It's time to apply positive discrimination to the entertainment industry

Well here's some proof. Here is an extract from the original draft* of the screenplay for Brokeback Mountain. ///// INT. DAY. MLS. Ennis, a gun-toting, no prisoner-taking, hard-drinking, tobacco-chewing cowboy walks into a saloon in rural Wyoming and sees Jack, a cattle-rustling, wife-beating, ten gallon hat-wearing desperado standing at the bar. Ennis reaches down, undoes his holster and pulls out his pistol. Ennis – Turn around, Jack, I'm going to fill you full of lead. Jack – Hot diggerdy dang. Is that so, Ennis? Goddamit, you'll have to be quicker than a rattlesnake on a hot tin roof to beat me to the draw, yee-ha! CUT TO MONTAGE. Ennis and Jack having a shootout before rolling around in the dusty street outside in a deadly embrace. ///// Now when the writer submitted the script to the film studios, the heterophobic producers said they loved it and would make the film, but they would have to edit it slightly first. So the screenplay was duly revised to the following: ///// INT. DAY. MLS. Ennis, a gym-going, no animal product-eating, herbal tea-drinking, non-smoking cowboy walks into a gay bar in rural Wyoming and sees Jack, a musical-loving, flower-arranging, leather cap-wearing contemporary dance instructor standing at the bar. Ennis reaches down, undoes his flies and pulls out his pecker. Ennis – Bend over, Jack, I'm going to fill you full of love custard. Jack – Ooh, well knock me down with a feather! Is that so, lover-boy? Well, you'll have to buy me a pina colada first, sweetie-pie. CUT TO MONTAGE. Ennis and Jack having a nice quiet drink together before rolling down a grassy hill in a loving embrace. ///// You see how they queered it up there? They may have even wanted to change the name to "Bareback Mounting" but the scriptwriter probably put her foot down and said no. And, yes, it was a woman – Annie Proulx. What did you expect? A straight man? Don't make me laugh. . http://www.imdb.com... My opponent then claimed that I insinuated that Tom Cruise and John Travolta were secretly gay because everybody hates them anyway and that it was a cheap trick to associate them with homosexuality. This isn't the reason I picked those two names it is because Tom Cruise threatened to bankrupt a publisher if he released a video that he had of Tom Cruise performing homosexual acts and because John Travolta has been spotted kissing other men - on the lips. . http://news.bbc.co.uk... . http://www.dailymail.co.uk... By the way, I did provide one source about Hollywood being taken over by the gay mafia in the first round but there isn't much else out there because the male homosexual community wants to keep the real facts hushed up so that they can continue to portray themselves as victims of homophobia and thus get preferential treatment. And as far as women in entertainment are concerned there are dozens of film festivals dedicated solely to women. . http://widc.org... And as if there weren't enough female orientated shows on TV already, women television bosses such as BBC2 controller Janice Hadlow wants even more. . http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk... Media watchers in Britain will not be surprised at this ever-increasing feminisation of the BBC schedules though. Back in 2001, BBC2's top-rated programme was the much loved car programme Top Gear. So what did the channel do? They axed it. That's right – they cancelled it from the schedules completely and replaced it with yet another programme about cooking called The Naked Chef. Makes no sense, does it? So who made this crazy decision? Who was in charge at the time? Step forward the 'high priestess of lifestyle television' Jane Root who also replaced other documentaries with programmes like Coupling (about relationships) and What Not To Wear (about women's fashion). . http://en.wikipedia.org...(1977_TV_series) . http://en.wikipedia.org... Since it clearly wasn't ratings Root that influenced these decisions we must conclude that it was her own personal preferences, as I stated in the first round. Finally, I accept that many advertisers are happy with female-orientated schedules, especially if they are flogging cosmetics or groceries or household detergents, but what about adverts for car accessories or power tools or razor blades? They are few and far between in comparison because there are so few programmes aimed at men. In conclusion, it is imperative that in the interests of both balanced scheduling and fairness in the workplace that positive discrimination practices in favour of straight men should be implemented in the entertainment industry forthwith. Thank you. * As the original draft of Brokeback Mountain was not published I have had to re-create it using my imagination.
