GLAAD Not Happy With Newsweek
Ramin Setoodeh of Newsweek penned a piece titled, “Straight Jacket: Heterosexual actors play gay all the time. Why doesn’t it ever work in reverse?” Which claims gay actors can’t play “straight” straight roles convincingly.
Which is a weak premise anyway, because some “actors” can’t play anything convincingly (Drew Barrymore comes to mind). Plus gays and gay actors have been playing straight roles since the advent of ostracism…a lot of them convincingly. Pretty limp idea for an essay.
