Queer Lion Award Debuts in Venice

August 3, 2007

Queer Lion Award

The Venice Film Festival has officially introduced the “Queer Lion Award,” which will be bestowed upon films that accurately portray gay characters.

So, there you go: An accurate representation of gays in film is still special enough to garner awards. I wonder if “I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry” will be up this year?
