Russia considering Beauty and the Beast ban over 'gay moment'

Russia is considering a ban of Disney’s forthcoming live-action remake of ‘Beauty and the Beast’ over its ‘gay moment’. Vladimir Medinsky, the country’s culture minister, has said that the film will be checked to see whether it is in breach of the country’s laws against so-called ‘gay propaganda’. According to the BBC, another Russian MP accused the film of being ‘shameless propaganda of sin’.
