“It all happened after coming out. I had no idea this silly thing was a weight on my shoulders. That’s my message to anyone in this town who thinks ‘I’ve got to stay in the closet to be successful in films.’ I didn’t. Do you want to be a famous movie star who has love scenes with ladies and in private be an unhappy gay? There’s no choice. Forget the career, dear. Go and do something else … A closet’s a really nasty place to live, you know? It’s dirty, it’s dusty, it’s full of skeletons. You don’t want it. Open that door — fling it wide and be yourself.”
— Sir Ian McKellen, who came out publicly in 1988, in a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter
“Fling it wide and be yourself”. ??
Will you be flinging yours wide open? 🙂
We’re still talking about closet doors right?
After you, your highness, after you. ?

PREACH!!!!! The closet is a dank, damp, musty place where you slowly extinguish all the bright points in your life …its exhilarating to be out, but until then … ***affixes extra set of locks to closet doors behind massive granite walls encased in heavily fortified fortress with a 20-inch deep moat filled with amphibious dragons***
Preach Gandalf!! Preach!!!!
