Montgomery [[https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/stranger-things-star-addresses-characters-possible-racism_us_59f168b5e4b0af27f58996ce apparently]] doesn't think his attitude is based on racism or being in the closet. I can't find a source by the Duffer brothers that reflects the same sentiment (if anyone's got one though, please share!), and apparently the humanizing scene with his father was at Montgomery's suggestion. That points to WordOfSaintPaul, not WordOfGod. If we follow this, the AmbiguouslyBi entry should also be removed.

Even besides that, though, I'm of the opinion that an actor's opinions don't automatically invalidate what comes across onscreen, and I believe at the very least, it can be listed with

->\"Yeah, I don’t know. To me this comes across as Montgomery not wanting to be portrayed as playing a racist character in this current…climate, shall we say. I think this may be his own interpretation rather than the writers/showrunners’ interpretation. If Billy said something like “You shouldn’t be hanging out with boys” that would ring true more, but in that scene he seems to be specifically singling out Lucas purely because how he looks.\"
Finally, I assumed everyone in the main characters page was listed because they were billed as main, but upon checking cast listings, so are Matthew Modine (Brenner), Cara Buono (Karen), Sean Astin (Bob), and Paul Reiser (Owens). Since these aren\'t really in the core monster-hunting ensemble either and Brenner, Owens, and Bob contribute more to the narrative than Billy, I also support moving him to the secondary characters page.
