GLAAD, Outfest will not boycott Sundance Film Festival...

Advocate.com reports the following: Amid talk from some gays about boycotting the Sundance Film Festival because some of its movies are screened at a Cinemark theater owned by a major Prop. 8 contributor, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and Outfest have announced that they will participate in the prestigious film showcase.

GLAAD president Neil Giuliano said in a statement released this week: "Some have suggested that staying away from Sundance will help make a statement that will help our cause. Yet for many LGBT filmmakers, Sundance is their single most important opportunity to ensure their stories about our community reach a broad audience, and they are not in a position to stay away from that opportunity. We certainly respect those with a different view, but we believe we must be there, be visible, and ensure the LGBT community has a place to come together."
