One thing that bothers me is all the heterosexual, big Hollywood actors that want to play a gay role and then go and over the top in 'gaying it up,' leaving the impression that is how all gay men are. They get all kinds of acclaim in the press and sometimes even Oscar buzz for these roles as if it's Colin Firth playing a King with a serious speech stammer or Meryl Streep playing a Polish immigrant with a thick accent. If the actor is playing a gay lawyer, why can't he just deliver his lines as he would if he was playing a straight lawyer?
