Governor Ron DeSantis Used Peaky Blinders Character for Homophobic Video Narrative
Governor of Florida since 2019, Ron DeSantis published homophobic video, with excerpts from the series peaky blindersduring the presidential campaign for elections scheduled for 2024. Now, the production of the series has spoken out on social networks and denounced the politician.
The video in question has a homophobic narrative with images of characters considered “macho,” such as Thomas Shelby (peaky blinders) It is Jordan Belfort (the wolf of Wall Street). In addition, several headlines appear on screen to counter the moral panic (“Florida’s anti-LGBT laws are unwarranted and un-American”) about the controversial views of DeSantiswhich include a transphobic agenda.
On social media, those responsible for the Netflix series detonated Ron DeSantis’ video. “On behalf of the partners of peaky blinders – Steven Knight, Cillian Murphy, Caryn Mandabach Productions, Tiger Aspect Productions It is Banijay Rights – we confirm that footage of the character from Tommy Shelby used in the video posted by the Ron DeSantis was obtained without permission or official license,” they stated.
We do not support or endorse the video’s storytelling and strongly disapprove of the use of the content in this manner.
