    The House of Lords has just begun the Committee stage of its discussion of the 1988 Local Government Bill. Not at first an issue of pressing interest to people in the Arts but Clause 28 of the Bill, added during the Committee Stage in the House of Commons, has set alarm bells ringing among people in the theatre, the visual arts, the cinema, music, museums and libraries. As it stands, Clause 28 is intended to make it illegal for Local Authorities to "promote homosexuality" or to give money or assistance to anybody who does. The Clause is principally aimed at local authority responsibility for education but there are fears, shared by the Arts Council, that Clause 28 could be applied to local authority funding for the Arts. In other words, that this is a backdoor reintroduction of censorship. An ad-hoc arts lob gay ian

    It’s 30 years since Ian McKellen came out and the internet is celebrating

    The acclaimed British player and LGBTQ+ activist first publicly said he was same-sex attracted on 27 January 1988 during a BBC Radio 3 discussion on the controversial Section 28 of the Local Government Bill 1988, external that prevented local authorities from “intentionally promot[ing] homosexuality or publish[ing] material with the intention of promoting homosexuality".

    Asked whether he would like to notice Section 28 abolished, Sir Ian replied: “I certainly would. It’s offensive to anyone who is - like myself - homosexual, apart from the whole business of what can and cannot be taught to children.” And that April, he helped to found the LGBT rights help Stonewall, named after the riots in New York City’s Greenwich Village, external of 20 years earlier.

    Section 28 was eventually fully repealed in 2003., external

    Sir Ian has spoken about his experiences in coming out on several occasions. Support in July 2000 when he was filming Lord Of The Rings, he wrote in The Independent, external: “The only good thing I can contemplate to say about Section 28 is that it finally encouraged me to come out. A bit late in the day, but

    Activism

    Actors and others who take advantage of their access to the media by publicising and letting fly the bees in their bonnets, are often criticised for not sticking to what they do best. Clergy can pronounce on anything, politicians on everything, but actors should stick to acting. I've been on occasion lambasted for expressing my views by the very journalists who have enquired about them!

    Since coming out in 1988, I've been asked, almost expected, to speak and inscribe about gay issues. And I've been very happy to do so in London, Washington DC, Cape Town and on any number of Gay Event Days everywhere. I have been reluctant to lobby on other issues I most care about - nuclear weapons (against), religion (atheist), capital punishment (anti), AIDS (fund-raiser) because I don't crave to be forever spouting, diluting the impact of addressing my most urgent concern: legal and social equality for gay people worldwide.

    There have, though, been a variety of charities for the arts and other causes I have publically supported in a variety of ways; I hope you hope to link to them. — Ian McKellen, Ju
