Rami Malek's Acceptance Speech Censored in China; Words “Gay Man" Replaced With “Special Person"

February 27, 2019 Jordan Ruimy

Chinese streaming site Mango TV cut OFF the phrase "gay man" from Rami Malek’s Oscar speech.

Malek was trying to honor young people struggling with their identity when he said “listen, we made a film about a gay man, an immigrant, who lived his life unapologetically himself,” but chinese censors replaced “gay man” with “special group.”

Screen grabs of the moment went viral on Chinese social media.

China is known to ban or censor gay-themed content in apprehensive ways.
