I had a whole post that included Matt Damon's surprising admission that he stopped casual use of “fag” just months ago when his daughter persuaded him it was harmful ...
but it vanished. I guess Matt missed this in 2009: In a nutshell: If Damon is agreeing the word is harmful, late or not, I'm glad.
And that he says in another interview that as a white movie star he has blind spots is at least self-aware. Because on top of his latest act of obtuseness, don't forget that in 2015 — just six years ago, after playing gay in The Talented Mr.
Ripley and Behind the Candelabra — he urged gay actors to stay in the closet, because audiences should not know actors' sexualities.
