There isn't anything solid of course, but a couple of things confuse me.Allstar wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2019, 11:59 amThere’s really nothing to suggest he was at all.Master Virgo wrote: ↑January 23rd, 2019, 9:14 amI really hope McKellen has not been part of his circle.£
“Frankly I’m waiting for someone to accuse me of something,” McKellen joked when the subject was first raised, to laughter from the audience, “and me wondering if they’re not telling the truth and me having forgotten.”
“If they had been able to be open about themselves and their desires, they wouldn’t have gotten into the … they wouldn’t have started abusing people in the way they’ve been accused.”
McKellen went on to say that it is “debatable” whether people who have been accused should continue working. “Do you want to see someone who’s been accused of something that you don’t approve of?” he said. “Do you ever want to see them again? If the answer is no, you won’t buy a ticket; you won’t turn on the television. But there may be others for whom that’s not a consideration.”
i agree 100%, but it's probably also true if you're closeted and you don't have healthy outlets it will increase the chances exponentially you will abuse someone. So in that sense, it's less that he's wrong per se, it's more that he's drawing a harmful amount of emphasis on a fact that isn't the most important thing to be talking about right now.Ruth wrote: ↑March 1st, 2019, 5:24 pmI wonder if he realizes statements like these are actually very harmful to the LGBT community. He’s (consciously or not) insinuating closeted gay people harbor pedophilic tendencies that can manifest if they can’t come out. Linking pedophilia or abuse of other kinds to homosexuality once again. That’s just... so wrong man.
Exactly. I don't know how he thought this was okay to say, let alone at this time when the real dialogue needs to be the awareness and condemnation of the abuse itself.Vader182 wrote: ↑March 1st, 2019, 6:02 pmi agree 100%, but it's probably also true if you're closeted and you don't have healthy outlets it will increase the chances exponentially you will abuse someone.
