Gay Hollywood actors are keeping their sexuality secret as they fear it will destroy their careers and stop them being cast in straight roles, Kate Winslet claims. The Oscar winning actress said she was aware of 'at least four actors' who weren't making their sexuality public as they were 'terrified' it will 'stand in the way'. Winslet, 45, told The Times' Culture Magazine: 'I cannot tell you the number of young actors I know—some well known, some starting out—who are terrified their sexuality will be revealed and that it will stand in the way of their being cast in straight roles.'

Uh, um,..............it's called acting. You know, pretending to someone or something that you're not.

Nothing new. Rock Hudson comes to mind. Montgomery Clift. Even Kevin Spacey for a while...

Gay actors know they will not be accepted in some roles. Rock Hudson knew if he was outed as being gay his days of romancing Doris Day were over. Actors real lives matter.

Utter hogwash. Practicing homosexuality or simply declaring that one does so is a mark of honor and prestige to these people. These are people who proudly declare themselves to be the opposite sex which is as open an admission of madness as there is so a confession of mere sexual deviancy is no big deal. It seems to be hallmark of degenerates that they must present themselves as downtrodden and oppressed in order to gain sympathy. The fact is that degenerates and lunatics are dominant in the culture and there is nothing risked by those who proudly proclaim themselves as such.

So on the outside you say that trans is okay, gay is great, gender is a myth, sexuality is fluid, we love everyone no matter how kinky they are. BUT you cannot play that person in a movie or play unless you are 100% what ever nut job they are promoting. Your talent as an actor is no longer a consideration for a movie part. If you ain't gay you don't play etc. But on the inside, oh on the inside you are in turmoil. Speak up on the stupidity of it all and never work again, try and hide and hope no one ever finds out and decides to cancel you. You are being bitten in the ass by your own stupid beliefs that you really don't believe in. Karma.

Fear from whom? The average everyday American doesn't decide who gets what part in Hollywood. We don't care. Just do your job.

I personally don’t care if another new film is ever made! I am truly sick and tired of the communist and corrupt scum that infests most of Hollywood! These trained monkeys seem to think that we cannot live without them! Nothing could be further from the truth!

As she ages, she looks like an angry guy. Maybe she should try out for some of those roles.

Horse hockey. The last straight Hollywood type was Harvey Weinstein and look what they did to him.

My thoughts are that Hollywood no longer cares whether the American audience sees a K actor or not. They have a new audience now and it is in China and they know that Chinese are not forgiving of homosexuality. American audiences have been dumped. It’s all about China now

Lies. Any LGBTQXYZ who’s still in the closet is a coward and a disgrace to the movement. What about gay pride? What’s there to hide? Just more whining and complaining from millionaires who hate normies. It warms my heart to know that they’re miserable being gay. LOL.

Straight actors are no longer able to play gays. Turnabout is fair play.
They wanted equality and they ought to get it good and hard.

Oh cry me a river Kate... what spoiled pampered poodles. This isn't 1950. NOT being gay in Hollywood is far more detrimental to one's career.

I lived in Hollywood. Straight male actors are the exception. Yea......and many hide it. Primarily because they wont get those straight action hero roles by swishing and lisping across the set.

This sounds serious. Congress, the President, maybe the Supreme Court or all of them should pass a law or something. Better yet, investigate Trump. I'm sure he had something to do with this.
Seriously, I can see why England is concerned about this. Half their actors are over here taking American roles from Americans.

You can bet it did not take her long in Hollywood to figure out who is who and their sexual proclivities.

I used to drag my husband to one movie a year, and it usually involved either "Iron Man" or "Dead Pool".
I finally gave up and went over to his way of thinking, which is clearly "Hollyweird Bad!!!!". And we haven't been to a movie in over 4 years now. Don't see that trend changing with the freak show that Hollyweird just seems to become more and more every year!!!

Hollywood is about make-believe. It's also about making money. Those actors are more than happy to go along with the charade if it brings in the dough. They know what they're signing up for.

John Wayne, Robert Mitchum et. al. are laughing.
So are Clint, Arnie, Selleck and quite a few others, but they still either need or want to work.

I don't watch Rock Hudson movies for just this reason. How can anyone watch a homosexuals kissing an actress and not get sick? Do the actresses wonder what he has on his breath when he kisses them.

This is garbage. In pagan Hollyweird, it's more dangerous to admit one is Christian.

Please stop, Kate -- you're making me laugh so hard I can't breathe. Gay Hollywood actors are afraid to come out? Suuuure; and Latino Catholics are afraid to be seen making the sign of the Cross on themselves.

I was shocked a few years ago tha he actor who playe the role of Jimmy Olsen on the Adventures of Superman in the 50's was gay. I see that show is runnng. The same with Tommy Kirk on the 50's Disney serial. I still will watch. Neither of those people spouted or acted gay in anyway. In todays world, you see obvioulsy gay actors in shows and commericals.

The same leftists who demand that roles can be played by people who match the part (even down to the absurdity of demanding that only Indians can do Indian cartoon voices on the Simpsons) pretend not to be homosexual in order to steal roles that rightly would go to heterosexual actors. No one said Marxism had to make any sense; you just have to go with the flow like a "log" down the sewer pipe. Also, given how morally sick Hollywood is these days, you'd think being homosexual would put actors at the head of the line.
