As a gay man I have enjoyed dozens of movies about gay people played by straight people. Many stories that may never have made it to theaters if it wasn’t for an actor choosing to audition for a role that portrayed someone other then who they are in real life. It’s a shame that this movie Rub and Tug may never be made now. What If the gay community stood up and complained about movies like Brokeback Mountain, Philadelphia, Monster, Dallas Buyers Club, Milk, Call Me By Your Name, The Kids Are All Right, The Hours, Jeffery, Trick, The Birdcage, Angels in America, and the Laramie Project for having Hollywood cast straight actors. If your community isn’t being heard then write and produce good movies that celebrate that community. Hire good actors to portray the voices that can’t be heard. Don’t bully them for not being the same. For in the end what makes a good movie. All I know is that I don’t pick and choose my movies based on the actors real life Idenity.

Giving in to the people bullying doesn't help, but I can't blame her either.

Does the trans community forget they’re not a race?

A great deal of the trans community believe that sexual identity is a fixed charectistic, like race.

The reality is that the film will not be made without a big list actor in the lead. Know if any good actors that are publicly trans?

This kinda happened with ghost in shell because she wasn’t Asian. if she wasn’t casted for the lead; the movie wouldn’t of been made.

I didn't even know this was happening but I don't see any issue with her playing that role.

The only transgender person in Hollywood I can even think of is black, which doesn't work in this case as it's based on a true story.

I'm trans and I don't get this. You hire the best person for the job, same with any job. As long as it's not a horrible stereotype it's fine

What's your opinion on Jared Leto saying if Dallas Buyers Club was made today he wouldn't have accepted the same role?

Acting is literally the act of portraying yourself as someone who you aren't. What you are shouldn't really come into play.

Right?!! That's what I don't get! Like it's obviously not supposed to be derogatory racist like black face it's an appreciation and an art

White folks didn't think black face was supposed to be derogatory back in the day, either.

But it's not malicious. Most people are stupid and terrible at self reflection. Also, being constantly picked on makes people paranoid.

If you haven’t seen The Normal Heart with Mark Ruffalo in it, I highly suggest it. It’s so emotional and heartbreaking. Great movie though.

I haven’t and that’s surprising cus I’m a huge Ruffalo fan. Thanks for the recommendation!!

Sexual orientation shouldn't decide who gets a part. The best actor or actress for the part should get it.

You need names in lead roles to get financing and distribution. A great unknown actor is not going to get the picture made.

Transgender isn't a sexual orientation. But your point is still valid.
