GAY McKELLAN RECEIVED DEATH THREATS
Openly gay actor SIR IAN McKELLAN once received death threats because of his sexuality.
The Lord of the Rings star, who came out in 1988, claims to have been the victim of several threats against his life, and insists his native Britain is still intolerant of homosexuality.
He says, "There are deaths in public places on the grounds that the victim is gay. There is violence of language which can be related to violence in action." But the 69-year-old has noted the number of intimidating threats has "declined considerably" as he has grown older.
He adds: "I think I’ve become rather boring to the public at large on this particular issue."
