Will & Grace Creator Max Mutchnick: (Bad) Gay Actors Still Not Welcome In Hollywood

But I have denied actors jobs because they suck. … There is no blacklist that forbids gay actors from playing straight roles. Convince us you’re in love with her and we’ll hire you. And I promise we won’t care who you’re cuddling up with when you’re off camera.
