I totally agree with you. So what next l, no gay guy can play a straight man. Ridiculous.

The best actor for any role is the one who should get cast. Gay actors play straight roles, straight actors play gay roles. As long as they play them well and truthfully, surely that is all the matters. Actors play something other than themselves. That is their job.

Obviously well-intentioned but we are confusing giving equal opportunity to LGBTQ actors with sexism. LGBTQ people should play straight roles, straight people should play LGBTQ roles. This means more chance to LGBTQ actors since straight roles are more abundant.

Acting is all about A.) Getting out of your own ego and B.) Getting in touch with our shared humanity. The best actors can play any role. Hollywood definitely has a problem with their lgbt representation but I'm not sure this is the solution.

What a shame this idea is taking legs. Why can't the casting director just pick the best person for the role? Thank goodness Montgomery Clift or Rock Hudson never thought to play only gay characters. How much better would Cat on a Hot Tin Roof have been without Paul Newman?

I will support LGBT rights till the end of time, but this just reeks of trying to get in good with a particular group, or misguided intentions. Let's just give this dude his Mulligan on this statement.

Could this be that he in fact doesn’t want to be stereotyped as a gay character, which has served him well so far, anymore? I think this is more for his benefit rather than the gay community’s

That's an interesting idea. I would say no based on his history as an ally but you never know with celebrities.

Ones who rely on overt stereotypes. Give a message to the confused Directors.
