Live-Action Beauty And The Beast Remake To Feature Disney’s First-Ever “Exclusively Gay Moment” [VIDEO]

Paging you-know-who! Playbill reports:

When the live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast hits screens March 17, it will make history as the first Disney film to include an “exclusively gay moment,” according to the film’s director, Bill Condon. Condon revealed the landmark news in an exclusive interview with Attitude Magazine.

The subplot involves the relationship between LeFou (played by Tony Award nominee Josh Gad) and Gaston (played by Luke Evans). While Gaston has his sights set on wooing Belle, his devoted sidekick LeFou is experiencing his own personal struggle.

“He’s confused about what he wants,” Condon says. “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.”
