Read our review of The Whale here om an obe gay man. ” The ment may or may not have been a dig at gay anchor Don Lemon’s sistence that a woman is past her prime when she reach her forti. Host Jimmy Kimmel got a dig about gay Republin ngrsman Gee Santos and Nile Kidman’s mpy AMC mercials, while Daniel Scheert said drsg drag was “a threat to nobody” while acceptg the prize for directg Everythg Everywhere All at Once.

It’s largely been overlooked that director Sarah Polley’s Women Talkg featured a transgenr character, and gay actor Ben Whishaw plays a non-toxic and possibly queer-d male. Stephanie Hsu is fally up for bt actrs a supportg role, as is honorary gay Jamie Lee Curtis for her chaotic role as Deirdre Bebeirdre.

” On LGBTQ+ Natn, the headle reads: “The Amy Still Lov Nomatg Straight Actors for Gay Rol. That’s why the “straight actors gay rol” crique, while still an overarchg ncern I have, don’t still que the same fire me that I thk ed to. Who am I to clare who’s a straight actor a gay role?
