INDIEWIRE: Twenty-year-old Michael Cimino, currently in the star-making lead role on Love, Victor, admits he was coached not to play gay, and for all the same old, tired reasons:
I’ve heard it for years: “You shouldn’t take a gay role for your first big role because then people are gonna think you’re gay, or they’re gonna think you only play gay roles.” And it’s like, what does that matter? Why does that matter?

Lofthouse's behavior was menacing and out of nowhere. (Image via Instagram @jordanlizchan)
USA TODAY: Insane! Can't keep up with all the bad behavior. Cancel culture is NOT the problem. This tech CEO went on a vicious racist rant because some Asian patrons had the gall to sing happy birthday at a restaurant. His actions were so vile the server flipped out on him and autonomously banned him from life. His name is Michael Lofthouse, and he apparently has an Asian sister-in-law and vacations in Bali:
Here is how he replied when confronted on social media:
After making perfectly clear how he feels about Asians and about his own place in the world, Lofthouse later apologized in a statement to ABC7:
My behavior in the video is appalling. This was clearly a moment where I lost control and made incredibly hurtful and divisive comments. I would like to deeply apologize to the Chan family. I can only imagine the stress and pain they feel. I was taught to respect people of all races, and I will take the time to reflect on my actions and work to better understand the inequality that so many of those around me face every day.
I mean, really? LOL. You're all so upset about cancel culture — are people supposed to accept hollow apologies that are ONLY MADE upon threat of so-called cancellation?
