The reason was that one of the film’s ma characters, Ameri Chavez, is a gay character, and has two moms. Due to the fact that homosexualy is illegal parts of the Middle East, ’s not all that surprisg that movi have been banned, or cuts have been requted. It’s not nfirmed, but there is an openly gay character the film, Phastos, played by Brian Tyree Henry, so ’s likely that was one reason was not shown.
Even Sdi Arabia, where homosexualy is illegal, will show the forehead kiss. Recent blockbters such as “Thor: Love and Thunr, ” “Doctor Strange the Multiverse of Madns” and “Wt Si Story” reportedly didn’t make to Sdi theaters bee of same-genr kiss and gay or transgenr characters.
Over the last year, major tl cludg Pixar’s Lightyear; Marvel’s Thor: Love and Thunr, Doctor Strange the Multiverse of Madns and Eternals; and Disney’s Wt Si Story were all stopped by censors om htg cemas over same-genr kiss and gay or transgenr characters. Until then, Bety and the Beast (2017) director Bill Condon ma ments that l the ter on fire wh the announcement that LeFou (Josh Gad) would be the subject of an "exclively gay scene".
