Why would playing a gay person automatically make someone gay? Aly Hannigan played Willow, who dated both Tara and Kennedy, and is happily married to Alexis Denisof from Angel.
Well, the problem is that certain people will automatically assume that anybody who plays a gay or lesbian character in a movie, TV show, video game, et al is gay/lesbian in reality which is untrue. -

Okay! Firstly, he and his wife have filed for a divorce, thank you, emma-cochrane-1, I thought someone else would have mentioned that earlier. Secondly, no matter what some gays say, not everyone has a gay vibe or can sense gay's with gaydar. There is no certain way to dress or act if you are gay and quite often, you can't tell who is gay and who isn't. Now, I am not saying Nicky is gay and I'm not saying he isn't. I'm saying only he knows and it is only his business. I know to some it is fun to imagine, but why must it be disgussed online. I myself am pansexual (look it up on Wikipedia) and other than the fact that I am much more open-minded than most people, you can't tell at all my orientation. I just gave up my orientation willing, nobody had to pry, so what I am saying is let Nicky decide if he is or isn't gay and then if he is, let him tell238 us. It just seems more polite and more convenient and if he is gay and doesn't tell us, that is his choice too. Now, I know half of you will ignore me and the other half, please do not get offended. If you do, just ignore me like the rest. I just don't see a point in trying to dig into a celebrity's personal life. Now, you may all continue to ignore my rant.

I really hate when people say, in response to someone asking if someone's gay, "even if this person is gay then who cares?!" Um. Obviously the point of the post wasn't "Ew, I hope he's not gay because that would be gross" It was simply somebody inquiring about his sexual orientation the same as someone asking "Is he dating anyone?" or "Is he Italian?" Yes, I agree that it's their business but you don't have to flip out on a person for being curious about something. It's exactly the same as asking what religion they are or what heritage they are. It is their business but people have the right to inquire about this stuff. If the person being inquired about doesn't wish to share the information then that's perfectly fine, but the inquiry itself was in no way offensive or bad.
Seriously, pick your fights. Don't just assume that every time someone asks if someone else is gay it's to offend them. Sometimes people are just curious. How else are they supposed to find things out unless they ask questions? -

Well while I do agree that asking questions is the best way to find out thing, so far every board I've been on that asks this question turns incredibly homophobic and even can lead to horribly offensive statements (And I love 'The Aristocrats" so my tolerance for offencive is fairly high) and once I read someone saying that they'd never watch a certain actors movies because of the chance they might be gay.
I admit I should pick my fights, this is one that I picked (Possibly prematurely but hey)
Oh by the way I wasn't flipping out, I was making a simple statement, that being gay doesn't make you any less talented which a lot of people imply with those kind of comments (Not everybody, but enough to be worrying)

" the inquiry itself was in no way offensive or bad."
If one wishes to
volunteer
such information about oneself, that is entirely one's own business. But it is
not
someone else's place to ask. Sorry to be so disagreeable,
xxrhoddyxx
, but such inquiries
can
be offensive in the extreme.
What business is it of ours?
Consider this: The bigots among us have used issues of race, ethnicity, nationality, religious faith,
and sexual orientation
as excuses to divide humanity for centuries make that millennia and to exclude, mistreat, even
dehumanize
the people on the "wrong" side of such divisions.
That
is why some people find these questions so offensive.
A show of hands, please?
All those who believe that seeing someone's image on a movie or TV screen gives them the right to pry into the intimate details of the actor's private life. -

(depending on the context in which it's asked)
The context in which I usually find it asked is best described as "nosy" and sometimes "what-I-don't-know-I'll-make-up-and-publish-anyway".
"Dr. Laura" types make me furious.
On that we can agree! They infuriate me, too. (Ever notice that she consistently sidesteps the question of just what field her "Doctorate" is in?) I find more logic in Dr. Seuss. -

It's just a question, it's not passing judgement or anything, and I'd hardly call it "prying into the intimate details of someone's life".
Too many people
do
use that to pass judgement. 7ecThey use it to separate, to demean, to disrespect, and even to dehumanize anyone who isn't on the same side of the line they've drawn. -

Then that makes it conclusive!
Because no straight guy ever divorced his wife.
Right?
Really: You seem to want very much for him to be gay. Is there
any
evidence you would accept that he's not gay?
