Gay actors can do anything straight actors can do, including being romantic leads in mainstream shows and movies. They don’t need to be typecast for gay movies to have success, and frankly their sexuality isn’t a ton to have in common if you’re trying to portray another person. Their accent, the way they move, their chemistry with a scene partner, their aesthetic, particularly if a piece is historical and having a look that works with the era’s fashions and sensibilities is desired are all much more important than being theoretically interested in someone of the same gender as their scene partner.
And gay men have been doing the damn thing in movies since the beginnings of cinema, no need of exclusively setting aside parts for gay characters. The difference now is that they can actually come out and be believed by most people to be capable of playing any kind of person. Be one of those people that believe gay people can act.

My YouTube playlist with fan videos for Sense8. The lion's share of the playlist are Will/Riley, Wolfgang/Kala and general Sense8 vids, but there are others as well.
I'm going to repeat myself, over and over. But I think, the following, applies to all fandoms.
In my opinion, playlists are currently one of the best ways to find fan videos on YouTube. Especially for less popular or older fandoms or smaller creators. If you have one created for the Sense8, I encourage you to reblog or comment under this post with the link. Let's spread the love for vids and vidders and help each other find hidden gems.
Also, please, if you like any of the videos, don't get discouraged by the fact that they're old. Like, save and make comments. I have yet to find a creator who isn't happy when people interact with their older creations. It can make someone's day. Who knows, maybe it will motivate them to dust off their skills and love for the fandom, if they have time.
