Lefou rant
8 years ago
For the Beauty and the Beast animated movie people. I have not seen the live-action movie.
Ok, so for everyone who BELIEVES Lefou (the fool) was always gay………….look, I ship it, look at my gallery, look at what I’m into; Its up my alley, but no, he wasn’t gay for Gaston. He was the bumbly sidekick who was there to be part of the songs and make a funny duo combo with the main antagonist. I mean, if Gaston really had no Lefou, what would that look like? He is just going to be talking to himself? There was always a sidekick to the villain so that they could explain their evil diabolic plans to take over the world (aka the audience).
AND yes, someone from Disney can say “that guy from Frozen was TOTALLY gay” but I’m sorry, you are going to have to do better than lip service and an ambiguous scene.
AND you can say “oh but they wanted it to be about it, expressing the complexity of gay relationship contextually in the straight world blah blah blah” you can say that you attempted to make Beauty and the Beast about immigration, but if that point doesn’t come across, then it doesn’t exist. You can say it was about many things but if you don’t execute it well enough to be clear to the audience, then it won’t be there for them.
Also, you’re reading too much into the 1990s Disney animated movies. A bit too much.
Next they’ll say Don Quixote and Sancho were a gay couple (again, I ship it….but no)
ALSO, those complaining about a gay character being in a Disney movie………………
1. It’s a Disney reboot………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..come on! Does no one remember Maleficent with that tWisT cOnCePt? They can do whatever they want. Maybe Belle is actually an alien from outer space. What. Ever. It’s a Once Upon a Time episode with high budget.
2. If you are actually homophobic, trust me, explaining to your kids why two guys like each other is NOT the worst thing you’ll have to explain to your kids. Wait till the puppy you got them for Christmas dies. Ho boy. I mean if you are homophobic monsters you can just say they are freaks and they will grow up to be like you. Win win situation.
I want to draw gaston/lefou rule 34 :( but but, gaston makes it hard to do. He was such a…..well……..a bad guy…………..sigh……….

The whole gay thing with Lefou is so stupid.
All this pandering that's been going on with Hollywood in general is really wearing on me.
I'm gay myself but I'm soooo tired of seeing them 'queer up' all these characters in movies that don't need it.
