Well... I dont know what is "worse" for the psychological effect. A straight actor playing a gay character and craving him for such (I can only bring Jack Falahee to my mind at this moment) or a gay actor playing a straight character and craving him equally for such... The moment I saw Brandy I thought he was a very sexy cute twink actor who I'd like as a potential partner... soon it was confirmed that he was actually a feasable desire for all of us. As for Jack, he actually had been "forced" to come out as straight, pretty ironic, isn't it?
