That "exclusively gay moment" was an enormous waste of time which is impressive given it takes up a total of 45 seconds of running time

Like, LeFou was sidekick to a bully bc he gets off on proximity to power, you don't need to add romantic subtext to that

So now LeFou isn't a bad guy, he just didn't realize Gaston is actually a bad guy, bc he's... very stupid?

Like Gaston makes sense in the original. He's a mostly harmless bully until Belle publicly humiliates him, which he isn't equipped to handle

LeFou tries to help by pumping up his ego with the musical number "Gaston", Maurice appears right at the moment hes most drunk on popularity

Result, Gaston's first ever Evil Plan (or plan of any kind), the moment he crosses the line in "Gaston (Reprise)", which the LA version cut

But it's still a *deniable* Evil Plan, it's still something he can tell himself he's doing for Maurice's own good or whatever
