This kind of attitude every time someone asks or suspects that someone is gay is still happening daily here in this and other places. They act like it's illegal to ask or even to be gay, it's like famous actors just can't be gay. This is one of the factors that make many actors not come out as gay, because there's always a group of people to defend their heterosexuality at any cost, even without knowing if they are in fact heterosexual, it's like he could lose fans, if they decided to come out gay.
It's really disappointing to see that not even within the LGBTQIA+ community, there is support among people.
