The thing about entertainers, actors, singers and other extrovert personality types is that a much higher percentage of them ARE GAY.
They just play heterosexual men on TV. Like Rock Hudson. Or they are switch hitters(bisexuals). They will have sex with anybody.
I think back to my high school days(77-81). There was this one guy who was always the male lead in all the school plays, he sang in the chorus. He was the lead guy in the Glee Club. He always sat with this group of girls at lunch. He was a decent looking guy. It never occurred to me at the time, but he was probably gay. Either that, or he was getting more tail than all of the rest of us guys combined. He was an extrovert personality type.
This is the type of guy who ends up on Broadway or on TV/Movies.
The “Casting Couch” is for men, too.
I was shocked to learn that Raymond Burr (Perry Mason, Ironside, etc.) was most likely a homosexual. I didn’t know that Van Cliburn was homosexual until about 20 years ago. And I grew up in Fort Worth.
These are the types of “gays” that I can respect and be around. They are extremely private. I think it does their careers good.

Conversation from my 50th high school reunion.
A: “Do you remember X and Y? Well, they both got married.”
B: “That’s a surprise. I never thought either of them would get married.”
A: “No, no, no. To each other!”
Yesterday on social media someone posted the question ... “What do you find hot about a woman?”. One person replied with, “The lack of a penis”.
The “look-at-me” nature of acting tends to attract the effeminate (in the traditional sense meaning pleasure seeking above all else) and narcissistic. I have heard same sex attraction described as an expression of narcissism and it is hard to deny many homosexuals engage in a pleasure seeking lifestyle. Seems a lot of overlap in the Venn diagram.
The thing about entertainers, actors, singers and other extrovert personality types is that a much higher percentage of them ARE GAY.More importantly, an even larger proportion of the creative talent in show business are gay (see Truman Capote, Cole Porter, Noel Coward, etc,).
It's easy for the behind-the-scenes folks to slip in subtle bits that advance "The Message".
Remember this goody?
