Rupert Everett says being gay is still a bad career move...

QUOTE: "[Announcing that you’re gay is] not that advisable to be honest. It’s not very easy. And, honestly, I would not advise any actor necessarily, if he was really thinking of his career, to come out. … The fact is that you could not be, and still cannot be, a 25-year-old homosexual trying to make it in the British film business or the American film business or even the Italian film business."

—actor Rupert Everett, who voiced Prince Charming in the Shrek movies and Mr. Fox in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He may be most well known for his role in 1997’s My Best Friend’s Wedding

This makes me want to cry and wish I could laugh. I stumbled across it on list of other really distressing quotes. I guess it should serve to remind us all of ideas that I can't honestly fathom standing behind. Dangerous. Scary. Completely and utterly heartbreaking. I hate progressive liberals whining about intolerance as much as the next progressive liberal, but come on world! Grow a pair and stop this nonsense.
