The Walt Disney Co. won’t say gay in the Middle East.
After picking a political fight with Florida over the state’s Parental Rights in Education Law, and declaring itself an LGBTQ ally to boot, Disney is reportedly censoring gay and transgender content on the version of the Disney+ streaming service that it launched in the region in June.
Among the titles that won’t stream are the animated movie Lightyear, which features a lesbian kiss, and the Baymax series, which has a transgender “man” who menstruates
Disney cited “local regulatory requirements” in a statement to Esquire Middle East.
“Content offerings differ across our many Disney+ markets, based upon a number of factors. Content available should align with local regulatory requirements,” the studio said.
Disney+ Middle East recently launched in several predominantly Muslim countries — including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Qatar — where homosexuality is either illegal or considered taboo.
The UAE already banned Lightyear from showing in local cinemas.
This year, Disney CEO Bob Chapek declared the company will be a staunch ally of the LGBTQ community. He said Disney will continue to fight Florida’s Parental Rights in Education Law, which forbids the teaching of sexuality and gender ideology — including transgenderism — to children in kindergarten through third grade.

You can say gay in Florida. You can also say groomer in Florida. You can say gay on Twitter. However...
Fits the woke agenda of libeling/labeling MAGA conservatives as “American Taliban”.
Because the middle eastern countries have not succumbed to the rampant decadence that the USA is mired in. In those countries, they hang the LGBT crowd, or throw them off tall buildings.
I hope these producers of smut don’t realize that they will be the first ones whose necks will be slit when the “Middle Easterners” get in to power.
Chicken sh!ts. Heads tend to literally roll when that garbage gets pushed over there.
I wonder what the incidence rate of monkey buttpox is in the middle east
Didn't Disney pledge to fight the anti-groomer laws in Florida with every means at their disposal?
Demon Disney two-step...
Disney seems to realize they can’t get away with some of their crap in middle eastern countries,yet they don’t back off from trying it here where they are generally much more free. I’d say Disney management is treading a very thin line.
Because other countries with kill the alphabet people.
Hypocrites.
American people should take from the middle east mantra, WE WILL NOT TOLERATE and then enforce it
