These roles usually go to Brits or Australians who are perceived to be classier and more alpha macho by casting directors and studios - despite pretending to be American.

In regards to Bieber, a lot of his fans WANT him to be gay-i guess this woman has never heard of "slash" fiction. I imagine Bomer's casting would not damage him-at least with female fans. no this is more about hollywood being behind the times with society and using said soceity to justify its bigotry.

He's the next gen Paul Newman or Cary Grant. So can't wait for The Normal Heart, leave the CGI flix to the lower tier. They really should have chosen tom Welling for this but either way will be just another forgetable reboot. Henry's not much bigger than Matt but they will film it to make up for his stature since Superman should be about 6 foot 4.

He is for Equal rights for gays and he repealed Don't Ask Don't Tell! I would say that is a big deal. They rest is up to States. Here is a problem. Superman is seen as a Family institution. If they ever put a Gay actor all those Family Values people would be up in arms. Also - The whole idea is fantasy, if the women can't feel that they have a shot with SUperman, then it is a loss of MONEY $$$$$$. Money talks Bull$hit walks. So it is not they he is gay, but that he doesn't represent what they need to keep woman fantasizing over the franchise. Why would you fantasize about a man you know will never desire you? Even though there is a 1 in 100 million chance of ever encountering RPATZ, the fantasy is real because if you ever meet him, you stand a chance. THAT IS THE POINT! So what should Obama do?

Warner Bros. is a California based company and sexual orientation is covered under the state EOE act. However, if the person who was in charge before Christopher Nolan (Ratner?) hired him and Christopher Nolan chose not to go with him, that is not a "firing", he did not go with the director (Ratner?) either. If Henry Cavill is *really* 6'1" that is like 6'7" in actor height so he is more than big enough. I like that an actress in her late 30s will play Lois Lane against a Superman who is at most 30.

They said *IF* he were gay he would lose his fanbase. This is true. His fan base is 12 year old girls in love and their fantasies would be dead. If Brett Ratner wanted Matt Bomer, I'm glad he was passed over. He's very, very good looking but he's not hot. Speaking of gay and The Rat - wasn't The Rat fired for saying something homophobic?
