Why did they pick a Gay Actor for Sheldon Cooper?

Could it be that the producers were gay? Is there a Hollywood Agenda? Probably not, although the question does have a point as many of the hunks that Penny dates are portrayed as brainless or too masculine for their own good which severs the relationship in some way. But if you look at the other actors, I don’t think that it comes down to a matter of sexuality. They had a wealth of people to choose from. What the casters were looking for that could act asexual and not care about the birds and the bees. They needed someone that could always portray themselves as secular without their eyes being drawn to Penny’s neckline. Parsons might not have been a well-known actor as he is now, but he certainly proved to be the best person for the job, having to memorise long speeches while sounding intelligent enough to know what he is talking about.
