Quote
References to a gay relationship were edited out of “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore” by Warner Bros. for the film’s release in China.


So "don't say gay" if it affects your profit margin.

Don't say gay because your Chinese masters tell you not to.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
