And most of those actors who have, have also lost me, my support and my box office revenue. It's not so much the role of a gay person that turns me off, but it's the context in which homosexuality is lionized and romanticized.
Obviously, I don't celebrate the death of this young man, a tragedy regardless of the cause. I simply haven't supported him as an actor since Brokeback. He had a free choice in selecting a part that made a political statement and I reserve my freedom in how I dispense of my entertainment $$.
Al Pacino lost you with Dog Day AFternoon?
Get over yourself.
It must be horrible being forced to watch all those homosexual movies. C’mon over and mom will give you a hug!
Or, he selected the part not for the political statement, but for the challenge of an actor playing a part so out of character from your normal role. That kind of acting diversity generally sets an actor for life. After coming off Knights Tale and Brother's Grimm, he may have wanted a role far different from what he had been doing.
