Gethin Anthony, who plays gay in HBO's
Game of Thrones, says he's straight but not narrow.
Anthony is the latest celebrity to join
actor Avan Jogia's Straight
But Not Narrow campaign, which Jogia says is about “guys
talking to guys about guys who like guys.”
In Game of Thrones, Anthony
plays Renly Baratheon, the brother of King Robert.
“We're all human beings, right?”
Anthony rhetorically asks in the 90-second PSA. “So, it doesn't
matter if you're a guy who likes girls, or a guy who likes guys, or a
guy who likes girls and guys, or girl who likes guys and girls, or a
girl who wants to be a guy, or a guy who dresses like girls, or a
transvestite lesbian stand-up comedian, or a Transylvania vampire
lesbian. No wait, they're not human beings, so you can do what you
like to him. But all those other categories I mentioned, human
beings, right, we're all people. Which means that we deserve each
other's respect.”
“So, we're here to say: it's great to
be mates with mates who mate with other mates,” he adds. (The

Anthony joins Cory
Monteith, who plays Finn Hudson on the Fox musical-comedy Glee,
and 18-year-old Josh
Hutcherson, a co-star of the lesbian moms film The Kids Are
All Right, in recording a PSA for the campaign.
