playing it straight

I am a little confused with the year. Can someone enlighten me please?

Newsweek article

(Some good responses.)

(For the record, I had no idea Groff was gay.)

The EW link makes some excellent points. Should actors only play opposite their own spouses (because that worked out REALLY well for Nicole Kidman and and Tom Cruise...) so they don't have to "pretend"? Does Setoodah make his case in his article and the response to his critics? Or is he so obsessed with an actor's being straight or gay that he can't enjoy their performance?
