Can you think of another Disney hero/heroine and villain that would be a worser couple then Belle and Gaston and why? And of course it has to be two of the opposite sex, since I don't know if Disney will ever have a gay or even openly gay character, or even a gay couple.
shareBelle and Gaston would never work as a couple period. Gaston is too much of a self centered boor.

Are you kidding? There must be lots of other ones that would be just as bad if not more, without the actual sexual tension that was intentional in the Gaston-wanting-Belle motive of this film. Off the top of my head, there's already:
Pocahontas and Ratcliffe: the athletic, treehugging free-spirited "Savage" (in Ratcliffe's eyes), with the fat, greedy, materialistic, white man from a completely different culture/country.
Don't forget Esmeralda and Frollo. Frollo is way too old for her and he's a bloody sexual pervert. Frollo is the Glenn Quagmire of Disney villains.

That's a great one, but I was under the impression that the OP was referring to the main protagonist when using the term "hero/heroine". If not, that would open the door to some very easy examples of somewhat secondary "love interest" characters vs. the villains in their films like Prince Eric and Ursula for instance.
shareThe OP is ironic considering that it is the "Beauty and the Beast" remake which features Disney's first openly gay character.
shareAnna & Prince Hans?
shareHow about Jafar and Jasmine?
