A Hong Kong Christian school has asked parents to prevent their children from watching Disney’s new film Beauty and the Beast over its gay scenes.

In a notice to parents on Thursday, International Christian Quality Music Secondary and Primary School in Diamond Hill said that Disney had made changes to the original children’s story by including gay scenes.

“The school has been teaching the children with the truths in the Bible to let them understand Gods’ purposes of creating mankind. God disapproves of homosexuality. Therefore we call on the parents not to bring them or let them watch the film,” the notice read.
