Click star Adam Sandler is rather busy not only supporting his new movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, but also defending the film’s message.

The movie, which is set to be released in July, is about two firemen (Sandler & Kevin James) pretending to be a gay couple so they can get domestic partnership benefits.

Regardless of the movie being slammed left & right by gay & lesbian rights activists, Sandler insists that there is “nothing wrong” with the movie’s message.

“This movie says there’s nothing wrong with being gay. There’s just something wrong with being gay for Kevin James.”

Then what about the Adam Sandler character then?

    The message of this film is contrary to what is actually happening to the Gay Community in terms of marriage equality and basic human rights when it comes to partnership and marriage in this country. To allow Mr. Sandler to promote a hateful movie in which he stars and produces using the Gay Community as foils for his warped straight humor is something a comic should never do.

    Obviously, without trying to think like a shrink here, Mr. Sandler has his own kind of sexuality problems and is taking it out on a community that is struggling for its identity in a country where freedom and rights are paramount. Gay people do not have the benefits and rights that this movie suggests we have nor so we should not be the foil or butt of Mr. Sandler’s jokes when he is a failed comic and has no material left to help uplift his already sagging d-list career.

    I strongly urge NO ONE TO SEE THIS FILM. It is anti-gay and homophobic and Mr. Sandler’s punishment should be Zero return on his terrible investment in an ill concieved script that promotes hate.

    We’re a single income gay couple with a Domestic Partnership in NJ. This entitled myself to insurance benefits under my wife’s previous employment. However she recently got laid off and her new job does not offer insurance. While she is eligible for COBRA, as her Domestic Partner, I am not. Everytime I see previews for this movie I cringe. Even if no one watches this movie, the previews are doing tremendous damage and feeding fuel to the ignorant view that gays seek, or as the movie seems to imply already have, “special rights”.
    At the end of the day, I don’t have medical or dental insurance simply because I am gay.
