I disagree with your assessment on Hollywood not hiring gay actors to play straight love interests.
I don't think any gay actor has ever been turned down because they were gay. Just look at Matt Bomer and NPH. I don't even think they've played gay characters.
Neither are getting straight love interest roles either. Bomer came out after
White Collar. They were stuck with him

. If he was out in the beginning I don't think he would have gotten the role. How many straight love interest roles did Rupert Everett get again? Or how about Ellen once she came out? The only one I can think of was
Mr. Wrong BEFORE she came out as a lesbian.
