‘Lighter’ premiere banned in some countries due to homophobia

When homophobia is part of state policy, the least that can happen is that cultural works that show homosexuality in a way that is compatible with knowledge of sexology and, of course, with unforgivable respect for human rights, are censored across the country. Thus, we should be surprised that Saudi Arabiawhere Islamic law prevails, categorically refuses to allow the film to be shown in their cinemas. Light year (2022), new Pixar.

The reason is a simple kiss between two characters of the same gender that they are a couple, which has little to do with the adventure and science fiction plot at the behest of Angus MacLaine, and is included as a normality detail. But the saddest part is that it’s raining. And not because the Saudis and the company have already prevented the release of other feature films, from Eternal or West Side Story (2021) to Doctor Strange in the multiverse of madness (2022) for the same reasons.

During the controversy surrounding Florida’s homophobic “Don’t Call Yourself Gay” law, which is designed to prevent teachers from teaching about sexual orientation to children in preschool through third grade, protests against Walt Disney Company and Pixar itself for eliminating from light year exactly the same kiss for which they are now banned in Saudi Arabia, and what they were forced to restore in their cadres.

Lightyear is the fourth Disney film to be banned in the Persian Gulf due to homophobia in two years.
