Then, Haggridd said:

Hear! Hear!  Who cares!  Ian McKellen is gay and out, and he did a 
much better job as Gandalf in Fellowship of the Rings than Richard 
Harris, who is definitely straight, did as Dumbledore.  They are 
acting, after all, not showing their real life personalities.

Now Me:  

I agree!  Ian McClelland did a smashing job as Gandalf!  And you're right about it not mattering.  My first post was a little insensitive with my opinion and  I wasn't clear on what Corgi was saying.  I guess I have an issue with Gay!Sirius, who is big in fan fic, when I see no evidence in canon pointing to that (my interpretation...I'm sure someone with another interpretation can make a case for Gay!Sirius.)  I'll be more sensitive with my opinions from now on.

Lilac, who has been rightly chastised and will stop ironing her fingers...
