The Ministry of Culture in Lebanon may decide to ban the film “Barbie” after it accused the film of “promoting homosexuality” on Wednesday. Lebanon, normally perceived as relatively open and free in the Middle East, has seen its ruling elites gather around hardcore conservative values.

        Ok that scene could have had some gay people in it. Didn’t really register when watching but that scene makes the most sense.

    Where was the homosexuality in that movie? Was there a gay couple for a couple of seconds when they first arrived in the real world?

    I’d guess they are just having a problem with the ideas about patriarchy that it puts out there and banning it for homosexuality is just something that’s easy to do?

    does the Lebanese government think seeing all that pink (omg, so much pink in that movie) is going to make people gay? lmao

    really, though, that movie was so pink, it cured my heartburn

          Didn’t you see my organic movie promotion campaign here before the strike? Pretty great right?

          Also, that’s Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Robbie (also, Android enthusiast) to you!

    Some super self loathing gays in Lebanon apparently. I guarantee the politicians pushing the anti gay shit the hardest are getting fucked by rent boys and snorting lines off cocks and stuff. Hypocrites.

    They’re just pissed that their country name keeps getting autocorrected in search engines to the much-more-commonly-sought term “Lesbian”.
