Florida Lawmaker Attempts To Deny Tax Credit To Movies Filmed With Gay Characters


[…]
Florida has been recognized by eQualityGiving.com for being one of the least gay-friendly states in America. Florida has no statewide law prohibiting discrimination; its constitution prohibits gay marriage; and, it is the only state in the union that forbids gays from adopting children.

Years ago, I had to attend a mandatory “diversity sensitivity seminar” for Ford employees. We had to sit through several videos showing “what to do” “what not to do.”

What I remember is that non-kosher snacks were served. Orthodox Jews (there were a few of us at Ford) were not mentioned in the videos, although there were skits about vegetarians and Muslims who don’t eat pork. In the skit showing a gay man harrassed by a homophobe, the actress playing the homophobe was African-American.

This was about 10 years ago.
