wentworth miller, star of a giant tv show with a huge dudebro toxic masc following, actually went on instagram to talk about how he was gonna turn off his comments because he may not be bothered by the homophobic comments, but he doesn't want his young, queer followers to see that, and then he just:
"I just don't want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told)."
and as if this wasn't iconic enough he literally added:
"If you're hot and bothered bc you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a gay one... That's your work."

“In that way, you’ve acknowledged that you’re unsure, that you don’t know what to do or say. You’ve acknowledged that you see them. They feel seen. They feel heard and acknowledged, which is huge for someone who’s in crisis.” Wentworth Miller | Q&A at Oxford Union | 2016 | x
This is…actually the most beautiful and helpful advice, honestly.

some interesting fandom takeaways from this interview:
EDGE: What was it about the role of Captain Cold that had you return to TV? Wentworth Miller: Initially it wasn’t about the role. When I got the offer I’d never even heard of Captain Cold. It was about going back to work after a break from acting. Getting my feet wet. And as far as what I found on the page, when the character was first introduced – this was back on ‘The Flash’ – it didn’t resonate with me. I got where the writers were coming from, but their version felt very traditional. Very classic crime boss. A throwback. I’m more interested in Captain Cold as a throw forward. How is he progressive? And progressed? And I’ve been exploring that in his walk, his talk, his dress. The way he carries himself. I pitched him to the writers as pansexual. I feel confident that if Captain Cold met another superhero or villain with the right combination of smarts, and wit, and badassery, he’d be into them. Their sex or gender would be totally irrelevant.
and my personal favorite part:
EDGE: It is time for a gay superhero on TV and who do you think it should be? Wentworth Miller: I don’t know. All of them?
