    “Barbie” contains no overt sexuality or references to LGBTQ+ rights. But it seems to have drawn fire because of its sheer flamboyance and broad message of inclusion and gender equality in a region where homosexuality is widely seen as taboo.

      There’s that one scene where two homosexuals are not immediately flogged to death, so that’s probably where the problem is.
