Default LGBT campaigners launch boycott: Zoolander 2

http://www.standard.co.uk/showbiz/ce...-a3121686.html

In my opinion, I think it's a bit silly of them to say "the film endorses harmful and dangerous perceptions of the queer community at large" since the 'outrage' is only based off a few seconds of footage from the trailer.

Regardless, Zoolander's a bit of fun and should be seen as such, I think they're taking it a bit too seriously. If you're going to have a film that pokes fun at people, then no-one should be off limits.

I actually think it's attitudes like this which is why LGBT characters are represented in such a boring standardised way (or not at all) in general media because of studios fearing a backlash.
