HOLLYWOOD, CA – The legendary actor who is best known for his roles as Gandalf in Harry Potter and Magneto in the X-Men franchise, Sir Ian McKellen, opened up about how he feels about the “Un-American” attitude of president Donald Trump on not following through on his campaign pledge to protect LGBTQ rights.

To show proof of this, neither The White House or President Trump through tweet, have acknowledge LGBT Pride Month and recently rolled back an Executive Order signed by former president Barack Obama providing LGBT workplace protections.

Under Executive Order 13673, which was issued by president Obama in 2014, stated that companies receiving federal contracts in excess of half a million dollars were required to demonstrate they had complied with a set of 15 federal or state labor laws over the previous three years; several of those laws offered critical protections for LGBTQ workers.

Well President Trump has once again proven that he cannot be trust because in March, the president issued the following Executive Order which states that the following:

Section 1. Revocation. Executive Order 13673 of July 31, 2014, section 3 of Executive Order 13683 of December 11, 2014, and Executive Order 13738 of August 23, 2016, are revoked.

When asked by Variety at the Cannes Lions advertising conference in France about president Trump’s record so far on gay rights and his decision to rescind protections for LGBT youth, Sir Ian McKellen said the following:

“If what you’re saying is true, it’s appalling and quite unnecessary and very un-American. The gay rights movement began in America. It began in San Francisco, it began in Stonewall, the city where Donald Trump was born and thrived.”

The actor added that he “can’t follow Mr. Trump. I don’t always understand what he says and when I do, I have to admit later that I got it wrong because he changed his mind or changed his mind about what he said. He’s a very bad communicator, at least to me. Get more straightforward, Donald. And then we can take you seriously.”

Sir Ian McKellen was in attendance at the conference to solicit short films that re-imagine iconic characters as gay.

“I wouldn’t say the films coming out of the mainstream are quite as related to what’s going on in the real world as I would like them to be,” said McKellen. “One indication of that is LGBT people don’t really get quite a big enough say. If you’re one of those initials yourself, you do notice that actually these movies are not about me at all.” said McKellen.
