Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I very much doubt it myself.

Of course. Such men are greatly prized for their comparative rarity, but there are still a good chunk of them.

"Just because you ACT in it doesn't mean you LIKE it. It's just a job."

That statement is absurd. NO-ONE gets success in this profession unless they love it so much they'll fight tooth and nail for it.

yeah.

Yeah

no

ofcourse.

Impossible.

Virtually impossible kid.

Imposs.

I guess

yeah why the hell not?

I don't see why not. What do you think people had before TV radio and movies?

Of course. Stereotypes are a bunch of malarky. That's like saying no gay man likes sports (also very untrue). Just because someone is creative (or likes creative arts) doesn't make him gay. Open your mind, dude.

Sure it is! That's like asking if its possible to be straight, male, and like acting for television or the big screen! Its just that stereotypes have really caused many people to think that you have to be gay to like like musical theater.

for sure...think of all the great musicals... example "singing in the rain"..Fred Astaire

they are the few, ha ha ha

Yes it truly is. There's nothing wrong with having a love for the arts. There are many straight men that participate.

Of course. There are many straight males acting in musical theater, so why could a straight male not enjoy it? Some musicals are just astounding.

uh, yeah it is very possible. Your interest don't make you gay, your sexual preference does.

i don't know of any straight men that like theatre but i'd like to hope there are

Yes, believe it or not...


well....as long as your favourite shows aren't Legally Blonde or anything like that...

yes very possible

Five of the performers that I work with are red-blooded men. And their women adore them and jump on them right in front of me. Trust me - they could have any kind of fun that they wanted - and get offers from all camps. Have a healthy and happy leap year!

I liked Sweeny Todd. But that was about a murderous barber. I would say that if you liked Cats. That would make you gay.

Yes! I go to a performing arts school and MANY of the guys are straight! Also, think about Wilson Jermaine Heredia! The guy played a DRAG QUEEN in the broadway production of RENT and is straight! 'Nuff said.

There's a real world out here. Take a look when you're thinking straight.

Absolutely!!! Unless of course, that person is questioning there sexuality based on personal reasons. Definitely not based on a love of musical theater. Thats crazy talk!!

Lola ,straight means no lie .It does not matter what do you listen or what do you wear or how do you act.

why not...or is this a dig at homosexuals in the theater?

Absolutey! Just look at Zach Efron and Richard Geere and John Travolta. They're three of the hottest actors in the market and all of them have had leading roles in musicals. Plus, girls think it's hot. Anyone can run around and throw a ball, but few can act, dance, and carry a tune. Of course there will be some who disagree, but it's impossible to please everyone. Just do what makes you happy and screw everyone else.

Is it possible to be rational, intelligent and a bigot?
I very much doubt it myself.

I realize stereotypes must be fun for you and all, as they only affirm your backwards thinking, but I hope some day you'll have an awakening of some kind.

Of course! I have 10 or more male friends who are all straight, and they love musical theatre!

And if you're feeling confused or anything, know that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with homosexuality. =]

Also, why are you doubting that straight men can't like musical theatre? I bet some kids at your school or something have been teasing you. Just ignore them...they're jerks.

YES! I know three straight guys that are in musicals

well its not possible for you, but it is for others. Also you can enjoy a job/work career/proffession...
