Because you know the movie itself and all the other people who worked on it must punished also. Right?

Via press from GLAAD:

In light of the latest allegations against director Bryan Singer, GLAAD has made the difficult decision to remove Bohemian Rhapsody from contention for a GLAAD Media Award in the Outstanding Film – Wide Release category this year. This week’s story in The Atlantic documenting unspeakable harms endured by young men and teenage boys brought to light a reality that cannot be ignored or even tacitly rewarded.

Singer’s response to The Atlantic story wrongfully used ‘homophobia’ to deflect from sexual assault allegations and GLAAD urges the media and the industry at large to not gloss over the fact that survivors of sexual assault should be put first.

The team that worked so hard on Bohemian Rhapsody as well as the legacy of Freddy Mercury deserve so much more than to be tainted in this way. Bohemian Rhapsody brought the story of LGBTQ icon Freddy Mercury to audiences around the world, many of whom never saw an out and proud lead character in a film or saw the impact of HIV and AIDS in fair and accurate ways. The impact of the film is undeniable.

We believe, however, that we must send a clear and unequivocal message to LGBTQ youth and all survivors of sexual assault that GLAAD and our community will stand with survivors and will not be silent when it comes to protecting them from those who would do them harm.

Other films that involve Singer now or in the future should take note of the backlash to The Atlantic story and other previous allegations. The industry cannot let those who perpetuate harms against anyone – especially vulnerable young people – go unnoticed or unchecked any longer.

On a personal note. Back2Stonewall.com was entered for a nomination for “Best Blog”. How much do you want to bet we won’t be nominated.

The 30th Annual GLAAD Media Awards will be announced tomorrow morning.

On a personal note. Back2Stonewall.com was entered for a nomination in the “Best Blog” category. Would anyone like to wager that we won’t be nominated?

UPDATE!!!

And yes! Back2Stonewall DID NOT get nominated AGAIN this year. But the nasty homophobic Monica Roberts of Trans Griot did! Along with one I never heard of.
