Her name is Gabriela (Roselyn Sanchez), and despite the fact that she's the choreographer on a gay cruise, she knows so little about gay men that she falls for Jerry's strategy: He will pretend to be gay, so that he can get close to her and then dramatically unveil his identity, or something.

Sometimes I wonder if this happens because bm didn't do gay roles or because they refuse to do non angry bm roles.

You don't get a leading role on a huge franchise like MCU, Creed and lead a HBO show within 3-4 years out of no where just because of talent.

Did Chadwick ever do a gay role? I don't think so and he became Black Panther. He wasn't some.proligic actor beforehand.

Honestly, there are more people who didn't do "gay roles" before the popped, but every once in a while there is, and all it does is prove that "you have to do or be gay to get on" to some people.

For every one actor who has a role like that, you could name 5 who don't, but it won't matter.

Yeah, thinking about other popping Black actors don't recall Michael B. Jordan, Daniel Kaluuya, or Mahershala Ali do any gay roles?

He played portrayed a real life gay activist in a miniseries about LGBTQ activist on ABC.

What was his big break was the Last Black Man in San Francisco, that role got Feige's attention. If you've seen the movie, there's a scene that you know right away is what would've made him go, he can be Kang.

There was another really bad one I saw in theaters with Cuba, Chill Factor?
