DeleteMyAccount 11,881 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Again, I'm all for straights playing gay, but I've seen way too many parody roles in lifetime. You better be trying to get that Oscar or I can't take you seriously. It's not just about acting "ffs". It's about portraying people with genuine respect and quality. I'll wait for the conservatives to burn down Hollywood then they start doing the same with conservatives. Oh wait.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood needs to start creating roles that LGBTQ can play. And not just stereotypical roles.. Movies always need stars and there just happens to be more straight actors, but at the end of the day I would like to see more LGBTQ given roles considering how shitty mainstream media(film, TV) have portrayed LGBTQ for the past few decades. We deserve better. I've also seen straight actors try and get all method when preparing for gay roles. For example, Omari Hardwick playing gay. He played it up like it was some crazy role that he had to dig into his straight soul to play. Like is it that deep? Can't we just get LGBTQ actors to do it without that mess? I think that's a relevant point. I think Love Simon may be the gateway for this to happen. They normalized being gay, had some variety of “gay”, and got a lot of support. My only issues was the movie when he broek out into the musicaland then said “ok, maybe not THAT gay”. The only note that struck me weird. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard, however, to separate the art(acting) from the real person(straight or not). Like I mentioned in previous posts, I'm all for straight people playing gay. It's acting. But there's definitely a responsibility of the actor and especially the writer to not play a stereotype. There's way to much of that. Older films loved playing with gay tropes for humor. But now we've reached a point where it's not funny and we need gay characters that can actually progress a storyline instead of relieving tension. We're getting there.
