Slow news day, is it?

Dilemma: Either 1) have homosexual characters appear regularly in movies and TV shows, or 2) have homosexual characters only played by real homosexuals. It's statistically impossible to have both -- they'll have to choose one or the other.

In which case LGBT actors should not be cast in cis roles. I can imagine the uproar in LGBT circles if that happens. But discrimination against straight actors doesn't seem to be wrong.

So gay actors have never played straight people?

Are you distracted ?

Let’s not bite . Oops we just did . Dam it . It’s deliberately silly to distract us from anti democracy around you !

It’s called acting LOL not reality TV

Happy to take any lesbian role on offer 👍🏻

Oh this is utter nonsense! Enough! I'm exhausted of this conversation. It's called 'acting' and pretell acting is a form of art, entertainment, reference, methodology and implementation. By no means shall anyone be criticized for doing such especially for this.

Even under the stupid rule's of equality and diversity we are supposed to be able to give job's to people best able to do the job required !

… surely they can use LBGT stand-ins for the sex scenes?

Whether gay or straight, acting is about pretending, sexually or otherwise.

Gay actors have always taken straight roles.

However, you are correct🧡

Only straight people can play straight people then. Or would that be prejudice?!?

Isn’t acting pretending to be something you’re not? I’m pretty sure all the actors who used to be on the Bill aren’t really cops. Maybe GrahamcoleAct can confirm this

Can only serial killers play serial killers? Come on... grow up.
