I was going through my email and saw a great quote in a news email I got on a mailing list.
"When Sir Ian McKellen was lobbying then Home Secretary Michael Howard about the controversial Section 28, which forbids the promotion of homosexuality in schools, Mr. Howard asked for the actor's autograph for his children. With a smile on his face, but with his lobbying having failed, McKellen says he wrote: 'Fuck off, I'm gay.'"
