Gay Movies Not Eligible For Florida Film Tax Credit

A proposed incentive package for the film industry being considered by Florida lawmakers would likely exclude films with gay characters, the Palm Beach Post reported.

Lawmakers hope the $75 million package of tax credits and incentives will entice filmmakers to set up shop in Florida. The bill’s so-called family-friendly tax credit, however, discourages the production of movies that include depictions of gay families. The tax credit would only be available to films that do not exhibit or imply “nontraditional family values.”
