pretty edgy and insensitive for waving off the Umbrella Academy decision as the writers thinking they're so clever and woke, so you probably don't care.

My understanding is that they pretty much always had the idea of having at least one of the kids be gay from literally their initial pitch onward, so yeah, probably the decision didn't have anything to do with Schnapp himself being gay (closeted or not)

The character of Will Byers was always written to have sexual identity issues. See the original ST show pitch here: http://www.zen134237.zen.co.uk/Stranger_Things/Stranger_Things_-_Bible.pdf
