Harry Potter’s Daniel Radcliffe is videotaping a public service announcement for gay suicide prevention and speaking out against homophobia. RadarOnline.com has learned.
"I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals," the 20 year old star says. "Now I am in the very fortunate position where I can actually help or do something about it."
On Friday, the superstar taped the PSA and toured the New York Call Center for the Trevor Project, the leading 24/7 suicide prevention organization for gay and questioning youth.
Daniel says his sensitivity to homophobia started at an early age. "I grew up knowing a lot of gay men and it was never something that I even thought twice about — that some men were gay and some weren't," the "Harry Potter" said Friday. "And then I went to school and (for) the first time ... I came across homophobia. ... I had never encountered it before. It shocked me.”
Radcliffe, who described himself as '”gently eccentric” and “slightly different” says "I've always felt very lucky to have the life that I've had. I never had to cope with anything serious about my religion or sexual orientation or anything like that.”
He adds "I think it's important for somebody from a big, commercial movie series like Harry Potter and particularly because I am not gay or bisexual or transgendered. ... The fact that I am straight makes not a difference, but it shows that straight people are incredibly interested and care a lot about this as well."

***”I have always _hated_ anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals,” ****
How very tolerant of him.
“I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant”
I swear, the jokes write themselves.
lol, like minds we are.... :)
You beat me to it.
Liberal tolerance = hatred for everyone who doesn’t think like they do.
“I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals”
He’s not tolerant of those with differing opinions.
Actually it's not. You're a dancing bear. Shut up and dance.
Bro, don't be hay-un.
Funny how hate is a virtue, when it comes from the left.
The liberal 10 Commandments:
1) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
2) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
3) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
4) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
5) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
6) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
7) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
8) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
9) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
10) Thou shalt tolerate all sin
I will not tolerate intolerance!
So, Daniel, not being tolerant is worse than hating someone? Son, you need to be tolerant of the intolerant, not hate them.
“’I have always hated anybody who is not tolerant of gay men or lesbians or bisexuals,’ the 20 year old star says.”
Don’t you just hate anybody that say they hate anybody?
Radcliffe, who described himself as ‘”gently eccentric” and “slightly different”
Basically, he’s saying he’s the catcher when he’s playing quiddich with his, ummm, mates.
Sadly, canard of the tolerance movement it is heralded as wisdom.
Guy shouldn’t hate anyone.
Daniel, can you define what homophobia actually is? It’s irrational hatred of someone who’s gay.
Are you a libtard that lumps EVERYONE who is not pro-homosexual into that category, or can you tolerate those of us that have RATIONAL reasons for opposing homosexuality?
And if you say there’s no rational reasons, I say, and who made you the sole decider that there are no rational reasons to oppose homosexuality? Everyone has to agree with you or else they are homophobic? That’s thinking rather highly of yourself. Dictators start out like this, they can’t tolerate anyone else having a different viewpoint than theirs.
I coin the new word for Daniel. He is a HOMOSEXUALIST. A HOMOSEXUALIST calls anyone who doesn’t support/approve of homosexuality, a homophobic.
Just like anyone who disagrees with that person about racial issues, and calls them a racist, is a RACISMIST.
SO to sum up:
RACISMIST: one who finds anyone with whom they disagree, generally on race issues, to be racist.
HOMOSEXUALIST: one who finds anyone with whom they disagree, generally on gay issues, to be homophobic.
Homo says what?
We are plenty tolerant, Potter.
We just don’t want their deviancy mainstreamed.
Similar to the moral code of the majority of civilized society, throughout 5000 years of human history.
Uhoh.. time to stop buying harry potter movies.
Really Daniel?
One word: Islam.
How is your intolerance of intolerance now?
