“I don’t thk we did jtice to what a real gay character a Disney film should be,” Gad said a recent terview. * the gay gaston lost *
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 was never tend to be a moment that we should ld ourselv for, bee ankly, I don’t thk we did jtice to what a real gay character a Disney film should be.

Disney films have always ronated wh queer and trans dienc. Here are the gayt films the non. * the gay gaston lost *
” Meanwhile, Gad told USA Today at the film’s premiere that the script did not explicly disclose LeFou’s sexualy as gay. It looks like we might be gettg more gay LeFou Gad, who played the role 2017's live-actn remake of Bety and Beast, where LeFou was portrayed as beg gay, now tells Variety that there uld be more exploratn of his sexualy the upg Disney+ prequel seri about Gaston.
"Now, that uld really mean the film me out, director Bill Condon said that would feature an "exclively gay moment. "The gay moment was a uple of sends of LeFou dancg wh a man at the ball at the end of the 's a part of the film Gad fought for. Disney, wh s famo reticence toward pictg openly gay characters almost certaly didn’t tend to produce an overtly gay narrative Mulan.
As Sean Griff’s book Tker Bells and Evil Queens not, Disney has long targeted gay dienc — and partly bee queer dienc are experts at -optg ostensibly straight narrativ for themselv.

“The ia that lbians and gay men uld be watchg Disney and g the texts (films, TV shows, theme parks, rerds, etc. “Historil evince dit that lbians and gay men have read Disney artifacts om a non-heterosexual viewpot throughout the pany’s history... As long as evince showed that homosexual dienc were unrstandg Disney through a ‘gay sensibily, ’ then a relatnship existed whether Disney approved of or not.
THE TOUCHG TRIBUTE BEHD DISNEY’S FIRST OPENLY GAY CHARACTER
How the tragic ath of a pneerg gay artist may have shaped the story of the new Bety and the Beast. * the gay gaston lost *
The one notable exceptn to this le is Bety and the Beast’s Gaston, a villa tentnally signed to be so manly that he be herently homoerotic. (Observe, for example, how “the gay Gaston” is jt... Villas regularly bee gay ins; Disney prc are equently reamed as gay men; and so many people have read Frozen’s Elsa as queer that the ph to give her a girliend has bee a proment media narrative around that anchise.
It’s probably not a cince that several of the films volved Howard Ashman, a gay mil lyricist who -wrote the sr to The Ltle Mermaid and Bety and the Beast and shaped the story ncept of Aladd before his ath 1991. There are a few characters the Disney non, like Bety and the Beast’s Gaston, who are seen as homoerotic paragons. But perhaps the most heartbreakg gay readg of Bety and the Beast volv the story of the Beast himself.
” That isn’t unlike the prejudice felt by gay men like Ashman, who was alg wh AIDS plitns while wrg the lyrics for the songs of the origal animated movie. The Ln Kg’s Sr follows the shopworn trope of a gay-d villa: He preens, flips his hair, snters ways that his very stiff brother Mufasa don’t. On the one hand, Sr and many stereotypilly portrayed characters like him feel like the byproducts of lazy and unimagative wrg (oh, wow another limp-wristed, gay-ish villa!
'BETY AND THE BEAST'S 'GAY MOMENT' MAY HAVE BEEN MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHG
Sce gay people haven’t ever been allowed to be the hero of Disney movi, no one n really blame for takg our cmbs and appreciatg the bombastic, opposnal, unapologetilly queer villas like Sr. The Ln Kg has a uple of ls-villao queer-d characters Pumba and Timon, Simba’s two nihilistic, adoptive gay dads.
"BETY AND THE BEAST" DIRECTOR NFIRMS OPENLY GAY CHARACTER THE LIVE-ACTN REMAKE
Frollo’s sexual hypocrisy and ragg hatred of Esmeralda, the object of his sir, mak him the perfect allegory for morn-day homophob.
It prompts Disney’s bt “I Want” song, which is also one of the gayt songs ever wrten, “Out There. If only for this reason, Maleficent is one of the gayt Disney films around.
JOSH GAD SAYS HE DON'T THK 'BETY AND THE BEAST' DID 'JTICE TO WHAT A REAL GAY CHARACTER A DISNEY FILM SHOULD BE'
And jt like all nversn therapy, fails, and Maleficent emerg om the moment of trma stronger, angrier, smarter, and ready to be gay, do crim.
