Idk. It's not the size. It's how you use it.

Lebanon is supposed to be pretty progressive too I've read. Geez it's just a movie.

Sadly from what I recall Hezbollah has been gaining a lot of traction since the Israeli invasion of 2006, so fundamentalists set up shop.

I watched the movie, I don't remember anything that was promoting homosexuality. Can someone point out?

I also thought the all Male nude musical number "choose to be gay" was a little much.
