CBS Films has said it will ‘look into’ why all reference to homosexuality was removed from the U.S. DVD release of the movie Pride, reports Pink News.
The U.S. DVD cover had no references to homosexuality. The original text described the main characters in the movie as a ‘London-based group of gay and lesbian activists.’ This has been changed to ‘London-based activists.’
CBS Films – which released the DVD alongside Sony Pictures – told PinkNews that it is “looking into” the release – and points out its own Web site carries the original synopsis, which does reference sexuality.
The company said: “We’re looking into this now and our page for the film remains the same as it has for months.”
The film company later tweeted a review of Pride making its content clear, writing: “Pride, a film about gay and lesbian support for striking Welsh miners in the ’80s, resonates today”
