Florida takes giant step backwards, proposing to cut tax credits to movies promoting “non-traditional” values

By michaelkaminer

We swear we’re not making this up.

A bill that aims to expand the state’s film incentive program would limit a proposed tax credit to productions that do not promote ‘nontraditional family values.’  Yep, that’s code for you-know-what.

The bill’s sponsor, Representative Stephen L. Precourt (l.) – an Orlando Republican – says he’s not targeting the gay community but that shows with gay characters would not be something he’d want ‘to invest public dollars in.’” As always, got to wonder what his real agenda is.

A reminder, people, that the infamous Hays Code prohibited interracial relationships, suggestive dancing, and ‘lustful kisses’” in Hollywood films from the ’30s until the ’60s.  That’s legislator Will Hays, right.
