Fantastic article. Feels like the *brand* of queer audiences are used to is successfully executed by straight actors but the nuance is frightening since the public would have to identify with and empathize with (outside of tragedy) a queer person who is a lot like them. I almost believe that if there were space for more queer actors to have the luxury of “suspending disbelief”, we’d be forced to start having the same respect for queer sexuality we do for straight people.
