Daniel Radcliffe Hates Homophobia

July 28th, 2009

“I just loathe homophobia. It’s just disgusting and animal and stupid and it’s just thick people who can’t get their heads around it and are just scared… I grew up around gay people entirely… .”

These words came from the mouth of Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe in the latest issue of Attitude Magazine.

Irish President Mary McAleese recentlyurged young people (in Ireland) to stand up against homophobic bullying:

“Celebrating and respecting diversity among young people is at the heart of this important forum. Homophobic bullying continues to be a society-wide issue, including in our schools and the link between it and suicide sends a clear message that this trend must be reversed,” she said.

“By working together, by standing up for the democratic values that we share, by refusing to go along with loudly-voiced prejudices, we can overcome the bias and hostility experienced by many young gay people throughout the country. No-one should have to suffer on account of their sexual orientation.”

The eight and current president of Ireland said these words at a conference organised by BeLonG To, a social and support group for young people between the ages of 14 and 23.

Now that’s what I call supportive mom!
