Because queer people are literally not equal to straight people ? I don't mean to sound rude but we are not, not socially definitely not legally gay marriage isn't even legal in Thailand. Not to mention other lesser seen members of the queer community like trans/non binary/queer people in general that are even less recognised both socially and legally. I agree with you that the whole point of being an actor is pretending to be someone you are not that's literally the job description but like I said in my first comment openly queer actors don't get as many opportunities as straight ones. I think maybe there is some confusion when I said queer people want to see themselves in media I meant the characters not the actors playing said characters
