Delta Airlines To Restore Gay Sex Scenes From ‘Booksmart’ and ‘Rocketman’
Earlier this week Olivia Wilde, director of the movie ‘Booksmart’, expressed her frustration over the in-flight censorship of a lesbian sex scene from her acclaimed film. Now Delta Airlines announced they will restore previously omitted gay sex scenes both from the movie ‘Booksmart’ as well as the movie ‘Rocketman’.
“We are immediately putting a new process in place for managing content available through Delta’s in-flight entertainment,” spokeswoman Emma Protis told Variety. Also being restored is a gay sex scene in the film “Rocketman” between Taron Egerton and Richard Madden.
“Studios often provide videos in two forms: a theatrical, original version and an edited version. We selected the edited version and now realize content well within our guidelines was unnecessarily excluded from both films. We are working to make sure this doesn’t happen again,” Protis said.
Protis added, “The studio has agreed to provide a special Delta edit that retains the LGBTQ+ love scenes in both ‘Booksmart’ and ‘Rocketman’ that will be on our flights as soon as possible. Currently, we have ‘Gentleman Jack,’ ‘Imagine Me and You,’ and ‘Moonlight’ onboard, and countless content in the past that clearly shows it is not our practice to omit LGBTQ+ love scenes.”
