America chavez lgbtq
Disney’s new Marvel film Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is causing some trouble in Saudi Arabia. The country banned the film because of what Saudi officials say is “barely 12 seconds” of America Chavez referencing her two moms. Disney was asked by Saudi officials to chop the moment from the film and the entertainment firm refused to act so. So far, the film has also been banned from Egypt, Kuwait, and Qatar.
Disney has become an unexpected target in the current fight for LGBTQ+ rights in the U.S. and around the nature. After taking a stand against Florida’s so-called “Don’t Declare Gay” bill, the company has been targeted by anti-LGBTQ+ activists and politicians seeking to execute harm to the company for siding with the Diverse community.
“It’s just her talking about her moms, because she has two moms,” Nawaf Alsabhan, Saudi Arabia’s general supervisor of cinema classification, said according to The Guardian. “And existence in the Middle East, it’s very tough to go by something like this.

Marvel executive Victoria Alonso has commented on Doctor Strange 2 character America Chavez's LGBTQ culture, confirming that the movie will be sticking to that detail from the comics.
