OMG I want to marry him!

But I'm starting to get just the tiniest of suspicions that he doesn't swing that way... ;)

What a man ! What a fabulous human being ! RESPECT SIR !

I am not gay but I 've seen how they are still discriminated and hurt so I understand they have to afirm their proudness to be what they are in front of the world : I whsh the day will come those manifestations won't be usefull because being gay or white or black or anything would not even be noticed ...

On this day I dream of , you will be apreciated only on your charm intelligence work , goodness ect...

Yesterday I bought the whole LOTR trilogy cause Ive only watched the 1st one eight years ago with my parents on the cinema, then I was thinking of how cool he was when he played Gandalf, he was awesome, then I checked on Internet and I was so happy when I found out he was gay like me. I liked how he mentioned all countries that are for LGBT rights. He seems to be really proud and campaigns a lot for the LGBT community.

This man could read the yellow pages and make it sound profound. I just love him. Every word that he said in this speech is so true.

Not only influential to LGBT people across the U.K. and the rest of the world.

But an astounding figure for equality for everyone!

sir ian mckellan is one of my heroes and he doies great things for the gay community. When he said "how many lesbians?" I sat here and gave a cheer.

[deadxkorps]

Well if he is one of your heroes you might want to start spelling his name right then?

[squirrelygirl816]
