So is/was Will gay or not?

So much media focus on this question, but, in the end it's never decisively addressed.

In fact, I was getting mixed signals. At times, I thought he had a thing for Mike and was upset with Mike's relationship with El. Then, at times, I thought it was the complete opposite... he had a thing for El too, but was upset that his best friend was getting all her attention.

I thought that they did everything possible to imply that Will is A-sexual.

Flaming but no-one cares.

Being gay isn't edgy anymore.

I think Will is emotionally fragile. He's looking for some safety emotionally through Mike his friend, as well as El, potentially his sister.

I don't think he is gay. He's just a fragile person.
