Should straight men be allowed to play roles of queer characters?

Given now that heated rivalry has been out people have been attacking the actors with claims of "Queer baiting" and that an openly gay man should've gotten the role rather than the current actors.

Let me know your thoughts though

Though I am highly against letting straight men out of their cages in the basement I believe talent should determine who gets the role not sexuality, and when it comes to the issue of representation let the character do the representing not the actor their job is to bring the character to life and nothing else a good actor (regardless of sexuality)...... reply
