Malaysia have 'postponed' the release of the movie...

If I were Disney I would pull back the film from Malaysia and Russia. These countries don't deserve the film and have no business watching it, they don't live in the same world as we do, and their mindset is not human.

Other producers should follow.

There are gay elements in every movie.

I am not understanding why there had to be any gay elements in the film at all. The original story had none so why do it now? What was the purpose? It isn't moving the story forward and it wasn't needed. 

I'm not saying the backlash is justified but the folks at Disney must be incredibly naive to think that there wouldn't be any.

Honestly, if this was never mentioned AT ALL, this wouldn't even be an issue. And apparently the scene in question is literally so small, so short, and so subtle that it's easily missed, especially if you blink. This was a mountain made of a mole hill, and THAT is what irritates me more than anything else. Of course how it was announced didn't help. It was acting as if audiences were in for gay porn or something. Of course the super conservative realm went crazy for something they didn't even have a chance to discern for themselves...they just heard the term "gay" and went nuts.
