A spokesperson for the GLAAD is applauding the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for recognizing that gay actors can play gay characters.
“With all the focus of late being on whether or not gay actors can convincingly play breeders…I mean heterosexuals…we have forgotten gay actors are rarely cast as gay characters in television and film—at least television and film that matters.”
The spokesperson was referring to the Emmy nominations for sort-of-openly gay actor Chris Colfer and openly gay actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson
“Look at our track record,” the spokesperson went on to say. “Capote, Milk, Brokeback Mountain, Monster…all the best gay roles go to straight actors. It’s nice to see the homo team get some recognition for a change.”
