"As a straight white man, I know that even without trying, I have taken opportunities away from other people."
Lucas Grabeel said he wouldn’t play Ryan in “High School Musical” if it were made today because he’s straight & white

The lip situation in that photo is concerning, to say the least.

But if he said he would not play it because it should be played by a POC you wouldn’t be saying that, no?

You lost me there, gurl. Who does this queen think she's fooling?

So in 2006 it was progressive to make a play about straight guys doing musical theater and now it 2023 it's progressive to demand no straight guy could ever possibly do musical theatre. Amazing.

R6 retcons say the character was gay, though. As does the visual evidence onscreen. And the musical adaptation said it too.
Also, pre-pandemic I remember discussing this here, back when Lucas originally said it. Why are we bringing it up again now?

Lucas looks like a Lucia.

R9 ok, so he would have come out in college. Cool. So it never happened on film.
The movies we have he likes girls in them. So he’s straight as far as the movies go. Not based on retcon or word of mouth.

Lucas should take a fatal fentanyl overdose so he can stop sucking up oxygen that sainted POCs could be breathing instead.

Bearing in mind he is still milking this minor role from a Disney musical from 2 decades ago for fame to this day (he was in the HSM series last year). He expects us to think that he as a 20 year old out of work actor would have turned down the job so they can give it to someone more deserving? No you fucking wouldn't Lucas you'd have been showing Kenny Ortega your Grindr profile and begging him to cast you.

Did they retcon Sharpay's character too because how could anyone her last name is "Evans" with a schnoz like that?

What happened to him? He had HSM and Milk, he should've been set.

He is an actor. He can play any role he wants. So sick of this shit. It's called ACTING.

Is that a male in OP's link pic? I glanced and seriously thought it was a female.
Screenshot is what I can see. That's a female.

If that dumb Conservative who struggled to define what 'woke' meant, was asked that very same question today, she could use this story as an example.

r27 Yeah and I'm willing to bet with the possible exception of Taylor he's the one that got the least screen time. Troy Gabriella and Sharpay are the main three characters, Ryan, Chad and Taylor exist in support roles for their stories. Granted I've either forgotten or never saw 3 so I'm basing that off of the first 2 films

So then a supporting role, r29? Not a minor role.

Just more virtue signaling from 'progressives,' who are anti-white.
Do they not realize how self-loathing they come off?

r30 Well aren't you pedantic. Yes fine a supporting role that is still Grabeel's only claim to fame which was my original point.
