Dean Cain Says He 'Loved' Play Gay Roles, Despite His Conservative Values

Dean Cain may be a Trump supporter with conservative values, but he still says that he “loved” playing gay roles in the past.

The 58-year-old actor is best known for playing Superman in the 90s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Dean also starred in the movie The Broken Hearts Club, playing a gay role in Greg Berlanti‘s directorial debut.

“People don’t realize that in 1999 when we were making it, straight actors did not want to play gay, and they were all advised not to, especially if they were a heartthrob.

The news articles, Tweets, and blog posts do not represent IMDb's opinions nor can we guarantee that the reporting therein is completely factual. I’ve been friends with him forever,” he said of the 79-year-old convicted felon, before devolving into alternative facts, “Tr*mp is actually one of the most empathetic, wonderful, generous people you’ll ever meet.”

Based on that alone, it’s clear Cain’s words can’t be trusted.

In one scene, Cain gets with a newbie twink played by Andrew Keegan and the two makeout during one of the group’s softball games. On a more serious note, he added, "I have a lot of gay friends ...

Superman actor Dean Cain says character's coming out as bisexual is 'bandwagoning'
Superman actor Dean Cain has accused writers of "bandwagoning" after they said the latest incarnation of the character would come out as bisexual.

If they had done this 20 years ago, perhaps that would be bold or brave.
"But brave would be having him fight for the rights of gay people in Iran where they'll throw you off a building for the offence of being gay."
The actor also appeared to refer to a recent storyline about the superhero fighting against the deportation of refugees, suggesting: "Why don't they have him fight the injustices that created the refugees whose deportation he's protesting?

It was not a very uncomfortable thing.”
While you may think that MAGA star would now want all physical evidence of that queer performance relegated to the confines of Alligator Alcatraz, in a new interview Cain couldn’t be prouder of his work playing an out and proud sex-positive gay man. It's a same-sex marriage supporter!

“I don’t think it’s bold or brave or some crazy new direction. I'd like to see the character doing that."
The new storyline is featured in Son of Kal-el #5 from writer Tom Taylor and artist John Timms, out on 9 November.
"I've always said everyone needs heroes and everyone deserves to see themselves in their heroes and I'm very grateful DC and Warner Bros share this idea," said Mr Taylor.
DC chief creative officer and publisher Jim Lee said they "could not be prouder to tell this important story".
He added: "We talk a lot about the power of the DC Multiverse in our storytelling and this is another incredible example."
It is the latest move by an industry that is steadily embracing more diversity.

While famous for playing the Man of Steel in the ’90s TV series Lois & Clark: The Adventures of Superman, these days the 58-year-old is best known for being a member of the MAGA cult and spewing his right-wing opinions anywhere that will have him on.

For me, it's a non-issue."
Cain, who played a gay character opposite Zach Braff and Andrew Keegan in 2000's "The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy," is a registered Republican who reportedly backed Rick Perry and eventually Mitt Romney in the 2012 U.S. presidential election.
