Uganda bans Dutch film for ‘glorifying homosexuality’
Uganda’s censorship board has banned a Dutch film, The Dinner Club, after accusing it of “glorifying homosexuality” the Embassy of The Netherlands in Kampala has said.
Gay sex is illegal in Uganda.
The embassy said in a Facebook post that it “deplored” the decision to ban the film.
It then published the full list of objections from the media council which also include using “lurid language”, and “smoking especially by women”.
The Uganda Media Council described the film as women forming a “Dinner Club which is in reality a sort of brothel”, and said the film included scenes of “gay men sauntering away drunk”.
It said “while glorifying homosexuality two women say marriage (presumably to men) is hard work! This is against Ugandan values.”
The council also objected to one man calling another a “hot chick”.
