Sir Ian McKellen and 27 Nobel prize winners protest Russia’s anti gay laws in an open letter.

The letter was addressed to President Vladimir Putin and the Russian people over its treatment of LGBTIs.

Sir Ian McKellen and 27 Nobel prize winners have sent an open letter to the Russian government to protest their treatment of LGBTIs.

The letter was co-written by Sir Ian McKellen and childhood friend, noted chemist Sir Harry Kroto.

McKellen and Kroto state that they wrote the letter to demonstrate that,

“…many senior members of the international scientific community show solidarity with politicians, artists, sports people and many others who have already expressed their abhorrence for the Russian Government’s actions against its gay citizens.”

McKellen next appears in the summer blockbuster, X-Men: Days of Future Past. Watch the trailer on YouTube.
