This is a Walt Disney movie. This is a movie for children. It is a famous story we’ve all seen, heard, read. One of the most well known Fairy Tales.
I suppose, the words Fairy Tale is a bit, prophetic.
In Malaysia, which does not support homosexuality, the short scene was cut. It wasn’t in the original story, nor ever in any of the retellings and remakings of films. But, it is in this film.
So those in Malaysia requested that Disney cut the scene.
Disney pulled the film.
This film is a live-action remake. The previous films were cartoons. But these are actors. There is scene in which the sexuality of the sidekick character called LeFou, is made obvious. Apparently, this character LeFou is stuck between feeling admiration and lust for a character called Gaston.
Homosexuality is illegal in Malaysia. It is not included in films. The only time a gay character or a discussion of homosexuality might be allowed is if is a negative or a repentance.

Excellent question in the end of your article "One wonders what is going on." Over the past few years, it seems to me as if the Western media is constantly pushing stories and images of homosexuality in our homes through plays, books, movies, and news. No story seems to be complete without a homosexual character even where it is not needed in the plot or has got nothing to do with the story.
Exactly. Here is a story we all know... there is no Gay character in Beauty and the Beast, yet this one is jammed in and you are forced to keep it in... why? Why is homosexuality being forced on people?
I must agree that it being a movie that caters for children and their parents, that part should really be cut.
Indeed it seems that homosexuality now is now being injected in movies. Good if it is to make people laugh, it will be okay and can be watched by children, since gays are people filled with humor.
Actually, I haven't seen that movie yet. Maybe because it's the for children type of movie that's why I am not interested, although I can watch that should I want to. I think the kid in me has already slept just waiting to be awakened.
Though here in the Philippines the children are used to seeing gays in fact some of them are already gays at a young age.
However, in your country where it is not yet openly accepted, it understandable that the said part be cut instead. That's a good move of your government. I salute your government for doing that.
Malayasia went to cut it, and Disney refused. In Jamaica... I don't think they'll show the movie. We don't need to see it.
LOL. If people could re-write the Bible they'd make the relationship between David and Jonathan homosexual. Believe me I've heard people try to argue that! So there's a gay scene in the latest version of “Beauty and Beast”. Why am I not surprised?
