@CatholicXXX, And we’re supposed to believe that they are romantically involved! Lol

The obvious reason that he didn’t play gay roles before was pretty obvious. Fear. Fear of committing career suicide. Like Rupert Everett. I understand he has to now say PR nonsense of finding the “right role” but anybody with half a brain knows the truth. And who can really blame him. Homophobia was rampant in Hollywood, that’s how a classic like Brokeback Mountain lost the 2005 Best Picture Oscar to “Crash”. Pure homophobia. We are in a much better place than before but if a monster like Ron Duh-santis gets elected Prez, we are all in serious danger. Why do you think they waved Nazi flags alongside DeSantis signs outside of Disney, Bc the KKK see him as a grand wizard. And I don’t mean like in Fantasia.

I read the full interview on People, and Luke Evans was in the closet when he was playing all of those straight roles, most people didn’t even know he was gay. Straight actors got to play straight and gay roles, while gay actors were underrepresented in all leading roles, especially in film.

Luke was not in the closet when he was doing theater in London, but then when he started doing movies he went back into the closet, then came out again when that didn’t work.
He’s a really good actor and singer and I’m glad he can just be out now. I look forward to this, I love both him and Billy Porter!

Glad he’s comfortable playing a gay man now, but a shame it’s with that obnoxious queen Billy Porter

What an obnoxious conservative troll monty clift is.
