Euphoria star Lukas Gage responds to criticism over playing LGBTQ+ roles
Lukas Gage clapped back at a critic after he was called out for accepting LGBTQ+ roles. On 9 June, a Twitter user criticised the Euphoria star for portraying queer characters. “If Hollywood can stop hiring non LGBTQIA+ actors like @lukasgage to play LGBTQIA+ characters, that would be great,” they said. “He has played 4 so far.
1 was enough.” Since breaking out onto the acting scene in 2012, Gage has played an array of queer characters in shows like Love, Victor, Into the Dark and the HBO hit drama White Lotus.
In response to the user’s criticism, Gage tweeted, “u dont know my alphabet.” However, the exchange between the two didn’t stop there.
After Gage defended himself with his initial tweet, the original poster asked for the actor to “enlighten the world,” which resulted in the Queer as Folk star writing “no” in response.
