And the leading actor who I'm supposed to have romantic scenes with is outrageously gay. This was a casting error but how do I assess this situation.

You are both actors, just act and go with it. If he made lead he is an actor and will do very well.

This is not a casting error, this is a judgmental error on your part.

He's not Rock Hudson, know one is going to believe that he would actually be in a hetero realationship with a woman. He's as dandyish as could be,

As an actor, you don't.

If you don't think you can do the job, resign.
If you believe you were miscast, why did you take the position?

Well, perhaps once he gets to know you he will find other reasons to be repulsed by you?

it's called 'acting'. he'll act like he's interested in you (in the play), and you'll act the same way. if the director doesn't feel there's any convincing chemistry, then it's on him/her. without seeing any rehearsals at all, i'd be inclined to fire you, by your attitude. just sayin'.

do your job...don't expand its scope.

that could just be your breath. who knows? don't come to conclusions for which you have no concrete proof of.

Maybe he has a MM profile and knows your... "character"...

Btw., there are several gay breakers of female hearts on television who play the straight heart throb perfectly:

Doogie Howser (How I met your mother) and Matt Bomer (White Collar) just to name two actors for now.
