What is it with the sudden influx of homophobes onto LJ? Fermatojam, and Killiganhashope, and now [livejournal.com profile] epicyclical reports an exchange of e-mails with one who apparently managed not to know that Ian McKellen is gay. Doesn't everybody know that?

It has been brought to my attention that I didn't phrase the above paragraph very well. It wasn't the not knowing that made Cassie's e-mailer a homophobe. It was more her reaction to Cassie's suggestion that he is gay. Click on the link to her journal and all will become clear.

I didn't know that for a while.

Didn't make me a homophobe though :\

No, but this girl was insisting that he wasn't, until Cassie presented her with irrefutable evidence. Not knowing is one thing. Refusing to accept it is quite another.
