However, if a gay man can "play straight"--which I think Groff does convincingly on "Glee" and Cheyenne Jackson does convincingly on "30 Rock"--they're happy to admit them (assuming they have talent, of course). However, if a gay guy at my school can't "play straight" they have a much harder time getting in to the program--largely because the school doesn't want to graduate people who they think will have a hard time getting professional work. <br /><br />The problem is, most of the gay men at the college level seem to have a much harder time playing straight then Groff or Jackson--who seem to be the exception rather than the rule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
