Acting according to the left's logic....

Doctors should be played by doctors.

Lawyers should be played by lawyers.

Jedi should be played by Jedi.

Space aliens should be played by actual space aliens.

Dinosaurs should be played by real dinosaurs.

George Washington should be played by.... George Washington?

It’s not as if gay people haven’t played straight people in movies. Rock Hudson would be one example. I’m just sayin’

Identity politics is death to the intellect. Everything is sent through the quota-driven, thought-control filter in the mind.

Sheesh!

It’s called ACTING. The whole point of the craft is pretending to be SOMEONE ELSE, dummies.

No, actually it’s worse than that.

According to them, a minority can and should play any role. A gay black transgender woman can and should be cast as George Washington.

However, woe betide the casting director who tries to recruit a straight male to play, for example, Oscar Wilde.

"...fans are questioning why a straight actor has been cast instead of a gay actor."

Because we're all homos now. Or didn't they get the memo....

That’s ok. The can keep their ideology. I won’t allow it to be pushed on my kids.

There are a lot of other things the kids can do other than sit through a movie.

ANYBODY playing ANY GAY character in a movie for kids is offensive.

The British comedian has reportedly landed himself a role in forthcoming action adventure The Jungle Cruise, but Disney fans are questioning why a straight actor has been cast instead of a gay actor.

A. What kind of idiot would be a Disney fan?
B. What kind of idiot would insist that an actor reflect whatever he / she / it is playing on screen? Did they need to find a cannibal to star in “Silence Of The Lambs”? Did they need to achieve AI to have Hal in “2001”?

Their identity politics has corrupted their entire worldview, not helped by decades of leftist “teachers” ignoring things like critical thinking in favor of social justice, political correctness and global warming. What a state these idiots have gotten our world in!

They’re actors. They pretend to be someone they’re not, for a living. Sheesh.

Disgusting. Never mind the fact Disney is making Walt spin in his grave.

Not people upset that Disney is doing ANYTHING that begs sexuality, but people upset that they didn’t go gay ENOUGH?

Watched some clips of the guy. Somewhat funny. The Left is insane.

“Disney fans are questioning why a straight actor has been cast instead of a gay actor.”

He’s British. That technically counts for at least 1/4 gay.

An openly gay character in a film about cruising?

Honestly, you just can’t make this stuff up.

Makes sense. Movie murderers should be played by real murderers.
