[a fool in paradise]

with Gaston emphatically agreeing it is. This is practically a Bugs Bunny gag. The second, which literally lasts only a second, is at the very end, amid a dancing crowd where many couples are reunited, LeFou - having finally gotten it thru his thick skull that the radiantly heterosexual (have I made that point enough yet?) Gaston is never going to fall for him

How is this even acceptable in a movie?

Forget the faggotry, change up the sexes and make LeFou's object of affection be some unattainable/disinterested woman.

They'd say it is offensive and presumptive that he should even impose himself on "her", let alone persist in such flirting after repeated rejection of advances.

And no complaining about being in the friendzone, just be happy that you are a friend and quit imposing your sexual desires on the relationship.

Am I right?

You’ve seen it in many movies.

Heck, it was a staple of Looney Tunes.

You do realize the major sub plot of Beauty and the Beast is Gastons pursuit of the unattainable disinterested Belle, right?
