Marvel Wants an Openly Gay Actor to Lead The Eternals

It does seem contradictory. You see so many times the disclaimer that a company has a policy that they don't discriminate based on race, gender, or sexual orientation. Well, hiring only a gay actor means that you're discriminating against all non-gay actors and thus violates the company policy against discrimination.

So basically, it's only discrimination if it prevents gay actors from getting hired but not discrimination if it prevent non-gay actors from getting hired. And according to Brie Larson, it's only racism if it prevents non-whites from being on her press tour but it's not racism if it prevents whites from being on her press tour.
