Lukas Gage

He’s in ‘Overcompensating.’


Is basically a glorified cameo. I’m almost convinced if a show has any Gay themes, Lukas is contractually required to be in it. But good for him, or his team always making him a part of out and visible LGBTQ content.
 
Honestly, I rather LGBTQ+ actors be part of LGBTQ+ shows than straight actors (unless they're playing a straight character). It just makes more sense to me.

I still remember the days when a straight woman would be cast to play a trans woman (like Famke Janssen in Nip/Tuck), or Felicity Huffman in Transamerica. It's just not ideal.
