GLAAD not happy with Bruno, what do you think?
Bruno may have won over the movie going public, but not everyone is laughing.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is not so happy with Sacha Baron Cohen and his film.
GLAAD says Bruno, which follows the adventures of a gay Austrian fashionista, reinforces negative stereotypes and “decreases the public’s comfort with gay people.”
It says some of the movie’s scenes take the joke way too far, the Associated Press reports.
In one scene Bruno hot tubs it up with his adopted African son and naked men involved in a sex act.
“Scenes like that don’t help America understand the hundreds of thousands of gay families who get up every day, do the carpool then rush home to make dinner and be with their children,” GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios says.
What do you think?
Is GLAAD overreacting or are they on to something? Take our poll above.
