[quote]But this year’s selection drew a backlash from a small but vocal group, some of whom denounced the film as “neo-feminist propaganda” and accused it of “promoting LGBT stories”.

Literally just two gays flash on the screen for a couple of seconds, and that's already too much for them.

Who on Earth could this "small but vocal group" be? I haven't the foggiest idea!

I’m not a progressive, so I’m good.

R2, the group that shall be named because it does not for the narrative of oppression and colonialism.

Also the"small group" that has banned the movie in most countries where they are the majority.

Oh god, r6 is the poster who writes "great link + insult" under every new post. Good fucking riddance.

r7 "And I block everyone old fucker"

Thanks for announcing! This is so very upsetting to me. I'll go rethink things now.

I'm a Leftist, have known hundreds of nice, respectful and open-minded Muslims, and this doesn't make me feel any different than if I hadn't read this.. Muslims who exercise political influence to weaken the secular elements of the state and broaden religious "freedom" in ANY country are horrible people who I would support forcibly ejecting from their new home countries.

THAT SAID---the West's Cold War allegiances are why the influence of Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood ended up dominating (and continue to dominate) much of the Muslim world.

So, it's warranted to want them gone, but: 1) not all Muslim immigrants are like this, and 2) don't doubt that the fucked up religious-political society that is radicalizing and helping organize them abroad has probably been funded by the US in for 30-40 years in the home country.

France has the same Muslim problem as well as anti-Semite problem as many other countries, but often seems so holier than thou about the rest of us.
