I struggle with it and am hypocritical about that.

Roman Polanski was convicted of a terrible crime, but I appreciate his work.

Weinstein’s production company made many of my favorite movies.

Kevin Spacey played some of my favorite characters.

EDIT:

And then there is Bill Cosby and OJ Simpson. I love the Naked Gun Movies and both are pure gold on screen.

Bill Cosby’s Chicken Heart routine is so fucking funny it was making me laugh my ass off until the mid 2010s… Now I when I ever I see the album it just makes me sad….

A gay cop in the 1950’s?

Read some history.

I the original novels there’s a closeted gay cop who kills himself after his secret comes out.

I edited my original comment.

I read the books before I saw the movie. In the books, the character is straight.

However, on the show ‘Mad Men’ and in the novel ‘The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” there are characters so deeply closeted that they’d rather die than admit who they are.

That’s the kind of ‘gay’ I was thinking.
