As a man that likes women I would have been ashamed to play a tranny. But this Leto character likes playing sodomites. A few years back he played a fag high school teacher. And of course he’s a big time Barry Bathhouse supporter. Maybe he and Brad Pitt, another notorious fag-lover, can have a ménage à trois with Boy George.
Would you be ashamed to play a Nazi or a child molester? Acting is acting.
