    Apologies if anyone has already posted this. Pink news are reporting that the US DVD cover of "Pride" has removed all references to homosexuality- arguably a subject that the whole movie is about. The UK release references gay and lesbian activists on the cover, but the US DVD simply says "London-based activists". They've even photoshopped out a "lesbians & gays" sign that the protesters are holding in one of the pictures.

    Supposedly CBS films are now "looking in to the incident".

    There is no excuse. This is homophobic. Even the description doesn't describe the fact that the activists were Lesbians and Gays. No excuse.

    I thought the U.S. version removed homosexuality from the entire movie and not just the cover.

    This is simply ridiculous! The movie is called PRIDE! They can't remove everything related to Gay Pride? That's just not fair…

    The new trend, eh?

    Can't wait for the next Avengers movie, where they digitally remove the team, leaving us with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents only.

    Before we all cry "homophobia", we must make sure there isn't a good reason for this. No studio would risk that kind of hellfire just to spite gays.

    Going out on a limb here, perhaps they didn't want to use such a poorly shopped image? I wonder what's going on with the guy in the brown suite and also with the guy that's holding the megaphone while missing his left arm (he is surely shopped in on both? I'm using a phone and can't tell for sure). Other than that, the revision of the description is suspect at best.

    I think its sort of amusing. I hope some homophobe puts the movie in their dvd player without knowing what its really about, only to get shocked by the fact that the whole movie is about gay activists.

    Seems a very stupid thing to leave out considering what Pride is about and the fact that everyone in America can just look the thing up on their smartphones and see what it's about.

    Certain people seem to think we still live in a world where the internet doesn't exist.

    Nope, as far as I know the movie is the same. Which will be a nice surprise for any homophobes who but it! :lol:
