Roles for LGBTQIA+ are limited. Thus pairing those roles with people who are a part of the community opens up the few chances those groups get. It's similar to voice acting, where you could technically just cast a white actor for every role and still have "representation", but that limits the chances for voice actors of color.
The only time I would agree on this is if they hired Matt Boomer or dare I say it, Rupert Everett if they needed an older gentleman.
I have the deepest memory of seeing the racetrack construck in theaters, I have no idea who would have taken me though (I was like 10-11) my dad liked CBM but he never minded waiting until the DvD came out lol. Could be a made up thought though
Haha! I was about 18 when it came out. Went to the midnight showing... it was literally like me and my friends and three other people. I loved Mark Strong as Sinestro... RR as Hal was decent, but I was/am a huge fan of Geoff John's GL run, so the movie was a pretty big let down for me. Just a lot went wrong with that movie.
