I Just Realised Will's Coming Out Was Also His Self-Eulogy...
Dustin talks about the bridge being held together by exotic matter, represented by the circle on the diagram.
Then later we see Will with his head aligned with the exotic matter circle represented in the diagram.
Then after his talk with Max, her comment about everyone having something they're scared of (Henry with the cave, Will's sexuality) is what motivates him to finally come out to his mom and the whole party.
And later in the coming out scene, Max clocks this when Will talks about Vecna being able to look into their minds and use their insecurities against them.
But what nobody clocks is what Will really means when he tells the party that he needs to be in the Upside-Down while El fights Vecna...
Because Will is planning to sacrifice himself to destroy the exotic matter.
Now it makes sense as to why Will came out to everyone instead of just Joyce and Mike. Not only because he wanted the truth to be out in the open so it couldn't be weaponised by Vecna, but so he could finally be honest about himself for the very last time.
Now it makes sense why he assumed Mike "wasn't like him" and was just, 'his Tammy' when he still hasn't directly talked to Mike about his feelings. By this point, he had seen no hope for a future with Mike and even though he loved him, he was ready to let him go.
At the beginning of 'The Bridge', Will blames himself for being Vecna's vessel. Blaming himself for being weak and controlled.
But even after he's came out, he still holds onto that guilt. If he destroys the exotic mass, even if it costs his life, he thinks it will compensate for digging the tunnels and everything that's happened to him under Vecna's possesion.
Will isn't afraid anymore because he's came out. He's not afraid anymore because he's ready to die.
