First of all: LOL @ pinknews and their stunning journalism as always.

Secondly... call me a bad homosexual but I’ve never considered straight actors playing LGB roles to be an issue at all. It seems like a made up problem for keyboard warriors to rant on Twitter about. Literally who cares. I’d rather the movie be well-acted so that it’s actually enjoyable and so that mainstream/straight audiences would be interested in our stories than casting some shitty actor just because they’re gay and have the movie bomb.

Edit: also, focusing on the sexual orientations of actors in LGB roles is not only invasive and weird but also seems like a good way to out people against their will. I think Lee Pace was literally outed in a similar manner to this.

They'll stop at nothing these actors. They'll wear costumes and everything.
