Didymus 34,379 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I do love though how first the argument was that no gay people are ever cast and that now, plenty of examples have been provided and people either just don't reply and leave the thread or change the topic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianni Versace 2,987 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 There's nothing wrong with what you want but it's a bit closed minded to expect all directors to cast minorities for the sake of casting minorities. It's all about their vision of the film Plus, I'm sure gay actors would love other roles to play. Only casting gay actors to play gay characters is pretty limiting as well. i agree with your second point but it's not really "for the sake of casting minorities" when the movie involves minorities, you know? i mean i'm not asking for gay people to play just any role, but when it's a role about gay people, i don't think it's too much to ask that a gay person play those roles more often than they do.

Lumi 3,512 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 On topic guys... It's interesting that this guy was given the gay star role out of nowhere considering he's a "disney star". Maybe this is his first step to come out ? JS + the rumors it kinda makes sense. Anyway I feel happy for him, he's at least trying not to stay as just another forgotten disney star. underneath the pine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"maybe it's because they AREN'T BEING BOOKED" @ someone who said they didn't know any gay actor. "LBGT people aren't being casted unless they're masc/ straight passing or closeted!!!" You did have a main argument though, but you also ignored the posts that proved these above statements wrong. My post was meant more for ARTPOPdidntflop though why what? Why should a director cast at least one gay actor in a movie about gays? You've been repeating that but you haven't given one good reason why and I already debunked the "disrespect" argument (which you ignored, of course).

Lucifer 1,987 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 if the movie is about gays, it's not wrong to want gay men in the actual movie. Obviously not wrong at all. Nobody has said that it is wrong. But it isn't any more right either. And why would it be more right? You are acting as if the casting crew are being disrespectful. Why? Besides, the article only reveals 3 of the casted actors. And you've already jumped to conclutions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been repeating that but you haven't given one good reason why and I already debunked the "disrespect" argument (which you ignored, of course). i'm sorry that i can't be bothered to reply to every single one of these posts. and that was clearly a joke but i see you took out the lmao emote to fit to your agenda and yes, my second statement was a little general and i'll give you that but you can't say it isn't true for the most part. it is harder for fem gays to get jobs because their roles are limited, which is why it's important that the roles that they can qualify for are open to them. i've said the answer to your question multiple times because representation is important. I like to know that there are gays (not only masc. or straight-passing ones but fem and colored ones) out there succeeding. that's why. i Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTPOPdidntflop 3,987 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 American Horror Story: Season 4 Episode 11, Neil Patrick Harris plays WHITE STRAIGHT and has s-x with a girl (or two ). The blasphemy, only straight roles should be played by straight people! Although, I am conflicted about the race thing. It's something to think about but I still feel it's okay because being gay isn't a culture, it's just a gender you have s-x with. You can act s-x but you can't really act a race. Did you really just name 1 example and then try to act like you dragged my post Neil patrick harris only came out a few yrs ago Gaga x Nicki x Azealia x Ariana x Kesha x Bey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yves 1,891 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 He's attractive.WHY DON'T THEY GET REAL GAY PEOPLE TO PLAY GAY ROLES IN FILMS????????? It's not like there aren't any gay actors available.They are actors. And I guess they're trying to win the female demographic by having a handsome straight guy in the film.
