We had this conversation with my agency-I believe it’s only a matter of wanting to make sure stories about gay people are being told with actors who authentically understand that experience. The same for transgender characters. I don’t know if I agree that a straight person can’t tell a gay person’s story. But I think this is a correction until there is truly equity, especially with regards to representation.
Creative team isn’t just the writers. It’s also the producers, the designers, etc.
Starting a dialogue is a good thing. It’s how we start to fix these inequities. So, thank you for inviting that discussion. ❤️🌈
The reason it doesn’t go both ways is because it doesn’t need to flow towards the group who holds the power. They already have opportunity and access.
My first show at the Kerr was Gem of the Ocean. He was such a lovely man.
The first step is admitting you have a problem….

Very.
I am gay, and I do love Barbra as well.
Love my Barbra!
I love the Oscars but they have had a very problematic history.
I very strongly disagree! I love the Bradley Cooper/Lady Gaga A Star Is Born. Uh! 😜
We always welcome different opinions!
