...impersonating a straight man: John Travolta, for the last 20 years.
All of these gay guys playing straight guys playing gay guys. Does anyone, really, believe Phillip Seymore Hoffman, Jake Gyllenhall or any of these drama club Drama Mamas are really straight? Not,of course, that there's anything wrong with that. What's really wrong, I guess, is that they're still compelled to lie, just to keep working. That's the prevailing wisdom in Hollywood, but since when have they ever been right? People get it now more than ever. The real crime, it seems to me, is the condescending lie. The way politicians, actors and those in positions of authority feel they can't let us in on the truth.
