The beginning of the film had upset many members of the LGBTQ community, due to a gay character ending up being brutally attacked by local teenagers and then brutally murdered by Pennywise. Some people have mentioned that the scene had happened in the original novel as well and it was meant to show how bad of a place Derry truly is. Also, not only did this scene appear in the novel, it was based on a true story. In 1984, Charlie Howard, a gay man, was killed by a group of teens in Bangor, ME. Howard was thrown off the State Street Bridge into the Kenduskeag Stream canal, where he drowned.
