It&#8217;s a quite touching account of a teenage boy who&#8217;s recently announced he&#8217;s homosexual. Naturally, Sir Ian McKellen is mentioned because of his positive impact on the perception of homosexuality in the modern day. It&#8217;s just&#8230; the nature of the mention that had me in stitches. To paraphrase Mark Twain, reports of Sir Ian&#8217;s death have been greatly exaggerated.
