TV shows with gay characters could lose Florida tax credits
A new bill being considered for Florida could mean that television shows or films with gay characters within them that are shot in the state could miss out on vital tax credits because they are not deemed “family friendly”.
Current state law grants tax credits on productions considered “family friendly” - with no smoking, sex, nudity or profane language.
The proposal by Republican Rep. Stephen Precourt of Orlando would expand the field of disqualified productions as those that include any “exhibit or implied act” of nontraditional family values and gratuitous violence.
Stephen Precourt told the Palm Beach Post that shows with gay characters were not “the kind of thing I’d say that we want to invest public dollars in”.
UM HELLO ITS 2010 K THX DIE.
