The character Niles Crane on “Frasier” was straight. But he was played by a gay actor. Enough of this reckless appropriation! I demand that all copies of “Frasier” be collected and burned.

There goes the hallmark movies. Lol. Many gay actors play the straight lead.

Agree, which means Tom Cruise can stop his ranting, shut down filming of 'Mission Impossible 26: Rump Wrangler's Surprise,' and go home.

No straight man should play a gay character. End of story.

What next? Rapists playing rapists, real murderers playing etc?

Posts like yours are one of the reasons I really enjoy Free Republic...:)

Short, and straight to the heart of the matter. If someone were to ask that question to the homosexual community, the indignation would be over the top.

But, if one is to accept that mindset-how could that question itself, and the prohibition of homosexual actors to play heterosexual roles would be a completely valid one.
