Samsung pulls ad with drag queen after backlash

There is an image caption.

The ad featured a mother hugging her son, who is a drag queen.

The ad showing a Muslim mother supporting her drag queen son in Singapore was pulled after backlash from the Muslim community.

Several social media users said it was an attempt to push LGBT ideology.

The video may be perceived as offensive, according to a post on Facebook.

Even as local groups call for greater acceptance, Singapore remains largely conservative on LGBTQ issues.

The ad was supposed to promote the new products from the company.

It filmed several participants' reactions as they listened to their loved ones. A Muslim woman wearing a headscarf heard a message from her son, who was a drag performer, in one of the pairs of participants.

He told her that she was unbothered by people judging her differently because she had a son that did drag.

The scene sparked outrage online, with some saying it was disrespectful to the Muslim community, while others defended it and criticized its removal.

Syed Dan wrote on Facebook that they were against the ideology of mainstreaming homosexuality and transism into a conservative society. The Malay- Muslim community is disrupted by it.

The video had caused a lot of confusion and questions among the Muslim community.

The video was removed from all public platforms.

The company acknowledged in a post on Wednesday that they had fallen short.

Other social media users came out in support of the ad, questioning the controversy surrounding it.

Imagine being threatened by a mother's love for her child.

Others pointed out that the decision to pull the ad was contrary to the statement that innovation and growth are driven by diversity and inclusivity.

Mo Li Mi wrote on Facebook that if the advertisement does not run afoul of any laws, it should stick to its guns.

The drag queen reassured his followers that he and his mother were doing well.

He wouldn't discuss the comments that were made in that video. It was all about a mother's love in that video.

The caption is media.

Gay sex is still illegal in Singapore, but there is a new show about it.
