It’s been nearly five years sce Disney’s live-actn Bety and the Beast ma headl for an “exclively gay moment” volvg LeFou (played by Josh Gad), the dim-wted sikick to the villao Gaston (Le Evans). ’ My regret what happened is that beme ‘Disney’s first explicly gay moment’ and was never tend to be that.

It’s certa as the sun — Josh Gad’s character Bety and the Beast is gay.
But is a nice, exclively gay moment a Disney movie. The live-actn “Bety and the Beast” remake is set to make history by featurg Disney’s first-ever “exclively gay moment, ” director Bill Condon Emma Watson sg “Belle” om “Bety and the Beast”In the new film, Josh Gad’s character LeFou -- a syphantic henchman to the nceed Gaston, played by Le Evans -- will be prented a b differently om the 1991 animated versn.

GastonGaston's entire purpose life is to let know he's not gay.
Perhaps Gaston over-performs his masculy precisely bee he liv such a homophobic French small town/fictnal Disney movie.

It's a ltle disappotg that he's the only out gay character Disney's newt versn of Bety and The Beast, and not a particularly posive one.
