In the Novemberissue of “Details” magazine, acclaimed actor Ian McKellen confessed that every time he stays in a hotel (and he does that quite frequently), he looks for the ubiquitous Gideon Bible in the nightstand.
Then he tears out the page from Leviticus that condemns homosexuality.
The out and outspoken thespian states:
“I’m not proudly defacing the book. But it’s a choice between removing that page and throwing away the whole Bible.
“And I’m not really the first: I got delivered a packages of 40 of those pages —Levicitus 18:22 —that had been torn out by a married couple I know.
“They put them on a bit of string so that I could hang it up in the bathroom”
Such sweet revenge!
