Now that the fourth season of the Netflix Original is out, and we have seen a lot of Steve Harrington this time around, his entire fanbase is out looking for Steve content.

We have seen Steve be a great friend and supporter to Robin, who just opened up about her sexuality. Steve truly was the best LGBTQ+ ally that Robin could have asked for. Not to mention the adorable relationship he has had with Dustin ever since the duo first connected in Season 2. Steve and Dustin are indeed the best duo from the Netflix show, and that is not at all debatable.
