Omsk, Some if the message boards on this site really are funny. What the heck does sexual orientation matter in 2016? I've been gay neon 30 years and some people say oh I didn't think you were whilst others have said oh yeah I could tell right away...either way it has no direct impact as sexual orientation is only one aspect of my overall persona I much prefer hearing people say they like me because they find me a 'nice' person or friendly or caring et al....these are some of my more favourable attributes - though I can be grumpy or sometimes even aloof if someone gets shirty with me - I am only a person afterall but I must convey I'd like to think the person I am in this world is not defined simply by the sex of the person with whom I choose to sleep next to. If Hollywood big wigs can't see past that aspect in this day and age then it's high time they were held to account for continually invoking practices that simply uphold bigoted perspectives - it is enlightening, yet simultaneously leaves me bewildered to read this actually still occurs in such a profession especially considering these people are the names and faces that serve to draw us mere minions away from mundane life to and to journey into albeit short spell of 'escapism' that is often mesmerising to watch on screen as an intrigued onlooker...reading sexual orientation of a letdown can, in this day and age still limit professional advancement in any working field is just as harsh as turning a blind eye to bullying and hate crime so it beggars belief to hear this and is a sad day to think in 2016 people in their chosen profession are perhaps consciously choosing to refrain from discussing sexual orientation preferences for fear it might thwart further advancement to; like it has been mentioned, say not being cast a lead role.....isn't the acting supposed to be focussed on convincing the audience the person they purport to be and the character attributes they portray are such that it leaves any audience member enraptured, so much so that, said audience, are left enthralled in the actual story being screened? Seems this is perhaps a naively written perspective from a mere minion who actually enjoys escaping the real world to watch a film; be it syfy, horror, comedy, drama and the like where I would rather focus on the story line as opposed to the actual actors' sleeping partner. I am glad he has the strength to stand up not to be counted per se, but to enjoy what life has to offer and make a conscious choice to not ket his sexual orientation actually define him and if the powers that be cannot recognise their bias in today's world then clearly the problem lays solely with them and their defunct Neanderthal policies - and if the latter is anything to go by owrhaps in the not too distant future that will gradually whittle away to a mere 4% of the populous too hehe.
