Straight Actor Grossed Out By The Thought Of Playing Gay Guys
Actor and columnist Nicholas Brown wrote a piece for The Atlantic about how he auditioned for a role in an AIDS PSA and got skeeved about having to play a homo.
The Atlantic (via Queerty):
I am not gay. I have no shortage of gay friends. My uncle is gay. I've marched in a gay pride parade. More than half of the roommates I have lived with are gay. I support marriage equality.
So it comes as a shock to me when I realize that, actually, if I am honest with myself, I'm not comfortable with kissing another man on camera. I really don't want to book this part.
I don't want people to think I'm gay. And I'm even more uncomfortable because that isn't a thought that I want to have.
Oh, the violins. My people thank you.
I, at least, am sorry. You don't have to believe in a Judeo-Christian god to find something redeeming in confession. I am sorry that I balked at the idea of pretending to be gay. I am sorry that my uncle went home alone all those years. I am sorry for the whole ugly human history of slights and hate crimes and exclusion.
Easy there, Matyr Mike. Can someone collect my eyeballs because they've rolled right the fuck out of their sockets. Do you have any idea how quickly I'd move away from this bitch at a party? I'd rather go to a Fred Phelps rally. At least those inbreds are honest about it.
That's fine that you're freaked out about being typecast as gay or women thinking you're a rough rider in real life. Legit fears, I guess. But this is a dumb bitch because everyone in Hollywood is gay, right? Don't gays run the entertainment industry? THere wouldn't be one without the cock fans. Nick here just posted the acting hopeful equivalent of telling a prospective employer on a job interview that you have a tendency to openly masturbate in the printer room. You're going to get stuck doing commercials for Christian Mingle and thats going to be it. Oh, who am I kidding. Everyone's gay over there, too.

I'm sure there are people who would disagree but you don't count gladyslove banned troll #87!

Many people would disagree with you.
For heterosexuals, it is a biological reaction.
Seeing people of the same sex exchange intimate gestures and having an immediate negative reaction is not being bigoted. It is the instinct of male to be attracted to female and female to be attracted to male for the purpose of continuing on the species. I think it is as basic as procreation. We are not that different from animals.
Poop. Just sayin'.

I also find the sight of men kissing each other to be physically revolting. That is a purely normative biological reaction heterosexuals would have to the sight of abnormal sexuality.
-----------------------------------------------
It isn't a "normal" reaction...you're a bigot!
It's not like you're watching "gay porn" by watching 2 dudes "kiss".
I'm a gay man and have zero problem with watching 2 chicks "kiss" or a guy and girl "kiss". I'm not into it at all but it isn't like I am watching "porn" by seeing 2 people kiss for fuck sake.
Even though things are RAPIDLY getting betting in the U.S. for GLBT people I still have to laugh at assholes like you who basically equate a same sex kiss to "PORN"....and yes you do!(shut the fuck up and go fuck yourself!)

Ah Poopele...you speak the truth. Great comment.

In the same way, when I see Barack Obama speak, or Sheila Jackson Lee, or Maxine Waters speak, or John Conyers speak, or Cornell West speak, I realize I am listening to an idiot with a low IQ. That is the normal reaction someone with an high IQ would have.
It's just not polite to speak about it in this post 1984 propaganda new-speak world.

I can't answer for Sarah, but I can say that all that "Hope" is working fine for me. I'm making more money than when Bush was in office. However, I'm not on Social Security, which Congress wants to gut instead of raising income taxes on the wealthy.

That said, being a homophobe didn't hurt Marky Mark's career. He was the one who said he always talks to his priest before accepting a role, and that's why he turned down Brokeback Mountain.
Submitted by Kukai-manini on Sun, 12/30/2012 - 4:58am.
Mark Wahlberg and Joaquin Phoenix were chosen to be in Brokeback Mountain. Both actors felt uncomfortable with the intimate scenes and both turned the roles down. Probably happens more than is publicized.
--------------------------------------------
Mark Wahlberg was never "chosen" to be in Brokeback Mountain and didn't "turn it down".
Director Ang Lee met with him about him possibly being in the movie but Ang Lee wasn't interested...
http://www.starpulse.com/news/index.php/2007/02/28/brokeback_mountain_sc...
That being said Mark Wahlberg is an all around bigot and worthless sack of shit...
Growing up he was arrested many times for things like throwing rocks at black kids on a school field trip and attacking a Vietnamese man and leaving him permanently blind in one eye.
He's doing famewhoring wrong. He needs to kiss a dude and THEN go on a media tour talking nonstop about how difficult it was and what a sacrifice he made for his part.
First of all, all that nonsense of having a gay relative and friends, and being in favor of marriage equality? And he's a actor? My guess not a good one. I have the highest respect for a actor to do a intimate scene with someone not of their orientation (especially porn movies). If he is so uncomfortable, maybe he should just quit acting. The only job he would be able to do now is probably PSAs for DOMA, AFA, or even WBC. And also, even if I saw this PSA that he was in, and then walked on the same sidewalk as him, I probably would not recognize him.
Never heard of him, and this seems like a non-story. So he's not comfortable kissing a dude....big deal. If a gay actor had come out and said "I'm just really not comfortable kissing a woman on screen" no one would've batted an eye.
Seriously. This is not news.

I don't see what's wrong with him supporting gay rights without wanting to be perceived as gay himself. This is a straight man and his sexuality is part of his identity. Should we expect everyone who supports the rights of minorities to fully identify with a certain minority group themselves? A little empathy is all that's needed to make this world a better place for everyone. By insisting you are not gay you are not denying someone else's right to be so.

He looks like Thomas Jane in that pic, who ironically enough, was a gay-for-pay hustler when he was young and recently made some borderline homophobic comments at the peak of his career.
J Harvey is right, letting this be his claim to fame is the wrong way to have an acting career. It's basically a troll move.
That said, being a homophobe didn't hurt Marky Mark's career. He was the one who said he always talks to his priest before accepting a role, and that's why he turned down Brokeback Mountain.

I would love to have some of y'all's avatars as bumper stickers. The "Jesus Fucking Christ" one would definitely get my car egged or keyed.
-------------------------------------------
Not only would I NEVER put my "JFC" avatar on my bumper but I wouldn't even put a "Human Rights Campaign" sticker on my bumper(it's just a blue square with 2 yellow lines) for fear my car would get keyed or worse. I live in a pretty progressive state that is always "blue" and recently defeated a proposed constitutional amendment on banning gay marriage. I live in the city so I don't worry about about rural Jesus hicks coming after me but I do worry about those jesus freaks messing up my car when I'm not around!
......................................
That figures.
I drive some very nice cars and always have at least one very pithy anti-Obama bumpersticker or anti-socialism sticker or a pro life sticker. Not once has my car been keyed. Sometimes I get flipped off but so what? If you have beliefs, you should be willing to put up with that; in fact, I laugh because they are usually driving a Prius, or a Subaru or a POS.

Am I the only one who wasn't offended or eye-rolling because of this? He wrote that he's not happy that he feels that way but that he does nevertheless, isn't that just honest? People grow up with social stigmas and they can be hard to unroot. I'm sure plenty of people helped or cared for African Americans during the civil rights era in the US but still had racist thoughts because that's what they grew up having engrained in them. Gay marriage is still a battle legally and socially, prejudice against gays isn't going to be eliminated in one generation. At least he's sort of trying to understand his uncle, etc.

I'm not offended by it either, my issue is, who the fuck is he, I literally have no idea. He's not even a Zlister. That's like some random street walker using glamor shots as headshots, pretending to be a relevant actress and saying how she won't eat tuna taco in some article she took out in some random paper...The only thing, that would pop in to ones mind is "who the fuck are you, ho?" If people ARE getting offended by a non-celebrity, it's usually people who need to find something to be offended over for being offended's sake. There's cool people on here, buuut there is also alllllllllllllot of drama queens.

I would go as far as to bet this asshole is gay and open about it(to friends and family) and that his next step is to "come out to the public" even though nobody even knew who the fuck he was or cared about him few days ago. This is A+ FAMEWHORING!
