Ron Howard; In spite of Heavy Criticism is Adamant ‘gay’ joke will stay in Movie ‘The Dilemma’.

Ron Howard is taking a lot of flak and is in a verbal firefight with Gay rights and Lesbian Alliance groups. He told the LA Times and writer Patrick Goldstein he was not going to remove a joke that used the word gay from the script of the Vince Vaughn comedy 'Dilemma.' In his written response; Howard explained that clearly; the line needs to be understood in the context of the Movie and its main character Vaughn.

He went on to say; that he was taking additional heat off the back of past TV shows and Movies that had much more volatile content and provocative reference to gays. I tend to agree with him. That the view portrayed in the Movie is not that of Ron Howard personally; nor of anyone associated with the making of the comedy. Meanwhile; the Gay and Lesbian Alliance is demanding its removal.
