Eva Longoria Lesbian Scenes Banned In Spain

Desperate Housewives actress Eva Longoria is under hot water by film distributor Maya Entertainment. In the actresses new movie Without Men she engages in lesbian scenes and Spain’s distributor has pulled those scenes from the movie.

Maya Entertainment sent a notice to a local festival director about the cut scenes and shortly afterwards the festival director cancelled the films showing.

Without Men follows the story of a Latin American village of women who attempt to rebuild their town after all of the towns men are recruited by communist guerrillas. The movie which also stars Christian Slater was released on DVD in June throughout the United States.

Speaking to the Associated Press Xavier Daniel, director of the Barcelona International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival said:

“We are very angry that a distributor can modify the content of a film. The audience will not understand the film, because all the lesbian scenes are cut out … It is unbelievable in the year 2011.”

At this time Maya Entertainment has not explained their homophobia based reasoning for cutting the scenes.

Do you find it ridiculous as Xavier states that a film company in 2011 is so homophobic that they would actually cut apart a movie because of lesbian scenes?
