No. This is what he said in 2018 - "I recognize myself as existing on [a] spectrum: Not totally straight, but also not gay and not necessarily bisexual".

Mike Faist is so fine

so he’s into men but skirting around admitting it so as to not lose roles 

[wehan6]

Yikes. Is it that hard to hire gay actors for those roles instead of those supposedly "not straight" guys? Gay actors are not missing in the theatre world after all.

Lucas has that goofy face (I mean this as a compliment) common with British people that I keep forgetting he's actually American.

He does the perfect gay cat tho

This is NOT going to translate well at all - I'm really cynical. And no, not just the ****ing (BOTH gay and straight). The camera work and the setting was a massive part of the film and the opera version got mixed reviews - at least there the focus was on the singing and the music compositions were decent there and praised. I wish so much of this energy and funding went into new works. That being said, at least the UK is doing something - the off-Broadway situation in the States is so dire right now in terms of any new projects for the politics and funding, it's depressing. This also wouldn't do well outside of Europe for any more than a limited engagement, if that.

Someone went to the Harry Styles Institute for Queerbaiting

[Bloodflowers.]

Brokeback Mountain is about two bisexual men, so it's not a role for gay actors to take

Except Lucas said point blank he is not straight, when did Harold state anything of the sort

Mike Faist looks almost exactly like me but skinnier and probably less jewish lol

[Assassin]

Neither of them is even remotely as attractive as Heath and Jake.
