UAE bans Disney film over same-sex relationship
Newsrael News Desk 14.06.2022
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.
