Does Hollywood Discriminate Against Gay Men? Gay Actor Weighs In

Published: Thursday 31st Aug 2017 by David

Before revealing he was gay the Hollywood player Colton Haynes soared towards success in a vehicle fuelled by a fan mostly made up of gay men.

His estimation below…

Haynes used the tweets above to reveal that he, much like Rupert Everett, had fallen out of favour with studios who will only enlist straight actors to portray straight characters.

Why? Their concern that straight women won’t spend money on movie tickets if they aren’t attracted to, or don’t think they stand a chance with, the male lead in a picture.
