I don't think anyone should and it shouldn't really matter, but unfortunately some people judge a person's sexuality by the roles they play on TV. I am bisexual but I listen to relatives and people talk whenever they see someone they consider and always have been straight playing a gay role. It's like they have to be gay just because they act in a role where they kiss another guy (or girl in the case of girls). I find it interesting that nobody ever says "oh he/she must be straight" when gay actors play nothing but straight roles. It's just a little pet peeve I have. The thing is, if you pay me enough money and I am an actor, I will most likely play almost any role.
