I’ve seen a lot of gay people not happy with this casting. Shouldn’t it be the best person for the role? Nick Robinson, who is straight, was amazing in Love, Simon. Timothée Chalamet, again straight, was nominate for an Oscar for playing bisexual in CMBYN.
Really @Disney #JungleCruise ? Your first significant gay role will be played by a straight white man perpetuating stereotypes? Fail! This ship should sink.https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/anger-as-straight-man-jack-whitehall-gets-homosexual-role-t5xc655kj …

You’re 100% right. My point: For a company and brand that speaks primarily to youth, Disney had an opportunity to give queer kids an authentic reflection of themselves to see on TV and role model to look up to in real life. Not the self-professed stereotyping we’re told to expect

You do realise it’s called acting right? It’s not real-life.

Hey, whatever next? Santa is not real?

Politically correctness strikes again. It’s all about ticking boxes these days even if you’re an actor. Of course life should imitate art so they should be the appropriate people. Who needs actors anymore. No complaints if a gay person plays a straight persons role though..

Gay roles are few and far between in Hollywood, and when they do come up, straight people are invariably cast, because it makes people more comfortable. The lack of visibility and authenticity is the problem. We know what acting is.
