I don't mind straight actors playing LGB roles, provided they're respectful and not a parody or broad strokes stereotype. For example, James Corden in that new musical about lesbians is a nightmare.

Also, from what I remember, Lee Pace was outed by Ian McKellen, which was coincidentally the moment I stopped respecting that man; just because you're comfortably and openly gay, Ian, doesn't mean others are.

Ian did what?

I haven’t respected Ian McKellen since he began demanding that gays support the T, but if he did that, he’s sunk a new low. Which is a shame, because he was a good actor in Lord of the Rings.

That was highly careless of Ian McKellen to do that.

ohh ok. maybe it was someone else then idk. honestly i get all these male celebs and their stories confused. i thought matt bomer and henry cavill were the same person for the longest time and thought the superman actor was gay because of it lmfao.

Trust me, if they had a gay guy playing Superman, we'd definitely hear about it for months.

It was the Flash, I think, but they stopped talking about it surprisingly quick when they realised no-one gave a shit about a gay actor playing the Flash.

I kinda wish they had cast Matt Bomer because I really like him and I might have actually watched it if they had. I like Cavill in the Witcher but hes supposed to not have any emotions anyway. It sucks how much Bomer's career has tanked since he came out.
