Lebanon, Kuwait Poised to Ban ‘Barbie’ for Promoting Homosexuality

Lebanon, once thought of as among the most liberal parts of the Middle East, is poised to ban global hit movie “Barbie.” More conservative Kuwait said Wednesday that it had gone ahead with a ban due to its promotion of homosexuality.
It's disgusting that homosexuality is seen as such an abhorrent thing in this day and age. Are all humans not capable of love? If the answer is a resounding yes, then why are we stopping consenting adults from expressing this? Because of some archaic scripture from thousands of years ago? Excuse my French here, Lebanon, but kindly get to fuck.
This is exactly why the separation of church and state is supposed to exist in democracies. The zealots will continue to take away your rights until morale improves.
I'll just mention that in the middle east the vast majority of people don't support LGBT rights. Bringing up the separation of church and state makes no sense in this context.
So what? should you bring your "democracy" over there? It happens in Kuweit (8000km away) for a stupid american movie.
I am rather shocked by the amount of money this dump made, it gives quite an indication on the level of maturity of this f'd up society.
Yes I know, i'm uncool
Hmm, there was a country with the phrase: "In God we trust"
As a gay man, these are my thoughts every single day. Do I not deserve love? Is some old book really more important than what's happening now? I just don't get it.
It's not about the book, it's not even about sexuality. Yes these are the justifications they use, but at the core it's all about finding someone they can hurt, and they found you. The cruelty is the point.
Are you seriously whatabouting countries that regularly arrest and torture queer people for being queer?
Yes we also have to deal with religious fundamentalist. You realize that most of us are fighting them, right?
I think your number is a bit off.
