R4: The problem wh gay rol will be solved if om time to time they will st an openly gay actor, and there are a lot, some very good, but no HW ref to st a gay actor a ma role (gay or straight). If gay actors will get that type of role om time to time there won't be any urse i thk gays are probably the group that put ls prsure to that kd of reprentatn, i remember a thread here mentg about the adaptatn of Days whout end and most people thought would be great if they st Lus Hedg and Timothee Chalamet for the rol, so people is not that eager for gay actors gettg any proment gay roleAnyway, actg is pretendg to be someone you are not.
