The Sundance Film Festival will go on as planned.

Despite calls for a boycott of the Utah-based festival (in response to the Mormon Church's role in the passage of Proposition 8 in California), the movement doesn't appear to be getting any significant support.

"I can say this, 'We're not staying away from Sundance,' " says Ellen Huang, founder of Queer Lounge, the six-year-old networking and event space that has become the prime gathering spot for gay and lesbian festivalgoers. "I think it would do more harm than good in boycotting an institution that has been so critical in helping create tolerance and acceptance."

Huang says Queer Lounge attracted about 6,000 people last year.

And the problem of the Holiday Village theater seems to have been resolved. Read on to find out how.

The four-screen venue is one of the few theaters in Park City; it's operated by Cinemark, a nationwide chain whose CEO Alan Stock donated nearly $10,000 to backers of Prop 8, which outlaws same-sex marriages.

And now, those who would rather not patronize Cinemark won't have to. Geoffrey Gilmore, director of the festival, told the New York Times that folks will have the option to avoid the Holiday Village because every flick screened there will also be shown at an alternate venue.

As I was the first to report when the boycott idea was first raised, a rep for the festival said Holiday Village would definitely be used because they have no other options.

Robin Tyler—who with her partner, Diane Olsen, had the first same-sex-couple marriage performed in Los Angeles County when the original ban was lifted by the State Supreme Court this Spring—thinks attacking Sundance is the wrong way to go.

"You can make it a big brouhaha and get press about boycotting Sundance, but if we're going to hurt an industry that has been very good to us then we shouldn't," Tyler said. "I don't like to do anything that hurts our own."

Tyler and Olsen were also the first plaintiffs named in the lawsuit that overturned the ban.

Tyler said she'd like to see energy and money now go towards organizing a gay-rights march on Washington.
