Kalo Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 (edited) Huh, Jodie Foster is gay? And I'm pretty sure the Kristen Stewart stuff is just rumours. I believe them but they're just rumours. You didn't know Jodie was gay? what about Rupert Everett and Nathan Lane? they aren't exactly A-listers, but they are well known actors. and of course Ian McKellen, and Neil Patrick Harris.

The Futurist Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 There are a lot of gay actors in Hollywood but still no A list, some are famous but never the big stars. Strangely, in music, this isn t an issue. Tom Hardy hinted that he experimented in his youth I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 No.. Sorry to say, but as a teenager, even young adult, I never had a desire to have some dude give me a blowjob or was attracted to another male.. Amazing what different Generation's have an appeal for.. The more accurate question is: which male WOULD want to give you a blowjob? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Meow. I know people mostly think of movie stars, but Ellen is huge. This, pretty much. Kind of remarkable how she became so huge after being reduced to a pariah of sorts for a time after she came out. But this thread is about actors and she isn't really considered one today (her most recent movie is 2003's Finding Nemo and her next movie is...2016's Finding Dory). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShouldIBeHere Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) It is funny - or actually not so funny - how so many posts in such threads seem to be either some snarky or ironic joke or the prediciton of the threads' coming failure. And before someone has even tried to contribute to the discussion you can already read things such as "people are too easily offended nowadays". The reason it is almost impossible to discuss diversity (or similar topics) on the internet is not people getting too easily offended but the trolling even by normal people who tell everyone afterwards that it was just a joke and people should chill out. Imho it is certainly a topic that needs to be discussed in "liberal Hollywood". The example of Emma Watson's UN invovlement shows, however, how quickly people who do it will be attacked and offended in the most pathetic ways imaginable (especially online) - usually by trying to make the discussion about something else, by questioning the intentions and motivations of the people who bring it up, by labelling them and their supporters as extremists, elitists or simply people who cannot take jokes. The quote posted in the opening post I wouldn't sign... I simply dislike it when one minority or ethnic group is played out against the other. I was shocked during my work with young LGBTQ people how much prejudice there is even among them: gay people telling the more colourful people that it is them who make it so hard for "the normal gays", and the more colourful people telling those who are closer to what is perceived as an average person to be stuffy traitors. In Hollywood many people seem to like to speak on behalf of all these groups and their issues... but letting them speak for themselves is something many seem to have a problem with.

Jessie Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I am still waiting for an A list gay actor to emerge. And since Dicaprio and Bradley Cooper never officialized their relationship. Ian Mckellen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Its an important issue however throwing in diverse actors to simply fill a quota and to make them fulfill racial stereotypes is just as stupid. Rather have an all white cast then a random secondary black or Indian guy who talks funny. I like Fast and Furious as it works well and it looks natural. However I do sort of notice it.... Now to start a flame war... Nolans movies are like all white lol. Edited April 13, 2015 by Lordmandeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kind of problematic when Not Another Teen Movie has to call out on Hollywood bull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasts and Furiuos is basically the only racial and gender diverse franchise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmandeep Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Diverse roles have an impact on minority groups. As a kid seeing the Indian Actors in Indiana Jones Temple of Doom was a big deal for the community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
