IAN MCKELLEN RIPS OUT BIBLES GAY PAGES
Famed actor Sir Ian McKellen's penchant for ripping out pages of the Bibles he finds in his hotel rooms has caught on. Die hard fans send him sections of text they've removed. The very openly gay "Lord of the Rings" star tears out a section of Leviticus, which condemns homosexuality, whenever he finds the book in hotel suites, and he has inspired others around the world to do the same. He tells Details magazine , "I'm not proudly defacing the book, but it's a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible. "I got delivered a package of 40 of those pages... that had been torn out by a married couple I know. They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom."
