VIDEO : 'Beauty and the Beast': Josh Gad Plays Disney's First-Ever Gay Character

Josh Gad's character in Beauty and the Beast is gay. Thanks to a subplot alteration, LeFou, Gaston's sidekick, will be Disney's first-ever LGBTQ character.

?LeFou is somebody who on one day wants to be Gaston and on another day wants to kiss Gaston,? director Bill Condon tells Attitude.

?He?s confused about what he wants. It?s somebody who?s just realizing that he has these feelings. And Josh makes something really subtle and delicious out of it."

"And that?s what has its payoff at the end, which I don?t want to give away. But it is a nice, exclusively gay moment in a Disney movie."
