“The GOP motto--keep 'em dumb. They are easier to control that way!!”

“Right on. Sadly, I think it's straight and gay men and women who are all to blame here -- they're doing test-marketing and allowing that to overrule their morality. Most of them are in contact with gay men all the time, and few people in Hollywood are anti-gay. But the fear of seeming "out of touch" makes them behave shamefully.”

“gay men, pretending to be straight..­.”

“I think because it's considered a "meaty role" so to speak, for a straight actor to convincingly pull off being gay. Of course, many of them really are gay, but they get the props for playing it very well.

I would have loved to see Rupert more. He's a fantastic actor, gay or straight, he's simply talented and a sexy guy. I loved him in the mini series "Princess Daisy" and he's great in all those period pieces. Anyway....­..........­. he's totally right.”

“Because gay men fantasize about straight men as much as heterosexual women do, and to see them in a gay role would fulfill their fantasies.”

“so that straight women can watch them in those roles and still croon for them.”

“Yeah..that might be an exaggeration on my part but I'd bet on at least 2/3 of Hollywood being gay.”

“That would be quite an amazing statement and would cut out at least 2/3 of the history of film and theatre.”

“The problem I think is the cult of personality. It's not enough that we have good films with good actors. We, as a culture, have to obsess over actors as a celebrities, follow their personal lives like they belong to us. Most just give in letting themselves be celebrities. A few with solid integrity, like Jodie Foster, find a way to keep their private lives private. Of course we gave Jodie permission after a nut case used obsessing over her as an excuse to try and kill a president. Are we as a culture only willing to let good actors have real private lives only if someone stalks them and then commits a horrid crime? All the rest have to not just act for us but live their lives for us?

If we were only interested in good acting and didn't need to expose their private lives, then this all would be moot. Actors could be out in their private lives and the rest of us wouldn't know or care, anymore than we would about their religion, their lovers, their children, and their homes.

But we do have a culture that is into the cult of personality and an actor does need to seriously consider if being in the closet might be better for his or her career. Those of us who are GLBT or allies need to respect them, I think, if they chose to be discreet.”

“99.9 % of "straight" actors in Hollywood are actually in the closet.”

“Do you really believe 99% are straight?

They'll screw anything in Hollywood.”

“Yesh, one role every three years played by one British actor at a time. Clealry we're up to our necks in British film roles”

“Super ... that's ONE film no more frequently than every three years and no more than one British actor portrays him at a time. Perfect argument. We're clearly drowning in roles for actors with Brit accents, because of the Bond series. (eyes rolling)

Can anyone argue a point on this site?”

“Hahaha, you liberals think you have waaay more power than you actually do.”

“I agree. Where do we start the petition?”

“"All churches who are politically active need to have their tax exempt status revoked. On second thought, let's just revoke them all."

NOOOOO! PLEASE NO! If we did that, it would just give more ammunition to the people who want religion taught in public schools. The churches would say "we pay taxes now, so we want something back."”

“You have been fanned and faved!”

“Go ahead and try, there isnt a pol in this country would even attempt that.”

“Regrettably, this is not the best example. There are many, though. AND the post was supposed to be a reply to "TheAntiOkie Posted 01:31 PM on 12/02/2009". It is more appropriate to that thread.”

“Maybe because people are going to assume the mother maliciously smothered the infant. A headline reading Mother Accidentally Smothers Infant won't get nearly as many hits.”

“Indeed!”

“aleininvader:

lol....no tit for tat: only fit for fact”

“their plan has worked I see it every day !!”
