Another Openly Gay Filmmaker Advises Gay Actors To Remain Closeted!!!

Not again!
We thought Outfest was about supporting out people making movies, but this year that is not the case.
Similar to a statement director Todd Holland gave last week, writer/director Don Roos has detailed the benefits of staying in the closet.
During another discussion at Outfest, the LGBT Los Angeles film festival, Roos felt that an actor’s openness in their personal life may harm their career.
“I can’t cast Mel Gibson in a movie. Who could put Tom Cruise in a movie right now? When I see Tom Cruise, I think of Scientology, jumping on a sofa and getting into a fight with Brooke Shields,” said openly gay Roos of casting. “I prefer more mystery. I don’t want to know about [the actor’s] political views, whether they’re gay or straight.”
He continued, “I have a deep respect for homophobia [in American society] and I don’t think it will ever go away. I don’t think actors coming out is going to help end homophobia. I think doctors, teachers and lawyers coming out will end homophobia.”
Deep respect for homophobia?!
Roos felt compelled to expand on his ideas of racism in America, saying, “We├óΓé¼Γäóre a country of bigots. I don├óΓé¼Γäót want that to go away entirely. We wouldn├óΓé¼Γäót be interesting anymore.├óΓé¼┬¥
An openly gay male telling other gay individuals that bigotry has a place in America?!
The opposite of empowering!
Pure idiocy!!!
