It's britain, we don't give a fuck if they're gay.

[(Anonymous)]

That's why Andrew Scott and Luke Evans, et al, are rushing to come out, right?

[(Anonymous)]

Is there a reason why the private lives of these people, whoever they are, should be public property? When we say we don't care, what we mean is that we really don't care. If you are a good actor, it will not affect the roles in which you are cast, full stop. You will not lose roles because you are an out gay man. You will not lose roles if you are closeted. You will not gain roles by being straight. It genuinely doesn't matter.

[(Anonymous)]

Stop being so disingenuous.

Why did you choose them as examples of supermassive closet cases, then?

One is bisexual anyway and one thinks, quite rightly, that his private life is none of your business. All he needs to do for you is act, what with that being his job and all. He doesn't owe you a tour of his house as well. If I was well-known, i'd do my best to keep entitled fans out of my business too. Write your fic about people who don't care about having their personal lives up for comment.

Do you mean the Luke Evans who has this on his wiki page? The Luke Evans who seems to have been out as gay for years, is more recently bisexual and who says himself that his acting career is wholly unaffected by this?

"In a 2002 interview, Evans said, "Everybody knew me as a gay man, and in my life in London I never tried to hide it" and that by being open he would not have "that skeleton in the closet they can rattle out". In 2004, he said his acting career had not suffered by being out. In September 2010, a female PR executive said she was dating Evans: "Luke's lovely – we're really old friends and it just sort of happened... We are nowhere near engaged but things are really good."

Do you mean the Andrew Scott who is active in LGBT rights, has a long-term partner but does not give interviews about his private life or his partner's identity because he thinks it's no-one's business? That's not closeted - that's maintaining a boundary around your home life that you're comfortable with.

is more recently bisexual

please, went pathetically back into the closet is more like it.

[(Anonymous)]

And what, his past as a man who has sexual relationships with men will magically be erased by the fact that he now has a female partner? He's not denying his past in any way. The only denial up in here is coming from you.

[(Anonymous)]

DA

I haven't read anything on him in a while, so I don't know if he's ever denied it, but his situation doesn't seem so much to be a case of once identifying as gay, now identifying as bisexual. He was very very out as a gay man, but since he started getting higher profile roles, he seems to have stopped talking about his personal life and as I recall his publicist or someone has said some questionable things that come off as 'Forget everything he said in the past, he wasn't thinking, he's straight straight straight.' It all seems really dodgy.

[(Anonymous)]

Anything could motivate him towards wanting more privacy, though. With a raised profile, there is going to be more interest in his personal circumstances whereas when he was a jobbing actor, no-body gave a fuck - maybe he finds this intrusive? Maybe his publicist has spoken out of turn and given an incorrect explanation. Maybe he really does think of himself as straight now that he's in a serious relationship with a woman. The point is he doesn't owe anybody anything, and the internet and its obsession with identity politics with just have to get over it.

[(Anonymous)]

be more biphobic why don't you

cunt

[pantasma]

xD Yer so cute.

[(Anonymous)]

LOL, funny how the straight Brits don't feel the need to do so when they're in LTRs. Sure, Cumberbatch is probably fucking every model right, left, and center, but he's recently famous and recently sprung, so he's not going to babble on about it.

[(Anonymous)]

Try telling that to my son and his partner, who were assaulted in the street in Durham because they were holding hands...

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, but the Brits are sooooo cool with it, dontchaknow?

[(Anonymous)]

P.S. sorry, that's really horrible. Hope they're ok.

[(Anonymous)]

Horrible. I hope they are well and recover for their experience and that the toe-rags who did it come to no good. `

think what people are trying to express here is not hat there is no homophobia in the UK - far from it, as we know - but that being gay is no barrier to being a working actor and to being cast in family-orientated shows. Plenty of discrimination out there, no doubt, but not in that particular profession. The OP wishes it was like that, in order to spice up her RP ship with a bit of discrimination drama.
