It built its reputation on princesses finding their prince, living happily ever after in storylines which set the benchmark for romance for generations of children. Now, Disney is to move firmly into a new era as it introduces its first “exclusively gay moment”, disclosing the new version of Beauty and the Beast will star a manservant exploring his sexuality.
The live-action version of Beauty and the Beast is already on course to be the most thoroughly modern film of its kind, with star Emma Watson discussing how she made the role of Belle more feminist. The team have now revealed one character, LeFou, will experience Disney’s first ever “gay moment” on screen, as he struggles with his feelings for ultra-macho leading man Gaston.
In an interview with Attitude magazine, director Bill Condon said: “LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston. “He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings. “And Josh [Gad, who plays LeFou] makes something really subtle and delicious out of it. “And that’s what has its pay-off at the end, which I don’t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie.”
In the original 1991 animated film, LeFou is introduced as the hapless sidekick of Gaston, the swaggering ladies’ man who hopes to woo Belle with a series of ill-judged seduction techniques. LeFou is best-known to fans of the film for singing “Gaston”, a pub ditty aimed at cheering up the spurned hero. With lines like “For there's no man in town half as manly / Perfect, a pure paragon”, some forward-thinking fans had speculated there may be more to their relationship.

This movie was a mistake from the second they cast Emma Watson. She is just not a believable Belle.
It also adds insult to the fact they “feministed” her character from the happy book loving romantic.
I suspect this stunt is out of desperation because the movie is already a turkey.
This just moves this into the wait for the free version. No way I am paying for homopropaganda.
once word gets out it’s flaming people will keep their kids away. I’ve already told a bunch of friends and families so Disney won’t be collecting those shekels
Seriously? I was actually hoping this movie would be a shining moment for Disney that they desperately need these days.
So much for THAT!
your childrens all belongs us.

Needs to start NOW.
Me too. What a disgusting company The Formerly Great Disney has become. Taken over by leftist perverts.
80,000+ new HIV infections a year, most of them young naive men and yet Disney wants to celebrate a sick, deadly lifestyle.
Thank you for getting the word out. I was actually somewhat looking forward to it -- it might have been one of the few movies I would go to the theater to see this year. Now? Certainly not in the theater, and maybe not at all.
...a manservant exploring his sexuality.
a shining moment for Disney that they desperately need these days.

It will be a showcase for their homosexual agenda. Everything Disney these days is GAY-GAY-GAY.
Their TV lineup on ABC, every show has at least one gay character, and on one there is a HS kid who is gay.
And they tell us Pizza-gate is just a conspiracy fantasy...........
Is Disney’s target audience 12 year old girls ?
No Disney in my house. Nope. And we just came back from Disneyland last month. Never again.
Apparently 12 year old boys.................
Belle as a feminist? no thank you.
Star Trek is already in trouble. The last movie didn't perform up to snuff. Maybe because they made a deal out of Sulu having a "husband".
Liberalism is driving audiences away. It's been a slow time coming, but it's happening.
I watched the Disney cartoon version several times (with my young daughters) - to me it was a really weird, stupid storyline. A girl is kidnapped and held against her will, yet she is supposed to fall in love with her kidnapper who is a different hairy species...hmmm, really creepy & stupid.
Walt Disney is about to spin himself through the freezer wall.
Disney made an animated movie about Patty Hearst??!?
The message never stops. The obligatory gay character now has made it into what was once of the more innocuous of children’s fairy tales. Not that just about EVERY sitcom and a good many action shows don’t already have at least one, and often several, active players of uncommon sexual orientation, and the cancer continues to spread. Those shows and films that do not have an explicitly gay backstory are often the best out there, but do not last a full season, if that long, before they are either pulled or vastly rewritten.
The modern version of scrawling dirty words on the back wall of the school house. Naughty for the sake of being naughty.
As long as “he” is a teacup or candlestick, I don’t care. :)

They are targeting the very vulnerable 6-11 year old group. I have grandkids, so I do care~a lot!
I am boycotting Disney anytime I can!
