“Hey Pandas, What Is Your Opinion On Straight Actors Playing Lgbtq+ Characters And Vise Versa?”
What's your opinion, and why do you feel this way?

I think that's fine, as long as someone is playing those roles. It is called acting. Unlike characters that are disabled and played by non-disabled actors.
I think having non disabled actors play the disabled would increase empathy
As far as LGB characters, I would prefer them to be played by a queer actor but I would say it's okay for a straight actor to play them too. As for trans roles, only trans people should play a transgender character.
Also gay and trans actors should be able to play cishet characters because they're the overwhelming majority of characters
I personally don't care. As long as they treat their role with respect, it's alright with me. It's acting and pretending to be someone you aren't is part of the job.
