Attention, hotels…if you’ve got a “Sir Ian McKellen” on your list of incoming guests, you should probably remove the Bible from the bedside table drawer in his room and read this recent Q&A with Details magazine (quoted on PopEater):
“The openly gay ‘Lord of the Rings’ star admits to a habit of tearing out the Bible passage that condemns homosexuality — (“Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.” – Leviticus 18:22) — every time he finds one in his hotel room.[…] “I’m not proudly defacing the book,” he asserts, “but it’s a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible. McKellen says his actions have inspired others to do the same. “I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom.” “
McKellen, who remained closeted for much of his career, also speaks candidly of the scars he suffered of having to hide who he was in order to succeed in his chosen field. “Acting was a means to publicly display my emotions in a way that was illegal for me to do as a private person. […] It was horrible living this secret life. You could feel a little bit what it was like to be a Jew in central Europe during a certain period. It was horrible.” In the X-Men movies, McKellen played Magneto, whose backstory including discovering his mutation as a Jewish child in a Nazi concentration camp and surviving the Holocaust; although his role is primarily that of villain, Magneto’s actions “are driven by the purpose of protecting the mutant race from suffering a similar fate.” (Hat tip to Smoking Lizard Soapbox, who penned this “Open Letter to Sir Ian McKellen,” wherein he disagreed with McKellen’s choice, noting, among other points that hotels “provide both Bibles and porn because they don’t get to judge their guests.”)

Does he do that to Korans? No, of course not.
Just another drama queen faggie shrieking “Look at MEEEEE!!!”
Why don’t they just add the cost of the Bible to his hotel tab?
Homosexuals, as a group, not all of course, seem to be prone to strong emotions and violent outbursts. Not sure why that it. There are “drama queens” if I can use that term and not get flamed.
What’s he gonna do to protect himself from his final fate, I wonder? That’s gonna be a site to see. Lol. Keep ripping them pages out, “sir”. That’s not gonna do a darn thing to change your fate.
If you want to get back at him, tear all of the bathhouse ads out of the yellow pages.
Thank God, truth lives whether it is concealed or not. I don’t hate Ian McKellen, and I pray that God would reveal Himself to him.
You shall not passage!
Well that’s queer.
Stand before the father, and answer for that one! Sir Ian may find a very long eternity in a very hot place.
He’s also available for book burnings.
The funny thing is this...I dont know that he has all the Scriptures covered, there are other verses condemning it.
No one is homosexual from birth. It is a psychological disorder caused by a deep-seated hysterical fear of the opposite sex. Some people are afraid of snakes, or spiders, or cats: but some are very, very fearful of the opposite sex.
Tearing out pages from the Bible? That’ll fix their wagons....
“Sir Ian McKellen”
Technically, shouldn’t that have been “Lady”?
Shouldn’t he have played one of the fairies in LOTR?
I like defacing pictures of Ernst Röhm.
This “rooster” sucker likes defacing other people’s property. Great way to support your cause, homo.
