First in the list is George Takei, who is best known for his Mr. Hikaru Sulu (helmsman of the starship U.S.S. enterprise) role in the quintessential series Star Trek. Now he has a recurring character in NBC's new series Heroes as Kaito (time traveler) Nakamura's father. An asteroid was also named in honor of him, the asteroid official name is 7307 Takei, and is located between Mars and Jupiter. It was in October 2005 when he finally outed himself in an issue of Frontiers magazine and has been in a committed relationship with his 18 years partner, Brad Altman. A member and a spokesman of Human Rights Campaign's Coming Out project he embarked on a nationwide speaking tour called the "Equality Trek" in which he talked about his life as a gay Japanese American.
Sir Ian McKellen is our second subject who played the famous character Gandalf in Lord of the Rings
and Magneto in X-Men.
He outed himself on a BBC's radio show year 1988 and lobbied off the Section 28 bill. He's still very active into forwarding our gay cause. He is is the co-founder of Stonewall and patron of LGBT History Month and GAY-GLOS.
Recently, our beloved franchise book and film "Harry Potter" have outed Albus Dumbledore. J.K. Rowling answered a fan question about the characters true love with a shocking revelation ,"Dumbledore is gay."
And further explained that the mage was smitten with a rival with whom he defeated long ago in a battle of good and bad wizards. Now the character in the movie was played by two straight actors; Richard Harris and Michael Gambon. Would it be better if it is really played by one?
