heterosexual characters in
fiction as gay.
gay-washing could make the
movie interpretations amiss
toward the audience
even though the producer is
homosexual, the actors are
straight -> didn't give more
opportunity to trans actors.

in real life, but under the Italian

sun and in full eighties garb they

made the sadly doomed romance

between Oliver and Elio sing.

straight actors playing gay characters in Call Me

By Your Name is "dull" and "preposterous".
