Russian politician wants to ban new Beauty and the Beast movieA leading Russian politician is urging the country's culture ministry to ban the Disney film Beauty and the Beast, claiming it is "gay propaganda". Walt Disney Beauty and the Beast is released on March 17 in the US and March 30 in New Zealand. The threatened Russian ban follows a ban on the film by a US drive-in theatre in rural Alabama which said they would not "compromise on what the Bible teaches". The film's director Bill Condon described Le Fou as "somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston". But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie."
