When he stepped down as Oscar producer in November over the use of anti-gay slur, Brett Ratner committed to work with GLAAD on issues pertaining to LGBT images in Hollywood. Now the media advocacy group announced a new video campaign, which will be produced and directed by Brett Ratner. The announcement follows meeting between Ratner met and GLAAD’s Board of Directors this past weekend that included Ratner’s successor as Oscar producer, Brian Grazer, directors Adam Shankman and Bryan Singer. “Working together with GLAAD has been a very positive and enlightening experience for me, and I could not be more pleased to be developing this crucial campaign to help educate people that we all share the same humanity,” Ratner said. The upcoming video series will feature Hollywood celebrities, athletes, musicians and politicians ‘coming out of the closet’ as supporters of equality. They will share personal stories about why and how they support the LGBT community and call on Americans to do the same.

Well, that should certainly solve the problem! ha!
what more do you want? his blood? FYI all straight man speaks like him.
What problem is that? Homophobia… or Political Correctness run amok?
This is so last year but if we need Ratner to do this for everybody to quit talking about it, that’s fine with me. Kudos to the Rat man. Let’s now move on. He didn’t kill any dogs…
at least Ratner can now say he’s working. Who else can he trash to line up his next job?
he’s a good guy, knows how to surround himself with great and talented people and at the end of the day he is someone that actors want to be around…and he’s a heck of a lot more talented at directing than McG!
I hope this brings peace and he can move on to more films!
Kiss the brass ring Brett. Nice touch less than two weeks before the Oscars. Are you taking pitches now?
The puffed-up bullies at GLAAD have yet another high-profile human trophy to place on their shelf. Ratner’s statement reads just like those released by prisoners of war or long-term kidnappings. Ask Patty Hearst. I flashed directly to the attitudes and mindsets of the “improved” women in Ira Levin’s ‘Stepford Wives;’ this is exactly the type of corrective behavioralism that book was warning against.
I’ll take the rough, unvarnished, genuine Ratner over the pseudo-lobotomized, post-GLAAD Ratner any day.
The non-elected, self-appointed, well-paid and connected thugs running GLAAD do not speak for all gays and lesbians.
congratulations GLAAD for remaining highly irrelevant, reactive and two steps behind.
Sounds like a case of Damage Control
More positive spin from the rat. Virtually all of these comments are engineered by the man directly. I know – because I was also asked to jump in and help. His only agenda is helping himself. The deal with GLAAD is a negotiation – and te agreement for others not to release more damaging information / knowledge of the rat’s conduct.
Actually, me too. Don’t mention it, though.
