..what would Sir Ian McKellen say...age is never an excuse for mind-sets like this because he's lived many years from back in the day of whatever the views were then..he's not been in a cocoon for all of his life...and he has never seemed like the sort of person to want to say things just for the 'shock factor' either so, so disappointing that he would have said something like that and that he actually believes it..?..
