Jay Hayden Cast As Gay Man To "Break Stereotypes"

ABC told Jay Hayden ‘We want to continue to break the mould of the stereotypical gay character on television,’” on the TV Show "Station 19"

‘You know why we love you at ABC, Jay? You are a GUY'S GUY, and we want to put that in Travis. Let’s continue to break that mould and just show human beings.’

Jay Hayden adds "I felt a responsibility for all of my gay friends, who were like, ‘Don’t you dare play it like XYZ. Well, you better do this…’ ‘Ok, I think I am just going to play a human with all these circumstances going on in his life and let him invent himself and be present.’ I felt a great responsibility. I hope I’m doing a good job.”

Straight guy talks about how great it is that a "real man" got the gay role and not an actor who is actually gay and would be all faggy. DL self-loathers line up to agree.

Next.

He was Lange’s boy toy in “Wild Oats”.

Other than that, as R1 stated, next!

Isn't casting a straight man to play a gay man supporting the stereotype of a gay man? Listen, I am glad they have a gay character, but if your aim is to break a stereotype of a gay man then you need a gay man to do that, not a straight man because you didn't bother to look for a masculine gay male actor.

Human beings who act like straight douche bros without any kind of effeminate mannerisms, or stuff like that. And played by straight guys.

R8 - aren't the guy on guy sex scenes enough for you?

I haven't seen any, r9. I only watched a few eps, the crossover ones with the gay doc from GA.
