Controversy over LeFou's sexuality?


Are we forgetting this is a guy who sang a song about how great he thinks his buddy is, and that there is no one in the world quite like him? He seems a little too eager to please him, and this was during the animated film...

reply

Well, that must mean all the men in the village are gay...

reply

They perhaps all want to be like him, but LeFou is the sidekick...

reply

Well yes, but that doesn't make any of them gay.

reply

Honestly, I think everyone's just afraid of Gaston. And for that Gaston song, most of them were probably drunk anyway.

reply

Yes, that's what I always thought when I was a kid. Gaston was not necessarily everyone loved, they just sang it because he was the big bully at the playground. The cartoon guys even look scared in parts of the song.
