Following the heated debate surrounding diversity in Hollywood Ejiofor made his way to &#;The Times&#; where he shared his thoughts on the matter.
He shared:
I expect this changes (but) I think it’s probably harder to be gay. I think sexuality is still marginalised in a way that is pretty clear. I think it’s tough. I consider for one’s control piece of thought, for one’s control sense of self and psychological health, I feel enjoy that’s the horrible thing about ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ and all that ****ed-up ****, because it produces a sense of shame, and therefore this sense of organism ‘less than’, you know? And I hate that. I hate that for anybody.

With the help of head directors, actors, writers and activists, we count down the most essential Queer films of all time
Like queer culture itself, gay cinema is not a monolith. For a lengthy time, though, that’s certainly how it felt. In the past, if homosexual lives and issues were ever portrayed at all on screen, it was typically from the perspective of white, cisgendered men. But as more opportunities have opened up for queer performers and filmmakers to tell their possess stories, the scope of the LGBTQ+ experiences that have made their way onto the screen has gradually widened to more frequently include the transgender community and queer people of colour.
It’s still not perfect, of course. In Hollywood, as in population at large, there are many barriers left to breach and ceilings to shatter. But those recent strides deserve to be celebrated – as undertake the bold films made long before the mainstream was willing to receive them. To that close, we enlisted some Queer cultural pioneers, as successfully as Time O Image by Courtney Nicholas Twelve Years a Slave is a real account, written in , by a man named Solomon Northup, a freeborn black man from Modern York who was an accomplished violin player, and had worked a variety of professions, but was led away from his home and family under the pretense of playing violin in a circus—and then kidnapped and sold into slavery. The manual was not well received when it was published in ; some considered the account fiction, which it was not, and it was found by the young Dr. Sue Eakin in the midth century, who spent her life championing the manual. In it was released as a film by the video artist, Steve McQueen. The manual and the movie detail many of slavery’s horrors, as experienced by Northup; he just position them down as they happened to him, almost like a catalog in the spirit of De Sade: a catalog of horrors. Is this captivation by the horrible why the 19th-century book and the contemporary movie are so attractive? I shudder to write it, but why are they so attractive? Yes, they are both beautifully rendered: the book in its wonderful presentation of Gay Slave Handbook, a comedy written, directed and produced by Blake Bradford, at the Producers Club from the 21 - 24 Sep Gay Slave Handbook follows a group of former high school friends over the course of one night as they endeavor to cope without the great love they used to share for one another. Sebastian (Vincent Giardina) is completing a video assignment for a movie class that takes on the form of a confessional/interrogation with his childhood best friend Giulia (Melissa Macleod Herion). They communicate openly of their past loves, the roots of their sexuality, and dealing with growing up apart from one another. Both have left their hearts behind them in the past, but what Sebastian does not know is that Giulia has invited Sebastian's first love, Jimmy (Nate Steinwachs), to unite in the interrogation. Set in New York City during a region-wide blackout, Gay Slave Handbook is a dark comedy that explores the bounds of true human connection. Can love transcend religion, disease and transgressions of the past? Can the care
