JAKARTA - Kristen Stewart is of the opinion that straight actors who support the LGBT + community who play gay characters are not a problem. As long as they want to do it.
The bisexual star, who starred in the romantic comedy Happiest Season, was asked about the debate over straight actors playing gay roles in an interview with Variety.
Stewart admits that she thinks about the debate all the time and would never want to tell a story that someone who had had such an experience truly had to tell.
"It's a 'slick' conversation, because it means I'll never be able to play another straight character if I want to make everyone submit to this particular law," Stewart said.
"I think it's a gray area," he added. “There is a way for men to tell women's stories, or a way for women to tell men's stories. But we need to pay attention to our veins and really have to care. "
The Twilight Saga star added, if someone tells a story about a community and the community doesn't welcome him, go away.
“But if you are, and you become allies and part of that community and there is something pushing you there that makes you uniquely endowed with possibly valuable perspectives, there is nothing wrong with learning about each other. And because it helps each other in telling stories. So I don't have a definite answer for that, "he said.
Stewart went on to say that her Happiest Season co-star Mackenzie Davis "wasn't someone who identified herself as a lesbian", but she was "the only person" who could play the character of Harper's girlfriend.
“Sometimes, artfully, you are only attracted to a certain group of people. I can defend it, but I'm sure someone with a different perspective could make me feel bad about it - and then make me deny everything I just said.
"I acknowledge the world we live in. And I really would never want to ignore someone else's opportunity to do that - I would feel bad about it."
Stewart concludes: "So my answer is to think about what you do! And don't be a jerk."
