Cooper Unhappy with Use of “Gay” in Trailer

According to a press release from GLAAD:

Today, after Anderson Cooper also spoke out against the scene, Universal confirmed to GLAAD that the offensive joke will be removed from promotional campaigns from this point forward, including in the trailer currently playing in movie theaters.

It’s yet been confirmed or denied if the scene will be deleted from the final cut of the film.

As reported earlier:

Earlier this week on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Anderson Cooper spoke out about being upset over the derogatory use of the word “gay” in a trailer for the upcoming Universal Studios film “Dilemma” starring Vince Vaughn

Cooper stated:

“I was sitting in a movie theater over the weekend and there was a preview of a movie, and in it, the actor said, ‘That’s so gay,’ and I was shocked that not only that they put it in the movie, but that they put that in the preview, they thought that it was okay to put that in a preview for the movie to get people to go and see it.
“I just find those words, those terms, we’ve got to do something to make those words unacceptable cause those words are hurting kids.”
