listen the original beauty and the beast 1991 line is “if he could learn to love another and earn her love in return”
but (unless i misheard which i don’t think i did) the 2017 version is “and earn their love in return,” which i am taking as 100% rock solid evidence that not only is lefou gay in this one but the beast has also been revamped as pansexual and the curse could’ve been broken by a cute nerd of any gender so long as they were ready to fight the beast on his literary tastes
