did you know the first Best Picture Oscar (pre- #HaysCode, of course) went to a film with an M/M kiss (and a lesbian couple in another scene's famous tracking shot)? #FilmHistory #LGBTQIA #QueerHistory
The historic kiss in the first Oscar Winner 💋🎞️ #filmhistory #oldhollywood #1920s #lgbthistory

I've been watching a bunch of pre-code era movies (before 1934) and it is WILD how much has been censored and sanitized. Like, there are movies in the 20s/30s about gay people, poly relationships, trans people...just a bunch of stuff we've been brainwashed to think are modern inventions. #hayscode

The Hays Code from 1934 to 1968 had a rule against showing clergy as criminals in movies. Beyond ridiculous. Countless clergy commit crimes and always have. 🙄🎬 #HaysCode

She Was More Than the Next Marilyn Monroe
Jayne Mansfield’s life might seem like a tragedy—but it wasn’t, a new documentary argues.

🕵️‍♂️ Ever notice how classic film noir flicks feel… incomplete?

Blame the Hays Code. It forced writers to twist endings, soften characters, and kill off subtext.

The shadows didn’t just hide villains—they hid the truth.

The new #HaysCode. Let's make #Rule5.12.7 infamous 😁
Rule 5.12.7 states, “A Merchant must not submit to its Acquirer, and a Customer must not submit to the Interchange System, any Transaction that is illegal, or in the sole discretion of the Corporation, may damage the goodwill of the Corporation or reflect negatively on the Marks.” It goes on, “The sale of a product or service, including an image, which is patently offensive and lacks serious artistic value (such as, by way of example and not limitation, images of nonconsensual sexual behavior, sexual exploitation of a minor, nonconsensual mutilation of a person or body part, and bestiality), or any other material that the Corporation deems unacceptable to sell in connection with a Mark.” Violations of rule 5.12.7 can result in fines, audits, or companies being dropped by the payment processors.
