straight actors / gay roles

[Kobi]

I'm not quite as concerned about who plays the lesbian/gay/transgender roles
as I am in the storyline reflecting the reality of our lives.

The Children Are Okay was not my favorite portrayal of lesbians -
lesbians using gay male porn as a sexual stimulant? A lesbian having hot
repetitive sex with a male? Seems to be reflecting more of male fantasies then it is of
lesbian lives, or lesbian motherhood.

While it might be sad for actors/actresses to have to hide their
sexuality for their careers, I think it is the illusion/perception/persona
that plays a big part in their success.

What this translates to in reality is perceived differently i.e.
I have no problem seeing Rupert Everett playing a straight guy,
but I have trouble taking Neil Patrick Harris serious as one.
Queen Latifah, in a straight or not role will always be hot
and credible to me.
