Actually one of the original reasons for the formation of the Academy in the 1920s was to fight the influence of Labor Unions in the film industry. It was the Big Studio bosses who started it.
Interesting, but are you denying or just occluding my original premise, that a homo crying because America is homophobic based on a left-wing outfit such as the Academy, which counts Hollyweird and union members as members, voted against a gay film, is a dumb puff?
Otherwise, thanks for the history lesson.
