In Good Will Hunting, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon allegedly inserted a gay sex scene into the script to test whether the producers were actually reading it. Uh… sure, buddy. THAT’S why.
Mat Damon did not deny he had a relationship with whatsisname, instead he told other actors to keep it in the closet for their careers. That opens the conversation to a lot of interpretation.
“But in terms of actors, I think you’re a better actor the less people know about you, period,” he continued. “And sexuality is a huge part of that. Whether you’re straight or gay, people shouldn’t know anything about your sexuality because that’s one of the mysteries that you should be able to play.”
Damon, who has four children with wife Luciana Barroso, said he was uncomfortable when rumors were spread years ago that he and Good Will Hunting co-writer Ben Affleck might be in a gay relationship together.
“It’s just like any piece of gossip…and it put us in a weird position of having to answer, you know what I mean?” Damon said. “Which was then really deeply offensive. I don’t want to, like, [imply] it’s some sort of disease — then it’s like I’m throwing my friends under the bus.”

They are just best friends. Doesn't have to be sexual
Forcing sexuality on people is bad and shouldn't be done. These posts are disgusting.
They wrote it and were the actors iirc. Also, this isn't forcing sexuality on anyone.
They are implying that the actors aren't just friends but gay bros.

Can you quote that?
The "told other actors to keep it in the closet" headline is sensationalized, IMO:
