Jack Whitehall faces backlash as Disney's 'first gay man'

[🅱️🅰️LLS. ➿]

Well yeah, but that's just one example of his character. He was basically in love with Gaston. But it was subtle.

Actually, the cast and creators were aware he was straight but Eric Stonestreet consults his co-star and onscreen husband, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, concerning what's "too much" and what's acceptable and how to portray the character comically and respectfully. And yeah, the couple, is shown positively throughout the show's run.

you will never see a gay character in a major blockbuster film because China forbids gay people in their movies.

isn't filmmaking magical?

For fuck's sake, I wish we could just cut ties with China and Saudi Arabia and tell them to go fuck themselves already.

Both of them have way too much fucking power.
