Nobody has ever looked to Hollywood for social advance. Hollywood is a dream factory. I love the way that conservatives think that Hollywood is a bed of radicalism - it couldn`t be more staid and old-ladyship if it tried. The audience don`t give a blind whatever about the sexuality of actors. Gay people fancy straight people and vice-versa. It`s all in the head, so what does it matter? You`re not going to meet `Heath Ledger`. You`re not going to find out . . . It`s the image you`re looking at and falling in love with. There will be girls who go and see those two unhappy gay cowboys and go home and have fantasy dreams about them. Lovely!
- Ian McKellenLet`s trace the birth of an idea. It`s born as rampant radicalism, then it becomes progressivism, then liberalism, then it becomes moderated conservative, outmoded, and gone.
