DT said there are very few gay people in Hollywood. JB laughed and said there were lots of gay people in Hollywood but they were advised not to come out because if they announced they were gay it would cause problems with audiences. He elaborated that women would find it hard to (I can't remember the phrase he used) get on board with a gay leading man. Personally I can't understand this theory at all. Surely the whole point of being a good actor is that you believe the role they create so why would their personal life matter?
I never found John Barrowman attractive because there is something about it that just doesn't do it for me. Ian McKellan though I find very attractive. In both instances their sexuality is not the reason for or against their attractiveness. Wentworth Miller never floated my boat, but Dominic Purcell in Prison Break was the eye candy to me. WM only came out* recently but I already didn't find him attractive.
Does any of this waffle make sense? And what do you think? George Takei often posts pictures of very attractive young men that have stated that they are gay and then apologies to the women. However I often think I wouldn't have a chance with them anyway so why would their sexuality matter??
* does anyone know the origin of the phrase come out? I don't really like it but not sure why.
