I saw the movie Pride a couple months ago. The DVD was released in America a couple weeks ago and watchful customers noticed the image on the back cover had been changed from promotional materials used in the theatrical release. In particular, the big sign saying "Lesbians & Gays Support the Miners" has been removed. Does that imply "straightwashing" – trying to disguise the gay content? And why are the we having such a hard time finding out who did it and what their reasons are?
The director, Matthew Warchus, seems fine with it if that will get the movie into a wider audience, though he says it was clumsily done.
