Beauty and the Beast makes Disney history with gay characterDisney's upcoming live-action Beauty and the Beast remake will include an explicitly gay character for the first time. "LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston," he said. Walt Disney Beauty and the Beast screens in NZ on March 30. "It is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie," he said. While some fans have praised Disney for finally embracing diversity, some have pointed out that it's "flawed" to have a gay character fall in love with a straight one.
