On the other hand....
EXCERPT:
Beauty and the Beast has been pulled from Kuwaiti cinemas amid concerns from censors.
The live-action remake of the classic animation makes LeFou, villain Gaston’s sidekick, the first openly gay character in a Disney film.
A board member at the National Cinema Company, which operates most of Kuwait’s cinemas, said an edited version might be screened later this week.
Disney is yet to comment on the move.
Beauty and the Beast, starring Emma Watson as Belle and Dan Stevens as the Beast, has taken more than $350m (£282m) around the world and opened in Kuwait on Thursday, rated PG-13.

Has anybody actually seen this movie? I had no desire to even before the gay thing (not my type of movie). However my sister-in-law saw in Friday and said that the “gay angle” was really overblown and that most viewers would have probably interpreted the gay character LeFou mooning over Gaston as nothing more than over-the-top hero worship, if it wasn’t for them specifically coming out and telling everybody he was meant to have a gay crush. Sort of like the Dumbledore/Harry Potter thing, nobody would have even thought Dumbledore was gay if J.K Rowling had come out and said he was.

In the world I grew up in he would have been taken out behind the bar and had an attitude adjustment.

Wonder if LeFou has the temperment to become one of THE FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS(1967) and take out the "Sissy Vampire" one on the left.
"Someone's little heart is going pitter pat, pitter pat."
Maybe he could "blow away" Joe Cairo in THE MALTESE FALCON. Joe likes his cane.
Or become a great Indian Fighter like LITTLE BIG MAN.
NO! He has to show up in a movie for kids as a fag. But then it gives new meaning to the term, "FAIRY Tale". Or is that "Tail".

If LeFou had a choice, Gaston or this pretty sweet thing...
