His Drag Race comments also come amidst discussion the reading, research, historians, activists, and documentaries he consumed to prepare for the role. People, OF COURSE ANDREW GARFIELD DOES NOT THINK HE IS A GAY MAN. Of course having gay sex is an integral part of identifying as a gay man. This is one of those “I’m basically gay LOLOLOL” comments that your annoying straight friends say all the damn time after too many mimosas at brunch while talking about how much they love Carly Rae Jepsen and Glee. Was it the smartest thing to respond to a question about how he prepared to star in a generation-defining masterpiece about the tortured gay experience and the struggle for acceptance and survival by joking about watching RuPaul’s Drag Race? No. And that’s precisely why Garfield’s comments weren’t worth talking about any further. ![]() Yet here we are dissecting his entire spiel.
