If you are the best actor for the role, so be it. Sexuality should have nothing to do with it.

I don't have a dog in this fight (that is if I had fighting dogs which I do not.. take that Michael Vick) so I really don't get to vote but it seems to me that gay people don't get many roles as it is in Hollywood, now they have gay roles and they still don't give the roles to gays.
Kind of like when all American Indians were played by white people.. because white people were better actors and therefore could be better indians?
