I'm straight and I have a lot of gay friends.

Our intention is to really explore this transition and, beyond that, explore the particular things that someone comes up against when they're gay or lesbian.

I have a friend who is around my age, a little younger, and she's gay and came out to her own community when she was younger but not to her family and to the community at large.

A gay man can be friends with a straight man. That can happen.

Edward: "Wait--you were trying to hit on me?"
Susan: "Damn straight."
Edward: "The thing is, I'm not. Straight, I mean.

But I'm not objective when I'm acting.
