I cannot recall the last time I refused to see any movie because of the off screen views of anyone involved? To be honest, I am more inclined to watch movies when others start screaming boycott.
However some groups are more prone to take offense than others because they have found it an effective means to quiet opposition to their point of view, regardless if they are right or wrong. I would prefer that instead of attempting to bully others into your point of view you just shut up. As in, be reasonable or go home
Well you see. If anyone screams boycott, I am inclined to investigate. And then my findings are used to decide, what I am going to do.
And after investigating, I have to say, that I would not watch the movie.
The same for me is, if someone staring/directing was a know member of say scientology. As someone promoting an organization, that clearly goes against every value I honor should not earn money from me, that would then help said organization.
So I would not want my money to help someone that intolerant.
If people I know would go there, I would ask them, if they knew, that with going, they support someone that intolerant, someone being that derogative to gays.
