Sir Ian McKellen urges queer actors to come out: 'Get into the sunshine'
Briefly

Ian McKellen, the renowned actor, has expressed sadness over LGBTQ+ actors who remain in the closet. In an interview, he urged them to embrace their identities, asserting he’s never encountered anyone who regretted coming out. McKellen recounted how his own life improved significantly after coming out in 1988, partly as a protest against anti-homosexual legislation. He emphasized that actors should prioritize their own feelings and seek advice from trusted friends, encouraging them to break from societal pressures and celebrate their authenticity.
I have never met anybody who came out who regretted it. I feel sorry for any famous person who feels they can't come out. Being in the closet is silly - there's no need for it.
Don't listen to your advisers, listen to your heart. Listen to your gay friends who know better. Come out. Get into the sunshine.
