August 13, 2018Disney has a VERY exciting, groundbreaking announcement. It has finally picked the actor to play its first OPENLY gay character! ‘Cause you know. It’s VERY important to have proper representation of sexual preferences in Disney movies. //intense sarc
The character will appear in the upcoming film “The Jungle Cruise.” The gay character will be played by British comedian Jack Whitehall. According to The Sun, Jack will play a “fun, effete” man who “makes clear he has no interest in women.”
A source said: “This is a huge gig for Jack and has landed him his biggest ever pay cheque.
“But, more excitingly, he is playing a gay man – one who is hugely effete, very camp and very funny.
“It’s a dream role.
“Disney’s always been incredibly supportive of the LGBTQ community.
“This latest script, set at a time when it wasn’t socially acceptable to be gay, is another significant turning point.”
Just one problem: This doesn’t count, because Jack is STRAIGHT. People are all, “Such a damn shame it’s so hard to find gay actors to play gay roles in Hollywood.”
Comedian Jack Whitehall's new role as Disney's first openly gay character has left critics asking why a gay actor wasn't chosen instead https://t.co/xzzAnZKY4s

Who cares? Actors PRETEND. They take on the role of someone else. They ACT. Why are we acting shocked and outraged by this?
Really @Disney #JungleCruise ? Your first significant gay role will be played by a straight white man perpetuating stereotypes? Fail! This ship should sink. https://t.co/npPESNZaxD

Wow, @Disney couldn’t find ANY gay actors in Hollywood to play the first openly gay character in their new film?!?!
Don’t get me wrong, @JackWhitehall is a cutie, BUT HE’S STRAIGHT!
This is a huge problem in Hollywood, let gay actors play gay roles!

Re the Jack Whitehall gay Disney character drama, the crux of the issue here is that it’s Disney’s FIRST openly gay character
Why start such long awaited representation in such a bittersweet way?
There are more than enough high profile gay actors that have similarly big fanbases!— Louis Michael (@Louisxmichael) August 13, 2018
Straight people playing gay camp characters is offensive. Period. @jackwhitehall pic.twitter.com/6UNnLuktVg
