Oscar-winning screenwriter and director Dustin Lance Black has criticised actors who “lie about their sexuality” and remain in the closet.
Speaking to Attitude magazine, Black, who is engaged to the British Olympic diver Tom Daley, said: “I have no respect for someone who lies about their sexuality.
He added: “I think they cripple their actors because they stunt the star’s ability to be open and honest, and an audience can feel that.”
At the very least say ‘no comment’, just keep your personal life personal.
