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.'

Comments:

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.

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.

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

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.

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 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said even as the vaccine reaches more people, the seven-day average of cases has risen for four straight weeks and remains above 60,000 per day. Officials are particularly concerned about the prevalence of the fast-moving B.1.1.7, or “U.K.,” variant in the states. “Cases are increasing nationally and we are seeing this occur predominately in younger adults,” CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said.
