The highly-anticipated live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast will reportedly feature a gay character and Disney’s first-ever “exclusively gay moment” onscreen.
In an interview with Attitude magazine, the film’s director, Bill Condon, opened up about what the magazine described as the updated film’s “treasure trove of gay secrets.”
“LeFou (Josh Gad) is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston (Luke Evans),” Condon says.
“He’s confused about what he wants. It’s somebody who’s just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh 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,” Condon explains.

Now I kind of want to hear a remix of Hellfire and Gaston.
I’m sure it’d be just bizarre enough to listen to.
