Is luke mcfarland gay

If you're Luke Macfarlane, it goes to what else but actual wood working. A trailblazer at the Hallmark Channel gay over a decade, Macfarlane has helped transform perceptions of the network by demonstrating that its "strong brand can still hold all these different voices," as he told me recently.

That includes the voice mcfarland Gay Man Working a Saw, a role he's not here to embody, but one rooted in his true family history and personal experience of carpentry. It's not make-believe. It's not drag. With "Home Is Where the Heart Is," he's already looking forward to shooting more episodes beyond the six debut episodes now airing.

As a gay carpenter, have you come to expect these kinds of jokes? It is a vocabulary that lends itself well [to that]. They were tongue-and-slot joints, and as soon as I said, "You need to fit your tongue into the slot," it just was pandemonium. I really am. Look, I appreciate innuendo as much as anybody, but no, it's just a different vocabulary.

It totally is. Every profession has a vocabulary. Most of my woodworking friends would not squirm at "tongue and slot. Well, it's really interesting because I luke my first movie for Hallmark gay over 10 years ago and it had this reputation that I mcfarland really totally agreed with. And I am one piece of the evidence that we are not that and that Hallmark is a big luke.

There's room for our stories and those stories can still fit inside the brand of Hallmark, which has a really strong sense of identity, and I would say a stronger sense of identity than almost most network brands. You kind of know what you're going to get when you get a Hallmark movie and the amazing thing is you know what you're going to get when you watch a Hallmark movie, but you're also going to get gay and you're also going to get all the other colors too.

So it is comforting to know that this strong brand can still hold all these different voices. They hired me when I was an [out] gay actor. There was no pretending. There was no double-reverse reveal. What do you feel you can offer to both this generation of young queer people and the broader public by, perhaps, reaching across the aisle through your work and by being a public figure?

It's hard to know how to even begin to answer that question, but I want to start by saying [that I reach people through] good design. I'm getting very emotional.

No, it's OK. So good design. Good design is about listening. You don't come in with an idea about what's good and bad.
