GLAAD: Newsweek Articles Sends a Damaging Message
The flap over whether an openly gay actor can play straight heated up again this week with the publication of the essay “Straight Jacket.” Do you think an actor’s personal life affects your ability to suspend your disbelief?

I still hold Harrison Ford in low esteem because of his comments that no one would believe Anne Heche as a straight woman when she was cast as his lead in Six Days, Seven Nights. I mean, people believe her when she plays someone who isn’t insane. (She did have a nervous breakdown. And it’s been long enough that it’s funny, right?)
