If this have taught us anything, it's that the community shouldn't keep insisting that queer characters be played by only out queer actors. Sexuality is an ever evolving journey and sometimes people need to inhibit a story to be able to make sense of their own lives.
@Blau I can believe it. Especially for those of us who came out when the world was still very hostile and judgemental about being queer. It was a very different world then, and many of us still carry those wounds. It isn't a deal breaker for me at all, but, again, I grew up in a time when out actors was extremely rare. So it felt very special to have queer actors. I'm not sure what about this is hard to understand. Or why anyone would even care about it ...
@@melodiefrances3898 First of all, utmost respect for your lived experience and your endurance. I hear you and I also love to find out about actors coming out. I just don't think it should be a requirement for the actor to be queer in order to play queer. I get it in the case of trans characters (for a bunch of reasons that include trans actors' unemployment rates, and cis actors playing trans being a habit that perpetuates stereotypes); but queer actors being the only ones allowed to play gay? I see several cracks in that plan...
The whole point of acting is to show range and skill. Anthony Hopkins isn’t actually a serial killer but he won an Oscar for playing Hannibal. To demand or expect characters to be played by queer actors has always seemed absurd to me. The entire pt is to act! Jodie Comer is also not genuinely killing people. Yet Killing Eve w lucky to have her.
it's actually very beautiful that actors can explore their inner parts through the characters they play. i am happy that not only we get a queer content that represents us but also the whole acting experience makes these actors connect to their authentic selves
She came out after but I doubt that the role helped her realise her sexuality. Edited to clarify: as in I'd say she knew before the role. I'm basing this off some con vids I've seen.
I've often thought Heath Ledger came away from "Brokeback Mountain" with feelings toward Gyllenhaal and maybe that led to his alcoholism and fatal drug abuse not long after movie. Same goes for Whitney feeling she must hide her sexuality to be successful in business. Michael Jackson , Prince and so many actors like Rock Hudson who never appeared to be gay.
I remember when a lot of people were up in arms about non-queer people playing queer characters but I always thought about those who recognized/realized/acknowledged that part of themselves BECAUSE they "played gay." Even those who are not gay...there is still gay representation (the characters), destigmatizing of queerness (straight actors are not afraid to take on gay roles for fear of being viewed "that way"), and it promotes being an ally to that community. Acting has been the "root" for quite a few who realized their sexual orientation was not the "default" setting, if you will, and I encourage any and everything that helps people find who they are.
I totally understand the desire to see queer roles played by queer actors, but I also agree with the points that you made. Maybe someday there will be more room for different feelings and opinions ...
@@melodiefrances3898 I also consider that we don't always know how people identify so some of the "straight" actors may not be...they just haven't confirmed one way or the other, you know?
@@Palindrome78 And some of the straight actors like Jennifer Beals was very good at portraying a lesbian but also just as good as portraying herself as straight in so many films and tv series. I thought I wouldn't want to see her kissing and making love to a man until I saw her in "Twilight of the Golds" and she was magnificent. I am obsessed with the woman and want to see everything she's starred in. She is just as sensual and funny and beautiful and most of all naturally a total woman in whatever characters she portrays. I'm waiting to see her in the black and white cinema film "In the Soup" made in the 90tys but only released less than a year ago.
Hey 100% Shipper, you may know this already but we can now add Renée Rapp to the list. She's said her character's figuring out her lesbianism in The Sex Lives of College girls paralleled (even prompted) her own journey at the time of filming, which is wild, and she identifies now as a lesbian.
I believe "A Village Affair" 1994 (uk tv film) was the catalyst for Sophie Ward coming out a short time later. She wrote a lengthy and very eloquent piece about it in the Guardian around 2013.
Amazing work, I thought I would know everything in this video and turns out it surprised me a few times. I'm mostly in awe of Clea's story though. And what-a-quote! Geez. Heartbreaking but beautifully put.
I understand Clea Duvall completely, I was also in the closet in the 80s and 90s. It was a different time, where myself and other friends thought hurting ourselves was the only solution.
Clea did have a short lesbian section on the AMAZING show Carnivale with actress Carla Gallo. The show is an unconventionally written story of Light and Darkness, set in the dust bowl Great Depression-era. It is just art with a star-studded cast.
Related, are straight actors who became glbtq supporters after playing queer. Crystal Chappell was so moved by the effect that her lesbian storyline in the soap opera Guiding Light had on fans that she went on to produce a lesbian web series. Different but related, and very cool. (I also think that doing a story that had the luxury of spanning a couple years might have made for a deeper effect).
It’s interesting that people choosing them for these roles must have some strong gay radar sensing their suppressed sexuality even when they themselves were not ready to accept it. Okay maybe one day we will have Katie McGrath’s come out who knows ❤
This! I cannot believe that Sophie Ward isn't on this list especially since all the featured actresses seem to be bisexual/'queer' with no lesbian representation in the mix whatsoever. Sophie Ward coming out was such a massive deal and such a significant moment for lesbian representation in the British media, especially as it was back in the mid 90's and society in general was so much more homophobic/ignorant back then
IIRC, Clea DuVall also said on Anna Faris’ podcast that she was basically out before her career took off, and once it did, her agents encouraged her to get back into the closet.
This is just really tragic. I was a closeted teen in the 90's and it would've meant SO MUCH to me and I'm sure countless other gay kids to know she was gay too. Though at the same time I completely respect if she would've still wanted to keep her personal life private, the fact that it wasn't really even an option to be out then still makes me sick.
...have you ever noticed that it's always towards conventionally "attractive" women like Evan Rachel Wood...and ONLY women in general...that the doubts about it "being a phase" comes into the conversation... ...it always plays differently in my head when these moments happen...it always comes off to me as... 😖 "you're a pretty girl you can have any man you want without even trying. are you sure you just haven't met the right guy? you must be suffering from a "confidence issue". we'll check back with you in a few months."
This acting thing is just CRAZY!! I mean..the BEST cinematic Lesbian couple in the world were STRAIGHT!! Jennifer Beals and Laurel were both married and mothers while making this series. Bette used to lay there kissing Laurel in the slowest most sensual ways with crew and castmates looking on. Every one of you ladies out there both straight and gay were pressing your tongues against your lips while watching them. LOL!! Kate especially must have wondered WTF man!!!?? Kate and Leisha both gay with partners, must have learned a lot of lesbian tips from Jennifer who never was naked on screen but made us all FEEL like she was. That's because Jennifer Beals is a BOSS and one helluva beautiful great actress. The things Bette made the audience, both straight and gay feel, goes beyond any lesbian movie portrayals ever done on screen including "Desert Hearts" {(sorry Kay, Bette wins).
Laurel H had previously been in a gay relationship, in the late 90s, and in the early/mid 80s Jennifer B andJodie Foster appeared to be exceedingly good friends when they were both at Yale - loads of pics online of them together, though it might all have been platonic . . . . . .And yes, as Tina and Bette, LH and JB are very convincing and committed, though clearly part of that is due to high level acting skills, and their very compelling chemistry . . in a parallel universe those two would surely be together . .
Thea Gill also came out after playing Lindsey on Queer as Folk. Her partner is Gina Glass. I'm not sure if Thea's given an interview about it, but during all the initial press tours for QAF, Thea always referred to herself as straight.
I’m sure i remember Iyari limon who played Kennedy in Buffy saying kissing Alyson Hannigan made her realise she liked girls. Something along those lines anyways.
@@blackrosetheodorah4036they also came out as non binary in 2020 describing themselves "in me is the capacity to be a girlish boy, boyish girl, boyish boy girlish girl, all, neither."
I briefly wondered about her but her first role was the L word so I figured she's been out for ages and didn't look too much into it. I'll have to take a deeper look.
Ali Liebert was going to my suggestion as well--I was scrolling down to see if anyone had mentioned her first. :) My recollection is that she came out post-Bomb Girls which helped her with that self-discovery (I believe she also played a queer character on Lost Girl, or am I totally misremembering that?). I think she did an Advocate interview about this. Great video, as always!
Supergirl is my number one favorite tv show of all time. Then Dickinson is 1.5 favorite. So completely awesome and beautiful and inspirational 🥰❤️🏳️🌈☮️🍷
I think Mia Kirshner, she’s bi, in The L Word and maybe other actresses in that show. Kristen Stewart also in The Runnaways gave her courage to be who she is
@@100percentshipperif I remember correctly the only out in the main cast of The L Word when the show started was Leisha, who ironically played bi but irl identified as a lesbian
@@100percentshipper Laurel Holliman (Tina) played gay before L Word, but I'm not sure she was out as bi until after L Word. I think some of the guest stars were--Clementine Ford, others. It seemed to attract queer actresses who kinda wanted to be out or at least to get a chance to play gay finally. Also, "Orange is the New Black"! I think there are a few there. How about Olivia Wilde, who has played bi a few times (The O.C., House)? Not sure she was out when she did the first queer role.
Good for them... definitely a better way to live their life... the freedom to be ourselves it's the best way too be happy and enjoy life the fullest, expecially for actresses that live in the west... here, at least we advanced our society, and it is our right and privilege to do so... expecially when there are still places, in the world, were people aren't yet free like us to live freely and openly their sexuallity... Love is Love... Thanks so much... untill next video ;D
A year late to the comments, but this video just showed up in my feed. Now that Chloë Grace Moretz is officially out as gay, I'd love to know if Miseducation helped her come to terms with that. I mean, she was first linked to Kate Harrison in 2018, which is when the film came out, so... 🤔❤️🏳️🌈
true.....its not unlike people who get upset at the number of professional actors who credibly play American characters yet they aren't from North America (ie Christian Bale as Batman, Gary Oldman as Commissioner Gordon, Rose McIver on Ghosts, Melanie Linsky on 2 1/2 Men, Hugh Jackman in Xmen/Wolverine, etc). I think the one that famously gets everyone angry is Dick Van Dyke's atrocious cockney accent in Mary Poppins, but that's the opposite issue, and American playing someone from England.
Soooooo this was the first vid to pop up on my home feed just then and my out loud 🔊 reaction to myself was "oh god WHAT THE HELL" so of course I had to watch it NOW
@@100percentshipper I did, just now finished it cause I had to pause and come back to it so of course I watched the whole thing from the beginning lolz. It was awesome. I love your video essays like this! Your first one? I think it was.....was ON XENAAAAA that's my fave show EVER. The ending of this one hit me hard rn about Clea. I had no idea about all that with her personal struggles...I can sure relate.
Lucky they only worry about what people think sadly I come from a country that punishment for being gay is death sentence so some people don’t know how lucky they are to at least have a choice I am waiting to find out the faith of 2 girls sentenced to death all I can do is pray for them and pray for freedom for all may god bless us all love is love
So lucky right, i think about this often. I'm so very sorry for you and your friends, I can't even imagine the pain and fear. It makes me so mad that societies and the patriarchy still dictate this bullshit.
This is just a reminder of how stupid people can actually be…… the timing of some of these people coming out is crazy. In the age of acceptance people still feel as though they have to “come out” when it really doesn’t matter. There are way too many celebs that were privately out and happy who were then outing, hated on, thrashed, heckled, and had family members and friends basically stalked by the LGBTQ community for not publicly “coming out” when it’s really none of our business.
Never understood why these people come out then keep dating the opposite sex. I get love does what it does but at least be seen dating the same sex for awhile. What’s the point in being anything but straight if you’re going to conform to the role anyway?
People can be bi or pan and they don't have to prove their sexuality. Why should they date a certain way to satisfy you or anyone else? The point of being out is not about optics but to be authentic about who you are and in doing so, letting others know they can be too.
@@100percentshipper Ever since seeing “The Almond and the Seahorse”, it’s been fascinating to watch Rebel Wilson’s coming out journey. I’m so happy for her, Ramona and their baby girl. 🙌🌈🥰
I think it's not so much of an awakening know we live in a time we're u can choose who u might like and not feel so stressed about society acting all weird
Wayhaught was the ship that helped me come to terms and understand my own sexuality. That show and their relationship truly means the world to me.
Amazing. Such an important ship!

Hosie would be amazing!
..and you missed Sophie Ward........
Never understood why these people come out then keep dating the opposite sex. I get love does what it does but at least be seen dating the same sex for awhile. What’s the point in being anything but straight if you’re going to conform to the role anyway?
People can be bi or pan and they don't have to prove their sexuality. Why should they date a certain way to satisfy you or anyone else? The point of being out is not about optics but to be authentic about who you are and in doing so, letting others know they can be too.
Interesting video and I'm 30 single lesbian from US looking for a date
Don’t forget rebel Wilson!
Thanks for pointing her out,I didn't realize that film helped her!
@@100percentshipper Ever since seeing “The Almond and the Seahorse”, it’s been fascinating to watch Rebel Wilson’s coming out journey. I’m so happy for her, Ramona and their baby girl. 🙌🌈🥰

I think it's not so much of an awakening know we live in a time we're u can choose who u might like and not feel so stressed about society acting all weird
Depends a lot on the country and the people around you tho. There is still way too much homophobia in this world.
Who cares they are gay i dont never thanses who you are ❤😊
These women are actresses, not actors.
Nah. We don't let men define our roles anymore. They are actors and in their own right.
@@reitzcollings1024 no, they are actresses, and dykes.
Ah, I remember the good old days of Wynonna Earp, when DPC was gorgeous. Now? :/
