The live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast will feature Disney's first ever gay character and love scene.
US actor Josh Gad plays LeFou, a sidekick of the film's main antagonist Gaston.
LeFou tries to come to terms with feelings for Gaston that swing between l*st and admiration, as a side-plot to the main story.
When the first Beauty and the Beast trailer was released last year it had almost 130 million views in 24 hours.
Disney are calling it their first ever exclusively gay moment on film * +

Speaking with Attitude Magazine , director Bill Condon believes LeFou's role breaks new ground when it comes to LGBT visibility on screen.
'It's somebody who's just realising that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it, he said.
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 * +

Matt Cain, the editor of Attitude, said the film breaks new boundaries.
'It may have been a long time coming but this is a watershed moment for Disney, he told Newsbeat.
He believes there's more that needs to be done to create cinema that reflects real life.
It's a step in the right direction and I applaud Disney for being brave enough to make it, he said.
In doing so, it will hopefully help to change attitudes and bring about real social progress. * +

Since when has Disney been about reflecting real life? Way too many dancing/singing teapots over the years.. Maybe the teapot was gay and we never knew? * +

I don't really care for any love scenes, but when vibes are going on between people, I don't see that it matters what sex they are. The representation is there regardless. Hetro love stories aren't just for hetros after all... * +

I bet, if you looked back through ALL the Disney movies, there'd at least be a few instances where it was being implied that someone was gay. Or at least very camp? Maybe this is just to get publicity for the movie idk. * +

'There's a married gay couple in Disney's Zootopia and nearly everybody missed it'

Do cartoon animals count though? * +
