Deadline: It’s rare for moguls to push moral responsibility to Hollywood, let alone action. Last night at a sold-out LA Gay & Lesbian Center gala that raised $1 million for homeless gay and lesbian youth, honoree Amy Pascal asked the industry to scrutinize its depiction of LGBT characters in film and television: “How about next time, when any of us are reading a script and it says words like fag, or faggot – homo – dyke – take a pencil and just cross it out”.
This is becoming unbearable. What's next no more fat jokes? I guess I missed the memo that said it was unacceptable to point out people's differences. Yes, most gay characters follow gay stereotypes but most if not all other characters abide by one stereotype or another. If you don't want to see a movie that uses faggot or nigger or retard don't watch it. It's that simple. It's not like a movie executive has ever said, "the script is great but do you think we could work in some more gay slurs? I fucking hate gays and want everyone who sees this movie to know they should be second class citizens." If LGBT supporters were really seeking equality why is it not ok to make fun anyone that falls under LGBT umbrella According to these people it's ok to make fun of someone for any reason as long as that reason is not that they are gay. That doesn't seem very equal to me.
