"electric cars are gay"

The line maybe be offensive and it may harm peoples feelings however famous and popular directer, Ron Howard is keep it in his up and coming new film. A character played by Vince Vaughn in his film that will release in January states that electric cars are "gay". Although Ron Howard does believe in being sensitive he tell the Los Angeles Times that he does not support censorship. This issue is an interesting one to me because I am very pro gay rights and have a close friend who is gay. However I am also a supporter of comedy. I do not believe that the line in the Ron Howard film is being said to intentionally bash on homosexuals. However not specifically talking talking about gay people the line in the has caused a public outcry about the issue of using language like this in films. GLAAD, the gay lesbian alliance believes that lines such as this being allowed in films is just perpetuating the problem of allowing this type of harsh and offensive language continue. I selected this article on CNN because I felt that this is an issue I truly find myself in the middle and sympathize with both sides of the argument. Having friends who identify with being gay, I would not want lines of films to offend them. Not being gay I truly can not comprehend the frustration of being discriminated in this way. I also support the art of comedy. My friends who are black make black jokes and even my friends who are gay make gay jokes. Jokes are meant to be funny and not always to offend and harm someones feelings. Issues such as the line is the movie are going to become in the headlines more as gay rights continues to be and main issue in our country. It will be interesting to see how film makers such as Ron Howard deal or do not deal with these situations.
