A list of actors who have played queer roles, with text challenging the myth that it's a career-ender
Various producers tried for YEARS to make a film of The Front Runner, a popular novel from the 70s about a gay athlete, but they couldn't find a star willing to play a gay character. Eventually, in frustration, they ran this ad in Variety.
It's still never been adapted.

Just caught an interesting choice in the movie Cruising -- a minor character who bookends the film in a dual role. Sometimes he's in uniform, snarling about how gross gays are ... and then other times, we see him cruising for sex in bars & the park. Nobody's what they seem in this movie.
Coming Up this week in Queer Film in LA: Slamdance begins, Michelle Parkerson celebrated at Hammer Museum, two by Alfred Hitchcock, two by John Waters, Tongues Untied, and Gay Girls Riding Club restorations!
Of all the movies nominated and awarded here, Iβll just say that Crossing and Queendom are two of the best movies Iβve seen recently and more people need to see them!
