Hollywood "Resists Gay Actors"

Oscar-winning actor Sir Ian "Gandalf" Mckellen lambasted the film industry in LA at the Berlin Film Festival for keeping actors in the closet.

I particularly liked the quote at the end of the article.

"This has been a landmark year for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender-inclusive films," said Neil G Giuliano, president of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.

"These are films with an emotional authenticity that have clearly connected with both gay and straight audiences alike.

"By telling our stories, this year's Oscar nominees have helped raise the visibility of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues and have given millions of Americans a greater understanding of who we are."
