Obviously in this particular case fiction shouldn't be deliberately homophobic in it's intent, but imo there would be nothing wrong with Tom Hanks playing a gay character today as long as the character is well written and well portrayed by Hanks himself.

I don't think Hanks has ever been disrespectful in his roles,as mentioned ..even in Forest Gump he was professional . And that's like one of his most well known movies. So I would agree.
