James cordon gay
James Corden is established for two things: making shit jokes about sexual predators and kissing linear men. Recently, he set his sights on everyone’s favorite heartthrob Harry Styles (again), locking lips with the former One Direction celestial body on a particular Christmas episode of Carpool Karaoke, the world’s longest-running discuss show segment. Twitter was obviously flooded with legions of fans and publications praising them for their apparent cutenessand joking they were both kinda into it, but why is a embrace between two linear dudes still treated as headline news?
Contextually, we live in an age that is queerer than ever. More and more of us are starting to think differently about sex and sexuality, including Styles, who earlier this year responded to questions about his control love life by saying he had “never felt the need to label himself.” This nice of forward-thinking remark is exactly what fans have reach to expect of Styles, a notable queer ally whose LGBTQ fanbase is well-documented. He’s got the look to match, too; his post-One Direction wardrobe is filled with pastel florals lifted from Alessandro Michele’s bohemian vision for Gucci, as good as color-blocked dominance suits by q
The backlash against James Corden’s recital as a gay man in Netflix’s new musical The Prom had already started before I’d had the chance to observe it. One critic claimed it was “gross and offensive, the worst gayface in a extended, long time…horrifically bad”, while another chastised the British actor for “leaning into effeminate gay stereotypes every chance he gets”.
This left me with a problem: my desire to be contrarian and my long-standing dislike of James Corden were raging inside me, an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object. Would I really be forced to write an “In Defence Of…” piece about my sworn nemesis, simply to stand out from the crowd and annoy some people on Twitter? Luckily, it turns out that the backlash is unfounded and James Corden isn’t very good in the film (which I otherwise thought was decent), meaning I can have my cake and eat it.
Based on a musical, which in shift was loosely based on a real-life story, The Prom concerns a troupe of washed-up musical theatre actors who, fresh after being panned for their latest Broadway performance, decide to get activists in an attempt to jumpstart their careers.

James Corden’s New Roles Has Increased Interest In His Sexuality, But Should He Have Ever Been Allowed To Play A Same-sex attracted Man?
Last week, Netflix released Ryan Murphy’s latest musical comedy, The Prom. With lead roles from Meryl Street, Nicole Kidman and Kerry Washington, it was bound to get a ton of attention. But since the release, all anyone is Googling is whether or not James Corden is gay. That’s right, James Corden’s sexuality has become a focal point for viewers, notably because he played a gay character in the show.
According to Google Trends, ‘James Corden sexuality’ and ‘James Corden gay’ are both major search terms right now. It seems that since playing Barry Glickman, a Broadway player plagued by the traumatic memory of coming out to his parents and a subsequent pained bond with his father, many have come to doubt James Corden’s sexuality.
In proof, James Corden is unbent and married to Julia Carey with whom has three children. In 2017, speaking of his days starring in The History Boys with Dominic Cooper, he talked at length about his dating days with Playboy. ‘If you’re young, straight, English and in the hottest perform in New York Urban area, you're gonna ge
Will We Ever See A Linear Actor Playing A Gay Character Again

…in a major network series enjoy Eric Stonestreet (“Cameron Tucker”) in “Modern Family” or Eric McCormack (“Will Truman”) on “Will & Grace”?
It seems enjoy over the past couple of years there has been significant backlash about actors (from what I can explain , mostly straight, pale actors?) playing characters of a distinct sexual preference, ethnicity or perhaps an able-bodied actor playing someone with a physical disability.
Do you think it is likely that we will see a straight actor playing gay again, or is it something that is becoming akin to blackface or other such outdated, offensive relics of the past?

Sure, it’s not an issue now, and I don’t foresee it becoming one in the future.

I’ll even go out on a limb and say we’ll see gay actors playing straight characters as well.

Actors don’t need to act people just enjoy themselves. That’s why what they carry out is “acting.”

The OP opens this up to just more than gay actors. If you haven’t no
