Fast Food Is Not Homophobic

"For a moment I think I can see a flash of wizard in this well-coiffed 
man in late middle age, just as, at another moment, I thought I could 
see the Elven princess in a spoiled and isolated young woman. (Seduced 
by the junket mojo once again, I guess.) At any rate, it seems that 
McKellen does not intend to let the "Lord of the Rings" phenomenon 
control him, if he can help it. "My friend Armistead Maupin [author of 
'Tales of the City'], who convinced me to come out of the closet 
regarding my own sexuality, do you know what he said?" Clearly we do 
not. "He said, 'I cannot believe that an openly gay man is being given 
away with hamburgers.'" We laugh. He smiles but looks a little sad, as 
wizards will."
