Actor Andrew Garfield Claims He’s ‘Gay Without The Physical Act.’ And That Upsets LGBTQ Activists

I’ve looooooong quit trying to understand the mindset of any of these sub-factions of the Cult of Social Justice. One minute, they’re making demands in order for society to DEFINITIVELY PROVE that society tolerates and celebrates their lifestyles. Then society does, and the aggrieved group still finds something to get butthurt about.

You can’t win with these crybabies, so it’s not even worth trying.

The latest tale in the endless Victimhood Conga Line? Oh, it’s a DOOZY.

According to this, actor Andrew Garfield – best known for playing Peter Parker in “The Amazing Spider-Man” movies (before Tom Holland took over in the latest reboot of the franchise) – is starring in a London stage production of the play “Angels in America,” which is about the AIDS crisis in the gay community in the 1980s. In the play, Garfield portrays a gay man, though in real life Garfield isn’t gay. But that’s why it’s called “acting.” You pretend you are someone you really aren’t.

During an interview about the production, Garfield spoke about getting into the mindset of a gay man, saying that he asked friends of his who are gay what he could do to prepare for his role –

“As far as I know, I am not a gay man,” Garfield told the Gay Times. “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. I adore it.”

The actor admitted to consulting many of his LGBT friends for help with the role, asking them for insight, in addition to watching episodes of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

“My only time off during rehearsals – every Sunday — I would have eight friends over and we would just watch Ru,” Garfield said.

But here’s the line that has the LGBTQ community up in arms –

“This is my life outside of this play,” he added. “I am a gay man right now just without the physical act — that’s all.”

Meaning, that he is living in the gay culture and lifestyle without the sexual act – BECAUSE HE’S PLAYING A PART IN A THEATER PRODUCTION. Anyone could see that’s what he meant.

But because the LGBTQ activist community has a short fuse about these things (and very little sense of humor), many of them have decided that Andrew Garfield is nothing short of Literally Hitler with his terrible “straight white privilege” –

The straight white privilege of Andrew Garfield. Must be nice to be able to be gay without any of the hardships. https://t.co/Amu9suUkDM

Andrew Garfield just proved how straight men are trash. Watching #RPDR doesn’t make you gay. Tool.

Sooooo… the Cult of Social Justice demands “representation” (have I mentioned how much I hate that term?) of every special snowflake designation in every pop culture medium everywhere, or else risk being called a hateful bigot. When they actually get representation in a production, it’s not the “right kind.” Or someone describes it in a way that doesn’t meet the over-the-top standards of the delicate feelings of the subgroup.

This is also the problem with all of these easily-offended social justice groups. You could be saying something that’s completely innocent and innocuous and has nothing to do with any of their complaints or grievances. But you have to think about it from a million different angles, in case it could be twisted into an insult that you never even meant. Even when you DO run it through your mental focus-test-group, it still comes out wrong and you get crap for it (I speak from experience).

If you’ve ever seen the Animaniacs cartoons with the Goodfeathers and seen how Pesto treats Squit, it’s kind of like that –

But instead of a couple goofy cartoon pigeons, it’s an entire activist movement treating you like you tried to kill someone and barely missed, just because they didn’t like something you said.

It gets really old, really fast. Sadly, it only serves to divide people by these stupid census box categories even further.

So, there you go. Andrew Garfield is trying to portray the lifestyle and history of the LGBTQ community in a thoughtful and respectful way, and because of the way he described his preparation process, he’s getting crap from people he’s trying to understand. Typical social justice reaction.
