Is he "queer"?

"Fluid"?

He's one of the few that still identifies as gay.

He’s so flaming it’s hard to imagine him playing a straight man.

Yes, some gay men can play straight, however Billy, you're not one of them.

Even when he was on AHS Apocalypse he was playing himself: a loud, effeminate MARY! even though his character was married to woman

I'm so glad Disney pulled the original poster with the ill-conceived tagline: "This weekend go back to Africa"

I unfollowed him on Instagram.. he bores me. I'm sure he's all broken up about it.

Perhaps he’s hoping viewers will be too distracted by his lazy eye to focus on his acting

Good for him??

He looks very handsome.

Would you be triggered if he was, R1? It’s okay. Tell us how the bad words hurt you.

I can't tell if he's a DL fave or DL non-fave.

He was the best part of The Lion King by a mile. Got the most laughs in the theater. But then it’s not hard given the other voices were flat and charmless.

"I can't tell if he's a DL fave or DL non-fave."

SInce Billy is out of the closet and successful, Datalounge hates him. It really is as simple as that.

He's very unattractive inside and out. And, no, he's not capable of playing straight. Also, his underbite always makes me think of Billy Bob Thornton in Sling Blade.

I like Billy and would buy him playing straight. I've believed that Quinto was straight when he played the killer on AHS, and I believed Bomer when he was in Magic Mike. If that junkie Heath Ledger can get an Oscar nod for playing gay, then Billy Eichner can be the straight male lead in some shitty rom-com.
