BANGKOK — Walt Disney Studios has refused to cut a brief, gay-themed scene from “Beauty and the Beast” as demanded by government censors in Malaysia, meaning the film will not open there Thursday as scheduled.
The Film Censorship Board of Malaysia recently ruled that a shot involving two male characters dancing in a ballroom must be cut from the movie, on the grounds that it promotes homosexuality. The sequence is said to be three seconds long.
“The film has not been and will not be cut for Malaysia,” Disney said in a statement Tuesday without elaborating.
The film’s director, Bill Condon, has called the scene in question — involving a character named LeFou, manservant to the villain, Gaston — an “exclusively gay moment.” The film, starring Emma Watson and Dan Stevens and costing $300 million to make and market, is a live-action remake of Disney’s 1991 animated blockbuster of the same name.
Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid, chairman of the censorship board, argued Wednesday that Malaysia was not preventing the movie from being screened. “It is in our guidelines that we don’t allow L.G.B.T. activity in movies in Malaysia,” he said in an interview. “They are the ones not allowing the movie to be shown. We approved it with a minor cut.”
He said the movie would have been shown with a PG-13 rating had Disney agreed to cut the scene.
Malaysia is a majority-Muslim country, and sodomy is illegal there, although the law is seldom enforced. The capital, Kuala Lumpur, has a thriving gay community.

Face it. Disney is a big fan of sexual deviancy. Parents should keep their kids away from that crap.
“I am somewhat surprised that Disney decided that gay diversity wins over Muslim diversity.”
Because Malaysians are terrorist antiAmerican psychos. Liberals aren’t scared of them (and secretly admiring) and can bully them.
Snips:
One of the movies nominated for an Oscar, The Wolf of Wall Street, contained more than 500 utterances of a word that begins with the letter F.
Instead of wholesome family values, today’s secular offerings smack of smut, including network television series openly promoting homosexuality and polygamy.
They’ll probably wind up selling rights to the flick to public school systems.
Every day I hear about this stupid cartoon.
Is there even a Belle in it? A magical beast? Because in the media it sounds like it’s a two hour long cartoon of gay candlestick sex scenes.
What does that mean? I'm trying to think of what a "thriving hetrosexual community" looks like, and I'm coming up blank.
I hope it tanks. I hope it wrecks the career of the insufferable Emma Watson.
You vill accept ze sodomy! Accept it!!
“continue to flock to the Disney parks.”
Wonder if Disney will introduce gay stuff into the parks’ enterntainment things.
Why should tolerance include pushing an inappropriate agenda on elementary school aged children who shouldn’t have to be burdened with this subject matter at a young age. Can’t we just let them have an innocent childhood?
Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave...
this company should change the name from Disney to Decadent...
May Disney’s movie crap out.
We were going to go see it, and then this blatant in your face garbage was hyped in the media.
Now, they’ve lost our dollars.
Enjoy.
Yaelle FRiend, I get no end of LOLing at your references to gay candlestick sex.
I even mentioned it to my wife yesterday, in the context of We Will Not Be Seeing This Movie..
I spent some formative years living near San Francisco. I have seen gay candlestick sex up close.
It’s nowhere near as fun and glamorous as some folks portray it!
There is another movie out right now that seems to be much more confusing called "The Shack". From the trailers I watched, I perceived that God is a black female. And in another scene, she shows her wounds and tells the man that she never left Jesus on the cross. Of course the Bible says Jesus cried out "Father,( or mother whatever the case may be), why have You forsaken me?" I've been reading reviews by people I trust to know the Truth and it is universally panned as a movie. The problem is the pew sitters are flocking to the movie with rave reviews. If you don't know your Scriptures, you should not see the movie, IMO. The author doesn't believe in Hell and has no problem with gay marriage, so you know where he is coming from from the start. Just knowing that he chose to make God a black woman says a lot without knowing anything else. Of course if God can be a burning bush or speak through a donkey, I suppose He could be a black woman.
The problems arise when reasonably solid Christians fall for an emotional story instead of looking to Scripture for guidance. Many in my church went to see this and came back recommending it to everybody. I hate to be too critical without having seen the movie, but I just smell heresy. Paying to see movies is basically giving money to people that support Satanic ideas and give money that want to persecute the church. Anyone that saw "Noah" knows that things went waaaay south when "rock people" helped to build the Ark. Then we found that there were survivors in the flood waters that entered the Ark. What a weak Christian would receive from that was since Noah's Flood was a myth fairy tale anyway, I guess the movie can say whatever it wants. What would have been so hard to just take the story from Scripture and put it up on screen? Why make God a woman? Why was "The Last Temptation of Christ" made to show Jesus having relations with Mary Magdalene? It's because the people making the movies are NOT Christians. Not even pretend Christians. We saw the effect Christians could have on the industry when "The Passion of Christ" was released, almost single handily. All a writer has to do is take a Bible story and tell it verbatim on the screen to have a winner. But we see having a money maker is not all they are after. They are more than willing to lose money to get their idea into the church.
We have known that Disney has gone to the dark side for decades since Walt died, yet we still support them.
We are called to be a holy people, set aside for God. Being holy doesn't mean good, necessarily, but it does require us to be separated from the world and dedicated to God. We are called "a peculiar people", "aliens", and this is not our home. This should be talked about from the pulpit if a Shepard cares for his flock. These idea's come from somewhere and infiltrate the flock to our detriment. Life is full of choices and having to decide whether or not you take your child to watch sodomites kissing should NOT be one of them. "Curiosity killed the cat" takes on a whole new meaning when your child grows up and decides to "come out" because they have been spoon fed a lie in the culture and in school. Our eyes and ears are called "spiritual windows" in Scripture and what goes into them is hard to get out, once in. I can't tell you how many Christian parents give excuses about letting their children watch stuff they shouldn't, saying "we teach them different". Once in, those images cannot be removed and forgotten, especially when schools and culture tell them mom and dad are morons and God is a myth.
I'm sure "license" was taken in "The Ten Commandments" with Heston, or "The Passion", but it is far from telling us sodomy is good and God is a woman or a child, as He was portrayed in the latest "Exodus". Hollywood has already vowed to put homosexuals and homosexuals scenes in every movie, TV show, and even commercials from now on. Drowning us in sodomy won't make it right, just annoying. I predict in the future, Christians will be forced to binge watch reruns of I Love Lucy or Mr Ed, and anything made prior to 1980. I even know pastors today that don't even have a TV in their house. When I have a DVD for them to watch, I have to bring equipment to them or invite them to my house to even watch it. I used to think that was fairly radical, but today, I'm not so sure.
BINGO!
Homosexuality is just an excuse for these knuckleheads. They’d find some other pretext to harm us if not for homosexuality.
Of course, if you were being sarcastic, carry on.
Yes, I was being sarcastic, or perhaps more ironic. The Left loves to blame terrorism on Trumps border protections or "budget cuts," or whatever - but Disney's promotion of perversity globally is MUCH more visible to Muslims in the 3rd world than anything else.
It looks fabulous, don't you know?/sarc
There wouldn’t have been a need to censor the content if they had not bragged about the content. That same scene was in the animated version and there was no flack.
No, since they want to warp little children and make their sodomite behaviors “normalized” with little boys since the behavior is learned and habituated by “culture” as the Afghanis with their boy harems prove. All homosexual cultures need to groom the boys like they did with 7 year olds in Sparta. NAMBLA’s motto: If not by eight is is too late.
Actually, you can turn a boy as old as Milo was when raped, if it is their “first” sexual experience which embeds strong emotions for life. All homosexuals were raped when young or emasculated and neglected by their father. Sodomy is NEVER an act of “Love”. It is always a filthy, meaningless, dysfunctional act done for lust, domination and control and to “connect” with the male figure that never existed in their childhood. It is not by accident that all sodomites look for abused/neglected children (like at 2nd Mile or Boys Town to run their homosexual boy-sex rings like the CIA run one at the White House (Franklin Cover-Up). Those sodomites don’t “love” the boys——and the so-called “priest” that molested Milo didn’t “love’ him. They are demonic-—like the act.
Homosexual males usually rape on average 140 boys in their lifetimes. It is why sane nations made homosexuality a felony. It is stupid to think homosexuals “Love” each other. They use each other and themselves in filthy ways only. They have a demonic worldview and the eye that alters, alters all (Blake).
