For me it doesn't matter in the slightest. I can, and will, suspend disbelief for however many hours is required of me, no matter the sexual orientation of the actor. I have no qualms whatsoever in fancying Rupert Everett for example, even if I know he is gay. But then I am one of those girls that has a very well attuned gaydar, as my best friend (gay) tells me. I am attracted to gay guys and I have hooked up with many. They also seem to like that and I am certain that this helps to my own self-validation. In my wildest dreams, I am still the girl that can turn Rupert round (or my friend Grant ). When I am riding in the fields on my own, I am not really on my own... Jake G is a few steps behind on his own horse and we are not really in the English countryside, we are hacking up Brokeback Mountain. Gah, I am a very desperate case.
