Actor Sir Ian McKellen has revealed he is to tour Britain's schools preaching about gay tolerance.

The openly gay star, who is best known to youngsters as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings blockbusters, wants to encourage other homosexual men to go back to their former schools and lecture pupils on homophobia.

Revealing his campaign in gay magazine Attitude, Sir Ian said: 'I’ve been busy at quite a few schools recently. I went to a wonderful co-ed faith school in Harpenden.

'They were Christians and absolutely determined that their pupils did not discriminate. They invited me to come and give prizes to 13-year-olds in front of the parents and to talk, partly, about being gay.

‘Gandalf’ said: “I knighted a pair of children Sir Minority and Dame Minority and it went down very well.”

Pervert!

Oh yeah, they really do say it. Let the name of Jane Lane go down in history as one of DNA's greatest mistakes.

Damn. The more I know about actors and what they think about issues, the less I get to enjoy movies. I thought he did a pretty good job in those films, and now when I see them I’ll have to think about this...yuck.

I thought all Englishmen were gay. They certainly act that way.

Some just give up I think...

“they don’t have gays in sharia neighborhoods”

Oh yes they do. It’s the biggest open secret in the world.

What school board in their right mind would allow such a campaign, knowing his stated goal?

Or the latest fad, because “gay” is, like, so passe: Bi, transgendered, whatever.

The man is lecturing on homophobia and bullying, he is hardly to ‘make kids gay’...

If you know McKellen’s career, until recently he wanted nothing to do with the militant wing of gay groups and preferred to keep his sexuality private.

Why?.

I have a problem with actors who spout their mouth off on any issue, I dont have a problem if an actor is gay or bi in their private life.

Some of my favourite British and American actors are/have been gay, some bi, most of them straight. As long as it dosent affect the films, frankly big deal.
