Viewers seem a lot happier to accept straight people playing gay than the other way around. And I'm not convinced it has much to do with acting ability. It really seems connected more to knowledge of the actor's life than what's happening on screen.

On the one hand, I get it. Some people have a hard time not letting knowledge about an actor affect their perception of a role. Maybe we all do that a little and just vary in how much. On the other hand, it really sucks for gay actors.

IDK, I'm the opposite. I find het romance much more palatable and less uncomfortable to watch when I know one or the other of the actors is gay IRL.

Case in point: Jonathan Bailey is the only Fiyero I've ever been able to stomach.

That's interesting. I wonder how that changes things for you to make it more palatable.

While the end result for your enjoyment is the opposite, it sounds like there's still something about knowing an actor is gay that has you experiencing their acting out a hetero romance differently.
