talking w/a actor friend last nite - she was observing how mostly the male actors she rubs shoulders w/are gay and figuring pretty much that a good percentage of hollywood actors are prob gay then too
its compelling thinkin abt what this mass closeting means for the actors personally for their fans and the industry and indeed for the nation as a whole

Yes every actor ever is gay.

its interesting the line between and shared neurosis of the professional and personal closeting of a hollywood actor
like if brad pitt is gay hes obv going way further than necessary to hide his sexuality as far his professional needs goes
i wonder if for some of these guys they come in thinking theyll pass for straight in strictly a pr fashion but then it gets mixed up w/their desire for fame and identification w/their public persona and starts being all a little too real
― ice cr?m, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 15:50 (sixteen years ago)
It's always so sad to see a promising young performer sucked into the seedy underworld of the straight lifestyle. It's not PC to say this, but it must be told: they actively recruit, and they must be stopped.

I used to work in theater, and while it's true that overall it's a very gay community, I found that the ratio of straights:gays grows steadily as you climb the "actual talent" ladder and by the time you're talking about the really great actors then it's probably the same ratio as in the rest of the world. Well, maybe a little gayer. It is theater.

Maybe it's that "drama club" or "high school theatre" is a sort of de facto queerboys-and-fag-hags-are-welcome-here zone in high school. Some people think they're into acting when really it's just that the flamboyance of non-normative masculinity gets permitted when you're doing something that is supposed to be over the top expressive (loud, lots of arm movements, lots of emotion, verbal expression). Plus, you know, the um, obvious stuff about the closet itself effectively giving queers a headstart program in the identity-as-performance dynamic- they're used to roleplay as they have had to do some in order to avoid getting beaten up. I wonder if as queerness gets acceptable in younger and younger people if this whole over-representation in drama will dry up.
