CBS Films has said it will look intowhy references to homosexuality were removed from the DVD cover of the USrelease of British film Pride.

CBS电影公司已表示将调查在美上映一部英国电影《骄傲》的DVD海报里，涉及到同性恋内容被移除的原因。

The film,about a group of gay and lesbian activists who supported striking miners in the1980s, was released in the UKlast year.

这部电影去年在英国上映，讲述了20世纪80年代一群同性恋人士支持矿工罢工的故事。

Pink News found theDVD cover wording had changed, removing a reference to "gay and lesbianactivists".

桃色新闻（Pink News）发现它的DVD封面措辞改变了，删除了“同性恋积极分子”这一引用。

A lesbianand gay banner was also removed from the back cover.

同性恋标语也从封底中删除。

Thefilm's synopsis on the back of the US DVD was also changed from referring to"a London-based group of gay and lesbian activists" to "a groupof London-based activists".

美国版DVD封底的剧情简介也从“伦敦一群同性恋积极分子”变成“伦敦一群积极分子”

Thebanner which was removed had read "Lesbians & Gays Support TheMiners".

被删掉的标语写的是“女同性恋和男同性恋支持矿工”

CBSFilms, which released the DVD alongside Sony Pictures, told Pink News:"We're looking into this now and our page forthe film remainsthe same as it has for months."

与索尼影视公司一同发行DVD的CBS电影公司告诉桃色新闻：“我们现在正在调查这一事件，而我们的封面也会保持这几个月以来的原样。

BenRoberts, director of the BFI film fund, which backed Pride, said: "I'm notsurprised that the USdistributors have taken a decision to sell more copies by watering down the gaycontent. I'm not defending it, it's wrong and outmoded, but I'm not surprised.

投资了《骄傲》的BFI电影基金主管本·罗伯茨(BenRoberts)说:“对美国经销商想通过淡化同性恋内容从而增加销量的决定我并不感到惊讶。但我不是在为它辩护，因为这是错误的，过时的做法。”

"It'san unfortunate commercial reality both here and in the US that distributors have to dealwith and consider in getting films onto the shop shelf. LGBT material islargely marginalised outside of rare hits like Brokeback Mountain."

“不幸的是，在这里和美国，这是分销商在把电影摆到商店货架上时会考虑且处理的商业现象。 同性恋、双性恋及变性恋者是像《断背山》一样被严重边缘化的素材。”

The DVDwas released by the US on 23December and is scheduled for release in the UK in March.

这个DVD在美国12月23日发行，在英国定于3月发行。

Pride wasnamed best film at theBritish Independent Film Awards last month.

WriterStephen Beresford joked at the awards: "It took 20 years to convinceanyone that a film about vegan lesbian activists was a sure-fire hit."

编剧斯蒂芬·贝雷斯福德(StephenBeresford)对这些奖项开玩笑说:“这部关于素食女同性恋积极分子的电影花了20年才获得肯定，确实是个不小的成功”

Thecritically-acclaimed film received standing ovations at both its world premiereat the Cannes Film Festival in May and at the Toronto International FilmFestival in September.

这部广受好评的电影在5月戛纳电影节的全球首映和9月多伦多国际电影节上获得了观众的起立欢呼。
