I think you brought up a really interesting question. I think that if a straight actor can accurately and justly portray a gay person, then I see nothing wrong with having them in that role. This made me think of how Cher successfully portrayed a lesbian character in the 1983 movie Silkwood. Even though she is straight, her performance was believable to me. The director insisted she wear no makeup, so she was more understated than she usually is. With that said, I think a straight person can portray someone who is gay if they can do it well.
