Jan 2021. Is Woke Losing It

Russell T Davies has said he believes only gay actors should play gay characters. The former Doctor Who writer has said he only cast gay actors in his new channel 4 drama It's A Sin following the story of three young men in London in 1981 at the beginning of the HIV epidemic. Davies told Radio Times: “I'm not being woke about this but I feel strongly that if I cast someone in a story, I am casting them to act as a lover, or an enemy, or someone on drugs or a criminal or a saint. “They are not there to ‘act gay’ because ‘acting gay’ is a bunch of codes for a performance. This is Woke going Nuts.
