The most recent issue of the Advocate has an interview with the movie's
scriptwriters, and it is fascinating to hear them relate some of the
stupidities they had to endure to get the script approved.  One example:

Grandmother to lawyer-grandson: "I liked your friend."

was scrapped, because this was an "affirmation of the 'gay lifestyle'."

They replaced it with:

"Why don't you have your friend come over my house.  He can fix my radio--
it hasn't worked since Jack Benny was on the air."
