Gandalf’s gay? That explains why he never punched that moron Frodo.

I wonder if ripping out pages of the Bible changes the intended meaning.

I'm not sure, but somehow, I think not.

Kind of like a number of mainline churches in America. If you don’t like what God has to say on an issue, tear it out and believe whatever you want.

I’ve seen it in hotels. I’ve also seen seen things like Fox news channel deprogrammed from remotes, not that fox is particular on this subject, it’s amazing the petty neurotic things that leftists do sometimes.

McKellan’s been doing this for years.

He’s an amazing actor. Why do good actors always have to spoil things and open their mouths about social and political issues.

As far as Tolkien’s view..well, IIRC, Tolkien was Catholic, so I would imagine is view differed a bit from McKlellan’s.

Plus, it wasn’t just LOTR that made him huge. He was Magneto, too. :)

Typical liberal, when the message says something they don't like they stifle the speech of others who disagree.

The hotels ought to sue Gandalf the pink for vandalism.

Gandalf the Gay to become what? Gandalf the Pink? Yeesh! The whole story line and the movies are forever altered for the worst in my mind.

Well he is just a perfect Democrat then that’s all. For if you embrace and promote a degenerate lifestyle and condone and support taking innocent life. If you tear up sacred scripture you are just perfect for the democratic party. If you Lie under oath, have extramarital sex with
an Intern or have a sleazy pornographer like Larry Flint to do you’re bidding then you are a democrat.

"Its Leviticus 18:22 that I object to, or is it 22:18, I've always got to look it up. Thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, it is an abomination. And they, I think the punishment for an abomination was being stoned to death," he said.

McKellen added, "I think it's rather obscene and pornographic, and shouldn't be there, so I remove it."

So we can go around removing the classifieds from free "alternative" newspapers?
