It’s not til the roles start drying up and they’re on the brink of irrelevance that they’ll start talking about how homophobic the industry is, how much internalized homophobia there is, how much pressure there is to stay closeted and/or stay away from the word “gay”, how much privilege individuals who only or mostly date their opposite gender have. In fact, some will go out of their way to defend the industry and hyper focus on “playing nice”. As long as they’re still getting work in the industry they’re not gonna really call anyone out.
