Kuwait censors pull Disney’s Beauty and the Beast for edits

KUWAIT CITY  - Beauty and the Beast was pulled from cinemas in Kuwait on Monday after censors raised concerns over the content of the new film, which includes what has been called the first “gay moment” for a Disney character. In the West, there are many millions of parents who also would like to see this movie dumped. But living in a culture that promotes same-sex sin, parents are now refusing to attend, let alone expose their children to Disney's Homosexual agenda.

The film, had been showing in the predominantly Muslim country of Kuwait since Thursday. But those who’d purchased tickets to see the movie Monday received text messages from Kuwait’s National Cinema Company informing them that screenings were cancelled due to “unforeseen difficulties.” The company also promised ticket buyers a full refund.

Duaij Al-Khalifa Al-Sabah, a board member at the National Cinema Company, which operates 11 of Kuwait’s 13 movie theaters, told The Associated Press a newly edited version of the movie may be in theaters later this week.

He said concerns center on a scene late in the movie involving the character LeFou, which director Bill Condon describes as an “exclusively gay moment.”

“We were requested to stop the screening and further censor the movie for things that were deemed offensive by the Ministry of Information’s censorship department,” Al-Sabah said. In some predominantly Muslim countries, homosexual relations can lead to lashings, imprisonment and fines. In a few, it carries the death penalty. The west is blind to same sex sin.
