Stonewall cast and vets defend the director against critics - Daily Mail

Roland Emmerich (right) is addressing the massive backlash he has been receiving from members of the LGBT community and critics following the release of his new film Stonewall. The biggest complaint among both critics and advocates is that Emmerich whitewashed the film, choosing a young, white, gay man as his protagonist (top left) and not featuring enough non-white or transgender characters. Furthermore, the character at the center of the historical film (bottom left) - Danny - is fictional, and not based on an actual person. 'You have to understand one thing,' said Emmerich in a recent interview. 'I didn’t make this movie only for gay people, I made it also for straight people.'
