And now back to our regularly scheduled cultural suicide.
According to The Telegraph, Disney’s new live action Beauty and the Beast “will star a manservant exploring his sexuality.” Super.
Apparently, Emma Watson’s Beauty has gotten a feminist makeover, and the character of Le Fou has the hots for his boss Gaston.
The Telegraph cites an interview director Bill Condon did with the gay magazine Attitude. “LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,” he said. “And Josh [Gad, who plays LeFou] makes something really subtle and delicious out of it.”
We’ll take his word for it on “delicious,” but judging by the over-the-top campiness of the accompanying clip, subtle it ain’t. If straight people had dreamed up Gad’s mincing musical number, they’d be called bigots – and that’s not even the “gay moment” Condon promises at the end of the movie.
It sounds like the whole story has been recast according to liberal identity politics. Dan Stevens, who plays Beast, said as much:
It’s about that sense of persecution. Belle is seen as a bit of a freak within her community, this girl who reads and invents things and is a bit too clever for the local Establishment. And Beast is obviously persecuted because of his appearance.
So why not toss in the gays? Attitude Editor-in-Chief Matt Cain “applaud[ed] Disney for being brave enough” to make what his magazine called the studio’s “gayest film ever,” though it’s uncertain what’s courageous about finally bowing to the most fashionable grievance group there is. As The Telegraph said, the movie “comes after years of pressure from some fans, who have petitioned for more representation of the LGBTQ community on screen.”
These people are effing idiots. I have three kids, all into Disney crap and I’ve spent a small fortune there. If they think offending people like me with their homoerotic movie targeted at little girls is a sustainable business model then they need to think again. Let the fags pay to see their movie. My friends and I WILL NOT be taking our children to see this propaganda piece.
This means the Fag Freepers Army will watch the movie.
For being brave enough? It seems more like the bravest thing you can do is support traditional marriage, because all the leftists will attack you for it. There’s nothing braver than being politically incorrect by acknowledging the truth and moral absoluteness.
Disney has been promoting faggotry for years. Starve the Mouse.
Glad they gave advance notice to everyone out there who will be very careful to give this one a pass.
Disney’s most recent foray was something far less controversial, The Princess and the Frog, that made $104m domestic out of a $105m budget. They felt compelled to make a “black” film, for some reason. Okay, fine, black kids need a heroine, too.
Seriously, after the double whammy of John Carter (-$200m) and The Lone Ranger (almost as much), you would think that more sensible heads would prevail when they wanted to make a “statement” movie out of a profitable franchise.
OMG, they’re such unhinged morons! If Middle America abandons the Disney franchise, it will be a quick trip down the drain for them.
all they need to do is break even domestically, because international, redbox and tv revenues will take it to the black..
What is it now, $100 for one adult to walk through the gates at Disney World? Screw ‘em!!!!
With all those bombs coming out of Disney studios, why does the board and CEO still have jobs?...............
What high fructose corn syrup is to nutrition, Disney is to culture and learning.
get rid of anything Disney, at least post 1980. There is so much more worthwhile stuff out there for kids - but you have to look and analyze.
Disney marketing is no different from Coca Cola, its literally everywhere, so its often the default product people buy. don’t be a sheep.
I guess Disney has decided losing money is a good thing
Friends of Armstrong and Getty? I doubt it
Brave?
How is it ‘brave’ to do something the fawning Hollywood libtards will love?
You can take any piece of crap movie, add a gay character, for added bonus show an evil republican, and Hollywood will love you.
It would be BRAVE for them to make a movie where they pi$$ on a certain demonic book
