Garfield's comment didn't sit well with the LGBT community, in part because of the challenges people already face. you will never understand.- Santa's Little Yumnut (he/him) July 5, 2017 Straight tourists who try on oppression for kicks make me so tired. Garfield also made waves on Twitter, where several users compared the actor to James Franco, who in 2016 did an interview with himself as both Straight James and Gay James. Attitude, for example, published a story with the headline "ANDREW GARFIELD: 'I'M A GAY MAN NOW BECAUSE I WATCH RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE.'" Queerty condemned the remarks, writing that even though Garfield was likely not trying to be offensive, "it doesn't really work like that." "I am a gay man right now, just without the physical act-that's all." This is my life outside of this play," Garfield said. "My only time off during rehearsals-every Sunday I would have eight friends over, and we would just watch Ru.
Then he brought up RuPaul's Drag Race, the reality TV contest that's been airing for nine seasons.
Garfield explained that he spent a lot of his free time preparing to become Prior. It was about doing honor, doing justice and knowing my herstory." I adore it, but a big concern was what right do I have to play this wonderful gay role?. "Maybe I'll have an awakening later in my life, which I'm sure will be wonderful and I'll get to explore that part of the garden, but right now I'm secluded to my area, which is wonderful as well.

Characters evolve with time, reflecting the problems of the days youth.Andrew Garfield inadvertently set off a controversy this week when he proclaimed himself to be a gay man "without the physical act." No one is taking the original character away, just varying a certain version for a modern audience. Why should they be forced to care about an all new character when they already see so much of themselves in Spider-man. Sure, there could be all new bisexual Superheros, but people still love Spider-man and want to relate to him. They can be shy, they can be just like every other kid, just a little confused on why they are told they are different and should be treated differently. Yes, Gay people on shows are often annoying, in your face, and flamboyant, this is a stereotypical view and not at all like a lot of gay and bisexual people you meet. Saying Gay people should create their own culture and get out of the norm angers me.
Modern Teenagers are often unsure about their sexuality, it brings a lot of confusion during growing up. I see Spider-man exploring his sexuality as a great thing, he doesn't have to be gay, but he would be exploring parts of the modern teen which many could identify with. Sure, it's probably not going to happen, but having the option to think about the idea is good. Being overly aggressive to the idea is pointless.
