Universal Brasil did not at first disclose any other information about the case, which is considered by many to be an act of censorship of the government. The author of the book worried about Twitter by sharing a tweet that indicated that Brazilian activists denounce censorship. See below:

– Garrard Conley (@gayrodcon) 2 February 2019 [19659009] "Boy Erased was censored in Brazil, I had the feeling that it was going to happen and it's sad that this kind of thing is happening in such a wonderful country. "
" We receive information that the beginning of January of "Boy Erased" has been canceled in Brazil Local activists denounce the censorship of the Brazilian government More information to come soon "
Mathew Shurka, co-founder of the group Born Perfect that aims to end conversion therapies, was at the origin of the emergence of disorders in the alleged act on the networks social. "
" My beloved Brazilians, "he said," I do not know what to do. "
" " also shared a message against the Brazilian government, Boy Erased" was banned from Brazil.Your President censors the LGBT + content.Banning a movie about the dangers of the Conversion therapy is DANGEROUS! Bolsonaro is a threat to the lives of LGBT + people. I love Brazil and I will fight with you! "
However, responding to the B9 group's opinion Universal Brasil confirmed that the decision was purely commercial, anticipating the small window that the film would have in the country. The film debuted in the United States on November 2 and brought in nearly $ 7 million to the country, a little over a million dollars abroad, according to BoxOfficeMojo . In addition, the feature film did not attract much attention during the awards season, which reduced the audience of the film. Finally, according to the opinion, the costs of marketing the film would not be covered by the box office it would have in Brazil, as was the case with "Welcome to Marwen" with Steve Carell. The plot tells how a boy, son of a conservative pastor, was forced to undergo therapy to "heal" his homobaduality, not to lose his friends, his family and the God for whom he prayed every day of his life . In confronting the past, he reflects on the complex relationships between family and faith, the difficulty of growing up as a homobadual in a conservative community, and the difficulties of trying to suppress that badual identity.
