I remember hearing about this. I saw the movie (ridiculously overrated btw) and don't think disney intended on making anything about gayness in it lol. People being delusional.

I wouldn't say delusional.  I agree that I don't think Disney intended it as a straight forward, no pun intended, metaphor for gayness. What it is, is the story of someone who has something that causes her to be an outcast.  This allows people to relate to her for all sorts or reasons.  Being nerdy or bookish, being gay, being a tom boy, etc.  So in that way, it is a metaphor for it, just in a more general sense, if that makes any sense.

Oh, that. I guess you could interpret as a coming out story for lgbtq, if you want.

Yes exactly, it can be interpreted that way, even if the creators didn't intend that specific thing.  And it's not even an incorrect interpretation.

Like any good art, it can be interpreted many ways, depending on who is viewing it.

I got to see the opera here in Germany of Beauty and the Beast.  I've seen the movie so many times I had no trouble following along in a foreign language.
It was really wonderful!!
