Melech 9,900 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 "Disney Channel has pulled one of its biggest children’s shows from air after outrage at a gay storyline. In the second season of Andi Mack, 13-year-old character Cyrus develops feelings for a fellow teenage boy, Jonah. In scenes aired last week Cyrus came out to one of his best friends as gay, with his friend telling him with a smile: “You’re no different.” The same-sex story has caused outrage among anti-gay activists and was last week banned from air in Kenya. Now Disney Channel has caved into pressure from homophobes – pulling the show from air in as many as 50 countries across Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. Disney will no longer air the show DStv, the network that broadcasts the channel in 50 countries, including Kenya, Ghana, Angola, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Mauritius and Tanzania as well as parts of the Middle East. In a statement Disney said: “Disney Channel creates stories that entertain and inspire kids and families and reflect the rich diversity of the human experience. “While our shows are developed for global audiences we are committed to respecting each market’s cultural sensibilities, compliance rules and regulations. “Disney Channel in South Africa serves multiple countries across Africa and the Middle East, each with its own regulations to which we adhere. “Accordingly, Andi Mack will not be broadcast through DStv. “However, we are exploring alternative ways to make the series available to its fans in South Africa.”" http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2017/11/08/disney-channel-axes-childrens-show-andi-mack-across-africa-and-middle-east-due-to-gay-storyline/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GagaSkeletonWay 2,086 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It's so sad to see stuff like this is still happening. I mean, of course there's homophobic people in my country and it's still a big problem, but not to that extent. When I see things like this all I can think of is the gay people there, how repressed they are... One day, keep fighting! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
