...prompting co-star Heath Ledger to claim the cancellations are “akin to racism.” He added: "I heard a while ago that West Virginia was going to ban it. But that’s a state that was lynching people only 25 years ago, so that’s to be expected. . . . Personally, I don’t think the movie is [controversial] but I think maybe the Mormons in Utah do. I think it’s hilarious and very immature of a society—if two people are loving. I think we should be more concerned if two people express anger in love, than love."

I didn't realize lynching was such a big problem in 1980. Inspired by the election of Reagan no doubt.

And I had no idea that one state could ban a movie, either!

Well, DUH. They are still represented in the Senate by a Klan member...

Actors. Is there anything they don't know?

No doubt Ledger's career is in the toilet. And I thought all this time that brokebutt mounting was such a success? bwahahahaha

I read a column somewhere recently, where one of the GLAD women stated that even her very liberal friends were "reluctant" to see this film, she argued about it with them endlessly, then finally asked them a question. (Get this) She asked them "what do you think is going to happen to you if you see it, for cripes sake"

All I could do is laugh. Apparently this woman thinks people are afraid some unknown thing is going to happen to them, if they see it. Too funny!!! It couldn't possibly be they aren't willing to pay to see a movie they don't want to see, doesn't interest them, or repulses them. Imagine, a thinking that goes along with the idea that one can pay to see any movie of their choice???

This agenda gets more and more boldly bizarre by the minute!
