Gay For Pay w/ Taylor Ortega – Ep. 68

Taylor Ortega (Kim Possible) joined us to dyke out about Shay
Mitchell, Cate Blanchett, Rachel Weisz, and all the other actors
who play multiple queer roles on screen but identify as straight on
the streets. Before we dive into the ladies who keep us asking “but
is she???” we talk about Carolyn’s moment in the sapphic sun which
of course leads to us discussing The L Word for the 20th time. We
also clear the air about a future guest who had some recent
controversy in the news and let you know why we won’t be bringing
it up next month when she sits down with us (spoiler: it’s not
because she’s Carolyn’s number 3 crush). But then we get right
down to business, and we #namenames. Why are some actresses casted
for queer roles when there are many queer actors who are available
for those same parts? Who is convincing and who isn’t? Can queer
people play straight characters? We wrap it up with a listener
question and embarrassing exchange about TikTok. Be sure to watch
Taylor as Shego in the Kim Possible movie when it comes out on The
Disney Channel. -Keep the podcast a-lez and gay by donating to our
