The United States agency that classifies films has come under criticism for giving an R rating to a gay themed teen comedy.
Darren Stein, the Director of the feature film ‘G.B.F.’ has shared his disappointment that the teen comedy has been given the restrictive rating in the USA.
“I always thought of G.B.F. as a PG-13 movie,” Stein, wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week.
“We were given an R ‘For Sexual References’ while not having a single F-bomb, hint of nudity or violence in the film. Perhaps the ratings box should more accurately read ‘For Homosexual References’ or ‘Too Many Scenes of Gay Teens Kissing.’
“I look forward to a world where queer teens can express their humor and desire in a sweet, fun teen film that doesn’t get tagged with a cautionary R.”
