And again, plenty of gay actors were given gay roles in the London production so why are we saying 'we cant' give them that when 'we' already have.
This stuff is only going to get more complex as more and more people identify as bisexual or sexually fluid (which for all I know, Soller himself does). It's never going to be acceptable for a director or casting director to demand to know

That's the irony. One would think given how many LGBT people are involved with this production, that casting an openly out gay actor (for the lead gay role) would be pivotal. I don't know the hiring process but it is interest
novel idea said: "Why is no one talking about the lead guy coming over here from London being actually straight playing a gay role in America. Seems like a double standard now - we are calling out tons of straight actors for taking away jobs from the LGBTQ+ community but this still happens without anything being said? Seems ridiculous. "
You're asking why people aren't complaining about a casting choice that hasn't even been confirmed? And he is American.
