They didn't use it in the marketing. The director mentioned it in an interview because he was excited, and it blew up from there. Disney wasn't going around talking about it.

And LeFou being in love with Gaston was a pretty big part of his storyline.

>>And LeFou being in love with Gaston was a pretty big part of his storyline.

Was it, though? I mean, it helps give a little oomph to his motivations for semi-blindly hero-worshipping Gaston, but his actual actions throughout the film aren't so different from the animated version (in my recollection, anyway -- I remember watching for impact and being disappointed).

In the remake LeFou has his whole storyline where becomes disillusioned with Gaston as Gaston becomes more monstrous, in the original LeFou stays loyal and doesn't have a character arc of his own

Well, yeah, but that's kind of in the realm of just character development? Both in the sense they developed his character more in the transition to live action, and his character developed over the course of the live action film.

None of which was directly a result of him being in love with Gaston. Drop the blink-and-you-miss-it dance at the end, and you just have a story of the sidekick becoming disillusioned with his jerk friend and breaking out of his orbit.

It was pretty blatant in the Gaston song, too.

This. The only reason it became a big thing was because of homophobic jerks who made it a thing.

Let's please not ignore that the people who were pretty fucking annoyed (and rightfully so, imo) at the ridiculous joke character being the lauded "first gay Disney character in a major franchise" also added quite a bit to the noise.

If they thought he was a ridiculous joke character, they were conflating the animated version with the live action version.
