Director Bill Condon looks back on the much-talked-about press and later criticism of 2017's remake of Beauty and the Beast's "exclusively gay moment". Released at the apex of Disney's box office dominance, Beauty and the Beast saw Bill Condon, an openly gay filmmaker, remake the beloved 1991 animated film. One of the most enduring and infamous moments in the film was what was described as "an exclusively gay" moment that turned out to be LeFou (Josh Gad) dancing with a man at the end of the film. The much-hyped scene has been criticized by many people as being a few seconds, which was the bare minimum of what Disney could do in terms of representation.
