TV shows with gay characters could lose Florida tax credits
A new bill being considered for Florida could mean that television shows or films with gay characters within them that are shot in the state could miss out on vital tax credits because they are not deemed “family friendly”.
Current state law grants tax credits on productions considered “family friendly” - with no smoking, sex, nudity or profane language.
The proposal by Republican Rep. Stephen Precourt of Orlando would expand the field of disqualified productions as those that include any “exhibit or implied act” of nontraditional family values and gratuitous violence.
Stephen Precourt told the Palm Beach Post that shows with gay characters were not “the kind of thing I’d say that we want to invest public dollars in”.
UM HELLO ITS 2010 K THX DIE.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So basically it has been decided to write laws that discriminate. That’s fine segeragate me with a whole bunch of other gay men. No but seriously WTF Florida you don’t know how to vote for a President and aparently are taking civil rights back about 50 years.
