The highly anticipated live-action remake of "Beauty and the Beast" will feature a gay character for the first time in Disney's history, according to the film's director.
Director Bill Condon said in an interview with Attitude, a British gay magazine, that LeFou, the goofy sidekick of the film's main villain, Gaston, will find his own subplot by exploring his sexuality.
"LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston," Condon told Attitude. "He's confused about what he wants. It's somebody who's just realising that he has these feelings." Condon promised the film will have a "nice, exclusively gay moment" at the end.
Many in the LGBTQ have been advocating to see themselves represented in Disney films. Last year, for example, the hashtag #GiveElsaAGirlfriend gained momentum on social media. Those using it were advocating for giving the lead character in Disney's blockbuster hit "Frozen" a female love interest in the sequel.

When a little less than half of your fellow citizens want to be more like Russia, it's VERY important.
