Right-wgers argue Hollywood ph s gay agenda on the untry wh shows like Glee. Behd the scen, the dtry is filled wh openly gay people, and straight movie stars who "urageoly" take on gay rol are often hailed wh awards and aclas.

So why then, a place like that, do takg on a gay role still have such a powerful stigma for so many? When stg my films, I don't ever ask (and ually don't re), if the actors playg the rol of gay men are gay or not real life.

Though I like stg gay actors those parts, what's most important is that they n portray the role believably. Once, I st an actor a lead role who I was nvced was gay bee he pulled off so well.
