Would it have weirded me out if straight men played the characters? Maybe.

However, there seems to be a lot of politically correct rhetoric, making this an issue when the content and depiction of gay characters is probably more important than the actors playing them. Not to mention the whole process would muddy the waters for everyone in terms of ethics.

...I was just actually thinking of that movie myself, Braden......one of the things about the movie was that it was an all LGBTQ cast, which was a huge unique thing about it an all LGBTQ cast playing all LGBTQ characters...but would any of the characters have worked just as well with some non LGBTQ actors also... that’s a really interesting one and I honestly don’t know because the cast is so utterly perfect exactly as they are...
