Over the years, we have seen many actors and actresses hide their sexual preferences for fear of discrimination.Īt the same time, we have seen just as many actors and actresses who have bravely stepped out and accepted their nature to destigmatize homosexuality. Hollywood and its fraternity have played a significant role in this mission. One of the tools of normalization and inclusion has been films, television series, theater, and plays. This sad state of affairs would have continued if it was not for the normalization campaigns and inclusion campaigns of human rights activists. Gay people have always been ostracized, discriminated and criminalized all through history. However, it has been a part of society nonetheless. Homosexuality has been a taboo in many cultures and communities.
