An actor refusing to do a homosexual role is an insult to a minority

I'd rate Onirban's My Brother Nikhil much higher. I didn't like Brokeback
Mountain at all. In fact I quite hated it. I was put off by the abruptness
with which the love scenes between the two male actors came on. I thought
they were unnecessarily sensational and seemed to be put there for
titillation. The director was also apologetic about his protagonists' mutual
attraction. The idea seems to be, 'Look they aren't gay. But when two
heterosexual males are thrown together in solitude, love may happen'. I
found it contrived. I feel filmmakers who have no respect for sexuality – in
any form – should refrain from comment. Ang Lee needed to do more research
on homosexual behaviour. I did historical research for Antar Mahal and
Chokher Bali. Or I'd have made a fool of myself. In fact the other
Oscar-nominated film Capote which had a gay hero, was far superior. Philip
Seymour Hoffman played Al Capone with such textured velocity.
*Did the central relationship between Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllanhall in
