"It's upsetting that it is such a big deal. I wish it weren't an issue all the time. It's funny that people say it's a departure, because I've been acting since I was a child. I've played three gay roles out of hundreds"

In this quote, Randy Harrison reveals his aggravation with the truth that his sexuality is continuously seen as a huge deal and a problem. He wishes that it wasn't something that was continuously raised and talked about. He finds it ironic that people view his representation of gay characters as a departure, when in truth he has been acting given that he was a kid and has played many different roles. Regardless of this, he acknowledges that he has just played 3 gay roles out of the hundreds he has depicted, highlighting the limited representation of LGBTQ+ characters in the show business. In general, Harrison's words shed light on the ongoing battle for approval and representation of the LGBTQ+ community in the media.
