Before discussing is Steve Harrington is gay or bisexual, let's have a glance at his dating history throughout the Netflix series. Joe Keery's character Steve Harrington has been a touch-starved character for the previous few seasons. The most recent season, if nothing else, shows that Steve is obviously interested in an old flame.
Steve has been looking for a romantic relationship by the end of Season 4. In Season 1, he used to be one of the most well-liked students and had his pick of casual relationships. Since leaving high school, he has had difficulty developing a genuine connection with anyone.
Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler were high school sweethearts in Season 1. They eventually part ways as Nancy develops feelings for Jonathan Byers. Although Steve and Nancy are still friends, Season 4 of Stranger Things almost showed a recurrence of his previous emotions.
Many of Steve's friends encouraged him to take advantage of the opportunity and try confessing to Nancy throughout the course of the season. But he fails to do so.
The relationship between Nancy and Jonathan has hit a rough patch as Steve speculates on his emotions. Jonathan regrets their decision to attend the same college and avoids speaking to her while they both get ready for college.
Nancy eventually grows impatient with him for not communicating. Steve might have possibly used the chance to talk about his renewed sentiments after Nancy was starting to have second thoughts about her current relationship. But at the end of Vol. 2, we see that Jonathan and Nancy reunite. But the show hints that Nancy might come back to Steve.

Therefore, Steve is neither gay nor bi. We've no idea how some fans even doubted his sexuality. However, we can assume from the recent revelation about Will Byer's sexuality that fans have been wanting to be sure about every character's sexuality.
Additionally, the Steve Harrington actor, Joe Keery, is straight in real life as well. He has been in a relationship with Maika Monroe (@maikamonroe) for a while now. Even though the couple prefers their relationship to be private, they are frequently spotted.
