Ukraine may ban Bruno
#1
[img2=left]http://www.gayspeak.com/forum/images/news/brunoholdingoj.jpg[/img2]Ukraine is planning to ban the film Bruno because is likely to offend conservative and religious opionion, reports suggest.

The film, about a gay Austrian journalist, features full-frontal nudity and sexual acts, although another version has been edited down in order to win a 15-certificate. It will become the first film in Britain to show two versions concurrently.

According to Ukraine reports, the country's culture and tourism ministry will prevent it from going on general release next week.

The ministry has not yet explained the decision, but it is thought that the subject of the film will cause offence.

A Ukrainian diplomat told The Guardian: "Ukrainian society is a conservative one. The topic is not discussed, but in reality public attitudes are exactly the same as in Russia.

"The west of Ukraine, especially, is very conservative on family issues. They are devoted Catholics, and Greek Catholics."

Since 1991 Ukraine, formerly part of the Soviet Union, has had an equal age of consent and homosexuality was decriminalised at that time.

However, there are no specific protections for LGBT minorities, and the deeply socially conservative country is generally dominated by the Orthodox church.

MPs from the governing party have said that the "propaganda and expansion of homosexuality in the country form a threat to national security, contradict national interests and undermine the authority of rights and freedoms of human being and family."

The Ukranian parliament's Committee on the Issues of Freedom of Speech has also attacked the "increasing propaganda" about gay and lesbian issues.
Note: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this contaminant free message. However, I do concede, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.

Propaganda, WHAT propaganda? And why do they think speaking out is propaganda....

How is talking about homosexuality a national threat to national security... why? How does it contradict national interests (what national interests anyway???)? How does it undermine the authority of right and freedoms of human being and family???? If THAT is not propaganda, what is? :mad:

In other words that Committee on the Issues of Freedom of Speech DON'T WANT freedom of Speech. :frown:

Just as Orwell wrote decades ago when he wrote about Minitrue, Miniluv, Minipax and Miniplenty - to think I once thought 1984 was a work of fiction! :frown:
