“A version of this did happen. It has been a nightmare. If I haven’t been in touch or returned your call– this is why. And PLEASE — if you are tempted to finger wag or admonish us that “that’s what you get for casting a straight actor” –DON’T. This was HIS project that he brought to US– and Killer’s* record on working with LGBTQ actors/crew/directors speaks for itself. (and for those of you who HAVE– know that you are making a terrible situation even worse)”.

– Statement from Christine Vachon of Killer Films, an independent film production company that has produced all of Haynes' movies.
