“I can think of at least four actors absolutely hiding their sexuality. It’s painful because they fear being found out. And that’s what they say, ‘I don’t want to be found out’”.

On talking about stories of discrimination and inequality, Kate further added that she has witnessed that male actors find it much more difficult to come out in the industry because of the stereotypical belief that gay actors cannot play straight roles. She said, “That should be almost illegal. You would not believe how widespread it is. And it can’t just be distilled to the question about gay actors playing gay parts. Because actors, in some cases, are choosing not to come out for personal reasons. And it’s nobody’s business”.
