Pretty much.
Yes, speculating here and places like datalounge, the l chat, lipstickalley.... is Fine as long as It doesn't Cross the border to places that the general public is... Like twitter for example... Or even worse...
Its worse when straight actors play gay and then get rewarded for it (Jared leto) or when you have shit like cmbyn (not gonna bother with that one here)My, what arrogance. Lol This is just delusional. You don't have special powers bud, get over yourself please. Plenty of gay and bi men exist that you could never clock.
The self hate is real. Wow. Truly Pathetic tbh. This is why the closet exists folks. Lol.
When alleged gay men on this very website would rather see straight actors play gay. We have lots of work to do. What actor wants to come out just to be instantly disregarded by ignorant people?Some of y'all don't even have support for your own community but then expect the straights to give it to us? Smh
I respectfully disagree. I think it's a testimony to their acting ability to convince the audience that they were the character they were playing because they embodied the role so well. Many people, myself included, still think Timmy Chalamet might be secretly queer because he did so well as Elio in CMBYN. It should only be offensive when they are portraying us as stereotypes that are demeaning and untrue (i.e. being predatory or riddled with diseases, etc.). These things could very well give the wrong impression to masses of what queer people are actually like and make it harder for us to find acceptance in society. The same goes for actors who play characters that are autistic. As long as the character isn't being portrayed in a derogatory manner for jokes and laughs, it shouldn't matter if the actor playing them is actually autistic or not. And yes, I understand the argument that there aren't enough roles for queer actors because of Hollywood's hidden homophobia, so queer characters should at least be played by queer actors. But you're fighting for the wrong cause. We shouldn't be fighting for queer roles for queer actors, but any role that any actor (queer or not) has the God given talent to embody and convince as authentic. Once upon a time, only service roles like the maid or the bellhop could be played by Black and Brown actors because once upon a time, service positions were employed mainly by people of color. But if you think those actors enjoyed being the unappreciated side character whilst their White costars were being given the roles of aristocrats and entrepreneurs, you're wrong. Acting is just make believe. It's an entire career based on pretending to be someone you're not, not someone you are. Feel free to disagree, but these are my personal feelings on the matter.
Tbh even twitter is fine. It's public, sure, but as long as you're not @ ing anyone or spamming fan hashtags or whatever I don't think it's an issue.
Well exactly. (I'm bi and autistic, so...)
I have an autistic friend, and she always says that she misses more austitic representation in media and on tv, hopefully this will change in the future
My wish is that the actor is good the sexuality is very Secondary
Comments like these amaze me. Gay celebrities don’t just get “caught” by the photographers. He could be bisexual or more likely he was doing it for publicity.
Your gay accusations that damage reputations are what's unnecessary and not for fun discussion.
How do posts on this site damage anyone's reputation? And saying someone is gay isn't an "accusation".
My, what arrogance. Lol This is just delusional. You don't have special powers bud, get over yourself please. Plenty of gay and bi men exist that you could never clock.

Like it or not but a lot of gay movies starring full blown gay actors end up flopping. Most audience want to see their hot straight matinee idols get in some hot romping action with other dudes, not some queer guy throwing girly tantrums in a movie. Yes, I'm talking about Billy Eichner if you're wondering!
Comments like this just reek of internalized homophobia. The fact that it's 2023 and you're connecting being gay with having a damaged reputation is why so many people still choose to stay closeted, them being celebrities or not.
