"A drive-in theater in Alabama has decided not to screen Disney’s live-action “Beauty and the Beast” following the revelation that one of the film’s characters is gay.
Henagar Drive-In Theatre made the announcement on Facebook in the wake of news that Josh Gad’s character, LeFou, would be the first openly gay character to feature in a Disney film.
Henagar’s new owner took announced the decision, citing their religious beliefs as the reason the drive-in will opt not to screen the movie. “When companies continually force their views on us we need to take a stand. We all make choices and I am making mine,” the owner wrote. “For those that do not know Beauty and the Beast is ‘premiering’ their first homosexual character."
