Sir Ian comes out of the Casting Closet...
...and undresses some painful truths about the myth of Hollywood liberalism:
Sir Ian McKellen has said openly gay US actors are prevented from having successful Hollywood careers."It is very, very, very difficult for an American actor who wants a film career to be open about his sexuality," the gay British actor said.
"And even more difficult for a woman if she's lesbian. It's very distressing to me that that should be the case."
The Lord of the Rings star added: "The film industry is very old fashioned in California."
Suck on that, William Donohue.
