However, not everyone is happy with the development as a movement to boycott Disney has been launched on Twitter. Some users took issue with the portrayal of a gay scene in a film aimed at children.
Regrettably I will have to #BoycottDisney. I love gay people but I don’t support this agenda being shoved in kid’s faces
.Just keep it up @DisneyPixar. We are not going to see your movies anymore. We’ve had enough. #BoycottDisneyhttps://twitter.com/tteegar/status/837054679263637517 …
Some were also critical of Disney for choosing a portray LeFou as gay when he clearly plays a subservient role to Gaston and questioned the message that sends to young gay kids.
Gaston mistreats Lefou constantly, some may even say it’s abuse – what a horrible message to send to young kids that he’s in LOVE with him
A subplot exploring the toxic masculine friendship of Gaston & LeFou would have been more interesting, but sure, we’ll take a Token Gay.
