Our world-exclusive feature with the director and stars of Disney’s live-action remake of Beauty and the Beast was lined up before I took over at the helm of Attitude. But I was immediately intrigued to find out why so many gay men have fallen in love with what, on the surface, seems to be a very straight love story. I expected to find an example of gay film fans being drawn towards escapist culture and gay filmmakers escaping problems in their own lives through the creative process. I did, but, as you’ll see, there’s more to the story than that…
If Beauty and the Beast isn’t your thing, we also have features on RAY BLK, Goldfrapp and Joan Collins. If you’re too young to remember Joan’s heyday as super-bitch Alexis Carrington Colby in Dynasty, check out YouTube for her best catfights with Krystle. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, my favourite’s the one in the painting studio.
