Proving childhood dreams do come true, Gaston's gay! Kinda.
Questionably out actor Luke Evans — best known for his role as Zeus in Immortals — has been cast as the villainous Gaston in the live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast.
Emma Stone and Downton Abbey's Dan Stevens will play the titular couple, with Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) handling directorial duties. Though he came out in a 2002 Advocate article, Evans has been noticeably less loud and proud about his sexuality as he climbs the Hollywood ladder. But, that won't stop us from fangirling.
"It’s good for people to look at me and think this guy is doing his thing and enjoying what he’s doing and successful at it and living his life."
Having a gay actor play a stereotypically masculine character like Gaston would be pretty legit. But, could anyone fill Gaston's absurdly tight shirts?

        10 best queer horror movies in 2025

Queer horror 2025: The Restoration of Grayson Manor, Abigail Before Beatrice, Companion 

        Bankside Films; Exit 44 Entertainment; New Line Cinema
    
No doubt, 2025 has provided us with plenty to be scared about. But it also, thankfully, gave us ample opportunities to exorcise those fears through the safety of cinematic horror.
So with that in mind, here is the best of the best in ascending order. From queer folk horror to sapphic antiheroes to obsessed kidnappers, these queer movies chilled, thrilled, and tingled my spine the most this year.

Gay enemies-to-lovers movies: Fire Island, In From the Side, Red White and Royal Blue

        Hulu, Strand Releasing, Prime Video
    
There is just something so irresistible about an enemies-to-lovers story. The tension as it builds, the dynamic as it shifts, and then—when they finally give in to their desire… hot.
Heated Rivalry and numerous BL (boy love) shows like My Personal Weatherman and The New Employee prove that we queer folks have a real appetite for these stories.

There is no such thing as too many WLW movies. In fact, they are far too few—particularly when it comes to films that celebrate sapphic love between queer women of color.
While the list is much shorter than we would hope—and we’d love to see that change—what these movies lack in quantity, they more than make up for in quality.

        'Dust Bunny' is a magical, gay-helmed masterpiece you must see on the big screen

Sophie Sloan, Mads Mikkelsen, and Sigourney Weaver in Dust Bunny 

        Roadside Attractions
    
The holiday season is a time for magic, wonder, and joy. And perhaps no film this year delivers on those feelings better than Bryan Fuller’s debut feature film, Dust Bunny, a brilliant and lush kaleidoscope of color, bizarrely wonderful characters, and one giant killer bunny. It’s films like this for which the theatrical experience was created.
To paraphrase a famed meme, Dust Bunny is absolute cinema.
