Talking about stuff like this is always chaos.
Straight people and bi people alike seem to overlook the fact that being an out gay guy in Hollywood can reduce the amount of roles you’re offered, often significantly, and that beards have long existed for gay men.
Gay guys are so eager to have someone on our team that we can ignore the men who swing both ways.
“Who’s to say?” is the question, but the person being discussed isn’t always reliable on that when there are consequences for being honest and open.
We need to get real with ourselves about how complex and fraught such conversations are. There’s often not a really good answer.
