hot take i don't think people appreciate queer actors who actually played queer characters enough, especially if they portrayed those characters before it was common place (like no longer a literal show-killer) in most media

#hot takes with alex #like there are so few options for those actors #like you either a) are out/come out early and have to face not only bigotry and prejudice from literally all corners or #b) face some criticism from your own community because people have no media literacy and assume that because your portrayal is different #from their experience that means you dont believe their experience matters when its just one character on a show with their own experience #OR #you are forced to come out/are outed because people are obsessed with knowing literally everything about an actor #like i know she sucks but ellen's sitcom (before her talkshow) was cancelled literally because she came out #the ratings and reviews went down the minute she came out on the show and the hatred rolled in and thus no more show
