Ian McKellen: ‘Cruel’ religious leaders to blame for LGBT teens being thrown out of homes ›

danglingthpider:

“Every cruel religious leader, every religious politician or bigot who says something anti-gay should be ashamed,” he said. “They are turning our kids onto the street when their parents listen to the ridiculous remarks that they make.”

“In the Fifties and Sixties, the life of a gay man was a secret. Homosexuality was illegal, so you didn’t draw attention to yourself. But coming out is the best thing I ever did and I’ve never met a gay person who didn’t think the same. Even now there are young actors who want careers as romantic leading men and the best thing is not to reveal you’re gay. I suppose I used to wonder if I’d be allowed to play Romeo if I came out. Eventually, I thought if you compromise to the extent of lying about yourself, is there any job in the world that’s worth that? I don’t think there is. It’s still a sensitive issue in Hollywood, though.” (December 2012)

We thought Gandalf the White was a bit of a stick. He was a military commander; he had to save Middle-earth. Gandalf the Grey was trying to do that, too, but he still had time to go party down in Hobbiton, smoke God knows what sort of weed with Bilbo, have a drink, play games with kids and let off fireworks. And we get to see a little bit of that in The Hobbit.
