Harry Potter casts spell against gay teen suicide

[tko_ak]

It isn't a surprise that entertainers tend to be more liberal and gay-friendly, or that younger generations tend to be. Nor is it news that Daniel Radcliffe is gay-affirming. But he made news today because he made a major contribution to the Trevor Project, which is a 24/7 hot line for LGBT teens who are contemplating suicide.

wait, since when is daniel radcliffe out as queer?

[tko_ak]

He isn't. Since when do you have to be gay to give money to a cause that works to prevent suicide in young people?

[ennifer_jay]

He's not. He's just very supporting of LGBTQ rights.

A quote by him: "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."

Then Nor is it news that Daniel Radcliffe is gay=affirming. ? What?

[tko_ak]

It's another way of saying he's gay-friendly. That he affirms the worth and beauty of love regardless of the genders of those involved.

people used to say "gay-accepting" a lot, but affirming is more positive whereas accepting can sound like "I don't necessarily like it, but I will accept it"
