Garfield gay

Last year, Andrew Garfield made headlines for saying he was a “gay man without the physical act.” After experiencing a good amount of push-back as a result of his comments, he wants to clarify. Andrew Garfield has found himself in hot water with the LGBTQ community after saying, “I am a gay man right now, just without the physical act” — and revealing that he prepared for his new role. After Andrew Garfield caused controversy last year for saying he was a gay man "without the physical act," he says he's open to gay sexual experiences.

By law of male fragility and toxic masculinity, this picture apparently means he’s gay. Seriously, it’s going viral today accompanied by a plethora of innuendo and memes that imply Andrew Garfield is not the straight man he’s defined himself as in various interviews of the years.

Actor Andrew Garfield has once again opened up about his sexuality. In a recent interview with OUT magazine, the actor explained that while he has previously identified as straight, he now views. Garfield is clearly not ignorant of the magnitude of the undertaking — and what the play has meant to queer folks for the last quarter-century — which ought not to be discredited by an unfortunate soundbite.

This even has its own internet neologism: queer-baiting , practiced by the likes of James Franco and Nick Jonas, who in their half-hearted outreach to the gay community have generally been received with indifference. For Jonas, this consisted mainly of playing a gay wrestler on TV, showing up at Manhattan gay clubs to bare his abdominals and promote a new, edgier album , and admitting to watching Mariah Carey on the Home Shopping Network.

So I guess it depends on how you define gay. The problem is the notion that being gay is a kind of method acting, a lifestyle into which actors dip their toes and then promptly dry off. Garfield should have known that a theatrical turn as Prior Walter and a Drag Race binge-watch with friends does not a gay man make. This article is more than 7 years old.
