Well let's see what this anti-gay measure is about, eh? The new provision seeks to require review of the final release version before granting the incentive (which the current law does not) and to explicitly define what the law intends by "family friendly" productions that are eligible for the incentive, namely...

those that have cross-generational appeal; would be considered suitable for viewing by children age 5 or older…and do not exhibit or imply any act of smoking, sex, nudity, nontraditional family values, gratuitous violence , or vulgar or profane language.

Oops, excuse me, I forgot to bold "nontraditional family values," which as everybody knows can only mean gays.

Carry on.

"Precourt claims that his provision does not specifically target movies with gay characters but “asked if shows with gay characters should get the tax credit, he said, ‘That would not be the kind of thing I’d say that we want to invest public dollars in.’”

Tax dollars being the tax break to lure filmmakers to Florida

Besides, I thought the GOP was all about LESS GOVERNMENT more free market.  Seems they want even more control then they have now
