James Corden Accused Of ‘Gay-Face’ In Netflix’s ‘The Prom’

Even though Netflix’s “The Prom” tells the story about an LGBTQ teen defying the traditional values of her small-town neighbors with the help of some New York Broadway veterans, comedian James Corden’s performance as Barry Glickman has sparked outrage for his “stereotypical” portrayal.

According to IndieWire, several critics and entertainment journalists have criticized director Ryan Murphy and Netflix for casting Corden (a straight-white-cis male) in the role of a flamboyant gay man.
