Jack’s the lad

DISNEY has come under fire after it emerged that its first openly-gay character will be played by straight actor/ comedian Jack Whitehall.

In the adventure film Jungle Cruise posh boy Whitehall plays a “very camp” young man.

Cue much handwringing from the LGBT/Snowflake/ Virtue Signalling mob who wail that a gay actor should have landed the part.

Um, why? It’s called acting. You know pretending to be someone you’re not and getting paid for it?

If we follow this to the natural conclusion it means that you’d have to amputate your leg to play Long John Silver, murder loads of kids to portray Ian Brady and be a psychopathic giant peach to be cast as Donald Trump.

Plenty of gay actors play straight parts. Then there’s lesbian Ruby Rose, who has got stick after landing the role of Batwoman for not being gay enough.

WTF??

Especially picked for his continued rehab, evidently. Of course.
