Today was a big day for me, a letter I sent to Entertainment Weekly was published in the OSCAR (Feb. 10th) issue. It was titled RISK FACTORS....here it is: I can't think of one B-list actor losing their career over playing a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender character, but I can think of many winning Oscars and moving up to the A-list for playing GLBT: Tom Hanks, Hilary Swank, and Charlize Theron, to name a few. So, please, Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger, save the magic of Brokeback Mountain and stop telling us how risky it was to play gay. You never hear quality actors like Philip Seymour Hoffman saying how hard it was to play gay, and Capote was flawless.
