Anyone care to enlighten me? It makes sense when it’s writtin plainly. Gay and queer actors getting more work, nothing bad about that. But this is usually whines about by upity lgbt members so the issue becomes a joke. One Banned Boi Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to enlighten me? representation to put it plainly. imagine if black panther for example had came out and all the cast was white but portraying themselves with "black" qualities when the characters are clearly black africans and black actors exist. now replace black and white with straight and gay.

Anyone care to enlighten me? Cuz there are tonnes of unemployed out LGBT actors who specifically do not get jobs because they are out/openly LGBT. It's like Hollywood saying "We won't employ you, but we'll exploit your struggle for money". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short version: it’s annoying it's annoying me asking a question? that seems a bit silly i'm only stating something that's largely facts, most LGBT central movies are portrayed and written by people who arent nor truly understand the lgbt experience whether they're allies or not, not a single mainstream lgbt focused movie has ever REALLY been good or true to life if we're honest and i'm asking IF or WHEN do people think we're getting a movie that's made by LGBT people for LGBT people that's all.
