Is everyone gay?

The critic articles for Beauty and The Beast were the most critic articles we have had all semester in my opinion. Especially, the Peter Steeves article that basically attested that all the characters in Disney's Beauty and the Beast are sexually driven and most of them are either gay or lesbian. Thinking about the story in this way really transforms the story being told as you watch the seemingly playfull cartoon flit across your tv screen. All of the phallic and homo-erotic images in the movie are lost to us as children but once you are looking the film twists and becomes a completely different story and each character takes on a different personality. Gaston becomes a hero who we sympathize with and wish we could help with his problems. Belle is a selfish conviving girl. Beast becomes a tortured and sad individual who is so desperate for human interactin he wil give up everything he is and stands for.
