Disney recently released a new movie, ‘Lightyear’ that has been banned in many countries due to its same sex kissing scene. Most banned areas are Muslim countries, where its still unacceptable for members of the LBGTQ+ to be out of the closet

In these areas, censors decided that a kiss from a woman to her significant other was too sinful, thus banning the whole movie entirely. This course of action is of course due to general opinion. A good number of the people living in the countries where the movie is banned, believe that being part of the LBGTQ+ community is sinful. Many people have been thrown in prison and sometimes even get the death penalty for opening up about their sexuality.

The actors called the decision of the UAE disappointing. They say that while it’s amazing to be in something like this, there are “…still places that have not caught up.” The actors also revealed they fought for this moment to be added in this movie, and they would like more people to also be accepting of this part of the movie.
