Barbie: Lebanon looks to ban the film for promoting “homosexuality and sexual transformation”
Lebanon has announced a potential ban on Barbie due to the film “promoting homosexuality.” On 21 July, movie enthusiasts in the UK were finally treated to the highly anticipated fantasy comedy.
Directed by Greta Gerwig, the film follows a “stereotypical” Barbie (Margot Robbie )who resides in Barbieland, a matriarchal society where women are self-sufficient and occupy all positions of power.
After Barbie begins to worry about her mortality, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery into the real world – assisted by her “stereotypical” himbo boyfriend Ken (Ryan Gosling).
Since its release, Barbie has received universal acclaim from viewers and critics for its inclusive and diverse cast, empowering feminist message and Robbie’s performance as the titular character.
