Homosexual Lord of the Rings Star McKellen Blasts Catholic Bishop for Remarks on "Gay Lobby"

By Hilary White

LONDON, August 11, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Two prominent British homosexual actors have lashed out at a Catholic bishop for warning Catholic parents against the advance of the homosexualist movement. Sir Ian McKellen and Simon Callow denounced as "arrogant" and "unchristian" the efforts of Bishop Joseph Devine to warn a group of parents against the secularising aims of the homosexual movement.

McKellan, the actor who has used his fame, derived in part from his role as Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings films, to promote the homosexualist cause, said in a speech at a dinner for Stonewall, "From the pulpit, homophobia is preached by some arrogant religious leaders who think their beliefs are superior to our inborn and, some would say, God-given nature."

McKellan, a founding member of Stonewall, Britain's most successful homosexualist lobby group, referred to a lecture by Bishop Devine of the Motherwell diocese who infuriated homosexualist activists last March by openly acknowledging the existence of and danger to the Christian community of the "gay lobby."

They are the Master race. Just ask them. Strange how those who pass for Knights in England these days would not put up the defense of a Crusade against the Jihad that kills them first.

At the rate of the church in the UK, it is not to worry, the muslim’s will kill all the gay infidels so this won't be an issue.

There is no room for middle ground or dissent; either one embraces the deviant lifestyles of queers, pedophiles, molestors and beastophiles, or you must be condemned for your decency. The insane are running the asylum.

"Beliefs" are neither superior or inferior. It is a matter of right and wrong. That is where the homo lobby is coming from. They know they're wrong, that there is an active, extremely aggressive homo campaign to normalize homo-ness and they don't like hearing the truth about themselves.

Not only queer, Gandalf the Gay is a sex predator that frequently flies to Singapore and Thailand to satisfy his affliction.

UnChristian, ay?

So, I’m sure Jesus loves homosexuals. But if Christ could talk to them, what would he be likely to say?

How about this: “Go, and sin no more.”

Sadly, just another selfish, egotistical narcissist, who sees himself as bigger than God. The arrogance of most gays is worse than Obama’s, and that pretty bad. Taking a Bishop to task over his remarks that are 100% true, and in effect blasting the Lord himself, since Hello?? it's in the Bible in numerous places.

Yep...
Gandalf the Gay...

(We have another name for Magneto, too, but it might get me in trouble... so I ‘shall not utter it here.’)

How sad to be so hardened in your sin that you are blind to your own arrogance and self-righteousness...

“There is none who is righteous, no, not one...”

Sir Ian McKellen can rant and rave, but it will be Christ who will have the last word on his perversion and sin.

Sir Ian McKellen and Simon Callow denounced as "arrogant" and "unchristian". . .

As if either of these men knew the first thing about Christianity.

Magneto the Peter Puffer?

Crap I'll never take that villain seriously again.

I can see the comics now.

Magneto is coming!!
Wolverine: Collosus, get that 20 foot look plastic club and beat him to death with it
Collosus: He might like that too much.
Storm: Well I'm safe. You two boys on the other hand are scrwed (maybe literally)
Jean Grey: So you think he'll like these art prints on the walls?

Bingo. I began wearing a gold crucifix around my neck again - mostly to piss these types off.

Didn't the author of the Harry Potter books and movies have some very dark things to say about Sir Ian and his private screenings held for parts in the upcoming HP movies. Basically forcing kids to become his own private harem if they wanted to be "actors" in these movies. How many TV or Movie Moms bought their boys down to Sir Ian's lecherous private rehersals? Thats the bottom line anyway, HaHaHa!

I've noticed a whole series of knights that have been created that are known homosexuals or outright pedophiles.

The most outrageous Knighthoods were given to superqueer EltonJ.

The most odeous boy lovering pederast is Sir "Peter" Townsend, who did a solo LP without the other survivoring "Who" members called "Rough Boys" It contained enough lyrics that we should have picked him up on our "gaydar displays" When he was caught by Scotland Yard with the largest collection of "Kiddie Porn" ever assembled, he received a regal pass on his heinous crimes against little children.

Those poor children is all I can say. I would sure like to take those two hunting with me some time. Way back in some swamp somewhere.

Gandalf the G[r]ay.

He always looked very queer-eyed at Frodo, Merry and Pippin. Sam would have beat the crap out of him if he tried anything "unnatural".

The health hazards to individuals caused by homosexuality are not a belief. They are a fact.

Can you say “colostomy bag” Gandalf?
