![]() ![]() But no one owes you a forced outing just to be allowed to play a part.Īdditionally, I think that the way a kiss goes and looks isn’t necessarily dependant on the actors’ sexuality. Yes, it’s important to see openly queer actors get work. And while things might be a bit better these days than 20 years ago, it’s still not a piece of cake to be out and proud in Hollywood. What is asked here isn’t to get queer actors, but to get openly queer actors, have them wave their queer card around to prove they get to play the part. But she wasn’t out yet when she was cast. While the reblog before mine is excellent, I’d like to add on about the “get queer actors to play queer roles”, because… Chyler Leigh (the redhead from the Supergirl kiss) is queer. So while I agree that in 2019 we should be aspiring to cast queer actors to play queer roles, please recognize that the fact we can aspire to that now is partly because of what two straight actors did fifteen years ago, when they decided they weren’t going to be afraid to risk breaking each other’s faces in a show of passion and longing. They literally were basically not allowed to say “queer people are people, and you don’t have to be queer to see that queer people can love and cherish each other emotionally and physically.” They did their best to do that, working against a mass media that was going “look, it’s a story about TWO MEN!! And they HAVE SEX!!! HOW FREAKY!!!” ![]() I think it was Jake who made the most confused face ever at the camera and kind of went “….no….? A kiss is a kiss?” The speculation on their sexualities ran RAMPANT-at the same time that Heath started dating Michelle Williams (who played his wife, in the most positive-but-ironic turn of events ever). They both went in with the attitude of “we’ve been hired to portray a relationship, and we’re going to do that.” I lost count of the number of times they were asked if it was weird/different to kiss another man. 15.Having been in high school when Brokeback Mountain came out, I can tell you Heath and Jake took A LOT of heat for many of the scenes in it (including this one), because they WEREN’T all awkward and afraid to touch each other. Here are 15 of the most disturbing sorority hazing stories - they may just make you think twice about ever joining a sorority. There are women stepping forward saying that they were physically beaten, emotionally tormented, and violated in many different ways, all as part of the rushing process to ensure they were a good fit for the sorority - and it’s majorly not okay. And then, there are all the hazing stories that come out of the woodwork, particularly now that we have online media to pick up on smaller stories. There are some people who swear up and down that hazing is absolutely not an issue, that it’s not something that happened in their sorority and they just don’t see what all the fuss is about. Before an individual is granted access into that immediate sisterhood and feeling of belonging, they have to pledge to the sorority - and that can involve a lot of stuff. However, just because it seems all friendly sunshine and daisies doesn’t mean it actually is. After all, most sororities have their sisters all living within the same house, they have big sister/little sister assignments to form even stronger bonds between particular members, and they spend an insane amount of time together, between simply hanging around the house and working on the chapter’s events and fundraisers and similar activities.
