True Blood Actor Allegedly Left Over Show’s Gay Plot Line

[Katzndogz]

Jim Parsons is openly gay and has always been openly gay. Neil Patrick Harris who plays the womanizing Barney on "How I Met Your Mother" is openly gay and has always been openly gay.

True Blood is over. It is just going through the motions for its final season. They don't care what they do.

They no longer have to worry about ratings so they can push the envelope. HBO has always been pro gay with it's in house productions of The Case Against 8 and The Normal Heart, starring, of all people, Jim Parsons!

Parsons plays a straight character on BBT.

Wrong - Parsons plays a closet queer - who hasn't come out yet . Look for the Gay sub text .

He has a so-called relationship with Amy - but it is non sexual - he has a "man-crush" on Leonard. Amy has a "girl crush" on Penny . Using the past strategy of LGBT mental programming [Ellen Degenerate, Rosie Odonell] I have a hunch they will eventually drop a "bomb-shell" on the shows fans by having at least Sheldon and possibly Amy also coming out as Gay.

Probably in the series finale. Then they won't have to face the changing plot lines.

Straight actors who've done gay/lesbian roles have won applause for being very good actors. Michael Douglas comes readily to mind for the Liberace movie. If a straight actor opts out of gay scenes or roles because he has some "ick" thing going on that's fine, but he'll never be thought of as a good actor. ANd very likely his epitaph will be "the guy who refused to do a gay sex scene because it gave him the willies."

And every gay or lesbian actor throughout hstory had done all straight roles until recently have become equally well thought of like Rock Hudson.

Refusing to do gay sex scenes is simply revealing what a lousy actor you in fact are IF you don't object to straight ones. It's a role, it's pretend. No one thinks whatsisname was really Freddy Krueger and a pedophile child-murderer, it was pretend. But objecting to the gay roles or scenes because you object to homosexuality makes as much sense as objecting to playing a criminal role or anything else you might object to in real life. Acting isn't real life.

Great actors turn roles for many reasons as you can see from this link of actors who turned down roles.

The problem with your logic is you're to wrapped up in "if gays can play straight roles the the reverse should be true". You're not respecting the wishes of the individual.

By turning the gay role down the actor is hurting no one. He's essentially taking money out of his own pocket and is forced to find other acting jobs. That's HIS choice. If Rock Hudson was OK playing hetero roles then good for him. If he wasn't that would have been fine also. It makes the person no more or less a good actor.

Rock Hudson was a different era - when sexual perversion was frowned upon.

There was plenty of "sexual perversion" in Hollywood in his day. Homosexuality was the least of it. Everyone there knew Rock was gay, just like they knew Paul Lynde was gay. They just kept quiet because it didn't matter.

Isn't it interesting that [MENTION=46353]GreenBean[/MENTION] thinks everyone has sexual relations prior to marriage?

I didn't know Paul Lynde was a fag - interesting - but I disagree about them keeping it quiet because "it didn't matter" they kept it quiet because it did matter . And your glass is still half empty.

I did not mean that it did not matter across the nation. Those in Hollywood knew full well that outting them would destroy their careers. Just as outting those in Hollywood who were swingers or those who had open marriages, or those involved in BDSM, would destroy their careers.

What I meant was that the attitude in Hollywood was that who they slept with or formed relationships with did not matter.

And every gay or lesbian actor throughout hstory had done all straight roles until recently have become equally well thought of like Rock Hudson.

Refusing to do gay sex scenes means you're a lousy actor ?

Wow, seriously dude ? That is simply absurd.

A kiss is hardly a "gay sex scene".

The better question is why is homosexuality over represented in Hollywood and the media.

Reading the linked article, it seems that this entire premise of him leaving because he objected to homosexual scenes, is nothing more than unsubstantiated gossip.

There was an article dated Sept of 2013 that stated that the show would end after one final season. So the cast knew it was almost over. Isn't it just as likely that the actor left to pursue other opportunities?

According to IMDB, he has worked on 7 projects since leaving True Blood. 5 of those are in post-production and 2 are completed.

It looks to me like the gay sex part is likely not part of the deal. The actor wanted to pursue other opportunities and opted not to ride out the final season.

Not being a bad actor is a far cry from being a great actor. No, it does not make him a bad actor. But then, unsubstantiated gossip and rumors does not make a story true.

Yeah, but it is great fodder for the internet and it gives us the ability to point out the gay agenda and their brutality.

No, because the gay left will always put their foot in the mouth with knee jerk reactions and reveal that agenda!

If it's true he better keep his mouth shut. See: Angus T Jones and Isiah Washington.

Disagree with the gay left and there will be consequences as shown in Howey's post.

That wasn't my point. My point was actors/actresses shouldn't insert their personal opinions into their job. Jones said nothing about gays.

It seems to me that the posts here revealed more anti-gay bias than pro-gay agendas:

“In a massive fuck you to the audience every one is gay.”

“That's Takes Real Courage and committment to Standing up to The Gay Mafia”

“You will be eventually [referring to being interested in participating]. From Gomorra to Thebes every recorded city state in the ancient world that was dominated by a homosexual clique eventually allowed for rape in certain circumstances and dropped the age of consent laws to practically nothing.”

“Sean Penn is one sick motherfucker. I doubt he's completely straight after seeing the vile performance he did.”

“The better question is why is homosexuality over represented in Hollywood and the media.”
