Brett Ratner To Judge Pro-Gay PSA Competition!

After slipping out the word “fags” during a Q&A session before his film Tower Heist, Brett Ratner was under a lot of scrutiny…

However, realizing his mistake, Ratner is now ready to put a stop to antigay speech by judging a pro-gay PSA contest.

The filmmaker has teamed up with designer Tom Ford, the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network, and the Ad Council to create a PSA campaign called “Think Before You Speak.”

The goal is to raise awareness of how damaging the use of terms like “faggot” and “that’s so gay” can be.  The campaign asks aspiring filmmakers to submit 30-second PSA videos on the subject, which will be accepted until May 2.  The videos will then be judged and the winner will be honored at the GLSEN Respect Awards in Los Angeles.
