The Malaysian censors board have reportedly cut out a 'gay moment' in the
Disney film 'Beauty and the Beast' before agreeing to its release in the
Muslim-majority nation. The movie contains Disney's 'first exclusively gay moment'.
In
an interview with The Star newspaper, Malaysian Censorship Board (LPF)
chairman Abdul Halim Abdul Hamid stated that the film 'has been
approved with a minor cut'.
The cut focussed on
a 'gay moment' in the film, said Abdul Halim, adding that it had been
rated PG-13, which indicates that some material may be inappropriate for
pre-teens.
The cuts come after the movie ran
into trouble in Russia, which slapped an adults-only rating on the film
last week following pressure by an ultra-conservative lawmaker who was
pushing for a ban.
