UAE bans Disney film over same-sex relationship

Same-sex relationships are criminalized in the UAE, a Gulf country of about 10 million people.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Monday banned Walt Disney-Pixar's animated film "Lightyear" from screening in cinemas because it features characters in a same-sex relationship. 

The film would not be licensed for screening in the country as it violated the nation's media content standard, the Ministry of Youth and Culture's media regulatory office wrote on Twitter.

I wish our country would do the same. Kids do not need to be told this is okay.

Good on them, there is no need for this kind of trash in children's films, in any films in fact

I am with them on this issue. Bend not unto the Ways of the world. We are in the same days as Noah dealing with evil.
