Should gay characters always be played by gay actors?

Yes always

Ideally, but it’s not essential

No, who cares? It’s all fantasy

If the role is primarily about queer identity, yes, otherwise not necessary

Other nuance (leave a comment!)

I’ve seen a lot of (mostly straight) actors lately talking about how they don’t think they should play gay roles. As a queer person, my first response is ‘that’s stupid’, but then I think about queer actors being passed over for straight actors, that’s not okay, about does that mean gay actors can’t play straight? That’s stupid. Also what if I just really want to watch my favourite ladies kiss other ladies, and I have no goddam idea. What do the masses think? Reblog for reach?

“I’m not a writer or director, nor do I particularly want to be, but coming deeper into midlife, I’m interested in finding a collaborator where I don’t have to look for what I can fit into. There’s so much shit that doesn’t fucking fit me. Why should I try to jam myself into the canon? I’ve always felt outside of it. I’ll just create a new canon. I really want to be part of that.” --- Sandra Oh for British Vogue.

a tiny heist went down to rescue Rise and now he's being taken everywhere by Reid Wiseman because he's extremely important (he was supposed to be left on the craft, he has instead been adopted)

[the-bar-sinister]

Never be afraid to take your favorite plushie everywhere. If it's cool enough for an astronaut, it's cool enough for you.
