Dan Rad Has No Tolerance For Homophobia!!!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Anglophilia > Daniel Radcliffe

danrad.jpg

Daniel Radcliffe took time out from looking hawt on the cover of UK gay mag Attitude to expres his disdain for the intolerant.

The Harry Potter star says:

“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. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.”

Amen!

A boy after our own heart!

  3. 3

    I hope hes not gay, I will be sad if he came out. lol



  4. 4

    News flash: he's not after, nor will he ever be after your empty vessel of a heart. Get over yourself.



  5. 5

    " I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that.”

    huh? so he's gay? or am I misunderstanding it?

    I did always questioned whether or not he was gay actually, so this would explain it.. but I think he's straight right?
    oh, who the hell cares, he's nice and super funny… and always great to the fans and enthuisiastic during the interviews.. unlike some people..



  6. 6

    SHUT THE FUCK UP RADCLIFFE. IF YOU'RE A SISSY JUST COME OUT. BE HARRY POTTER DON'T TRY AND FORCE PEOPLE TO ACCEPT HOMOS.



  7. 7

    so he had sex with a boy?



  8. 8


  9. 9

  10. 10

    yes vecause he is gay he will come out when harry potter last movie premier



  11. 11

    I agree. But my big question is: "What the fuck are people so 'scared' about? That someone is going to take them by force and roger them in the behind?"
    I fucking hate intolerant, ignorant people.

    I have nothing against gays but I don't believe people who "hate homophibics" really understand what homophobia is.



  13. 13

    Re: PixieCullen – Yea totally!! He respects his celebrity status!! Others shud take note!!

  14. Laury says – reply to this


    14

    Of course he loathes homophobia… He's obviously gay himself. At least he looks gay.



  15. 15

    amazing!!! so true… :)

    16

    too bad. i'm sick of all of the hypocrites who are all for gay rights yet turn out to be the most racist pieces of ****. aren't both forms of hate? until that day, i'll continue saying what i want to say and using the words i want to use.



  17. 17

    And it on a magazine cover, very much even the darling… Its very beautiful blue eyes = ***



  18. 18

    who cares.



  19. 19

    I heart Daniel Radcliffe, even though I think he's cuter with glasses. :)



  20. 20

    Love him.



  21. 21

    Well said. Homophobia has always been troulbing for me as well. I am aslo not gay.



  22. 22

    How very tolerant of Dan. "I think this way, and anyone who think otherwise has a phobia and is thick headed and scared

    You shouldn't be applauding this Perez. Being tolerant isn't accepting another person's views or lifestyles. Being tolerant is how you treat the very people you disagree with.

    Regardless of what you believe in, bashing others that don't share your belief is intolerant and falls under bigotism.

    You can't have it both ways.



  23. 23

    ..and you are a pudgy perv after his butt. Enjoy



  24. 24

    BTW the term "homophobia" is probably the most used and abused word this century.

    For example, I've seen people called "homophobs" that simply thought homosexuality was morally wrong. They had no irrational fear or dislike towards homosexuals. No more than they did heterosexuals. (Adultery and all)

    Having said that, there ARE people that have phobias of homosexuals. THEY are homophobes. People who believe homosexual sex is immoral because of religious reasons can believe what they want, and they aren't necessarily homophobic. Labeling them so makes you just as big of a hater as the people you claim to hate.

    It's ironic.

    Dontcha think?



  25. 25

    That's because he is gay. He's so gay face to begin with, I'm not surprised. If he is than cheers for him. Whatever floats his boat… (PS - In the looks department, he could never hold a candle to RPatz)



  26. 26

    if only everyone could have open hearts and open minds!!!



  27. 27

    i think this picture of him is pretty cool! x



  28. 28

    Cool.



  29. 29

    I admire that. All the stupid people who says hes gay are retarded. If someone was actually gay and in the closet, they would NOT be talking about how comfortable around gays they are and how he hates homophobia. Trust me. Hes just comfortable with himself so he can respect gay people and dislikes discrimination.



  30. 30

    Well Dan, we get it. I'm sorry but it seems like every single time he's interviewed, he brings up how he grew up around gay people and bla bla bla.

    Okay. You're not against gay people. Yeah. WE GET IT. I'm supportive of gay people as well, but don't feel the need to say it every two seconds.



  31. 31

    you know he's messed around with the boys!!! hahahahaha, luvs it!



  32. 32

    uncut smelly fore skin EEEWWWW



  33. 33

    i love him



  34. 34

    Re: dysonbry64

    What an idiotic statement. My boyfriend in college was uncut and always kept himself very clean. Just because someone is uncut does not mean they have a smelly dick.

    Re: the squirrel

    I think it'd be awsome if he turned out gay … mostly because then i'd be able to snag him XD LOL! :)

    Re: putthekoolaiddown27 – Yeah, we should. :D



  37. 37

    hes not gay people

    Re: britbrit – thats what i was wondering!



  40. 40

    Re: PixieCullen – Your obsession is adorable!! I love it!



  41. 41

    you go boy



  42. 42

    aww he is such a good person! i love him! but i have to admit that i am a bit homophobic but my best friend happen to be a lesbian



  43. 43

    besides he grew up in england people there think different as americans about homosexuality



  44. 44

    I think/hope he met that he grew up around gay people not that he kissed a guy. Id be sad if he were gay he seems like a sweetie.



  45. 45

    HE TRYING TOO HARD TO LOOK FEMININE!



  46. 46

    I think homo-sex is gross. but homos probably feel the same about straight sex. Pushing gay on people isnt helping anything. I dont disagree with homos, I just find it gross. Theres nothing anyone can say or do to make me feel different.Theres nothing wrong with it…just like some people dont think over weight men/women are attractive.thats why its called sexual preference. if you dont prefer it, you dont have to like it. but at the same time, it doesnt matter what you do or dont like b.c its not anyone's business. so in other words, who the fuck cares who you fuck. I know the majority and me dont. Do what you want geezus. Stop worrying about others agreeing with you or not. Tolerance is tolerating something..not necessarily embracing it. Same w. religion,politics,etc…everyone just needs to stop pushing their lifestyle on everyone else..that goes for straights and gays.



  47. 47

    YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL!



  48. 48

    The English are more tolerant. I find Americans fear anyone not like them. Homophobics are just ignorant people who are fearful and have narrow minds. Just like people who are racist or sexist. America is full of the ist people - closed minded and fearful.



  49. 49

    Good for him:)



  50. 50

    If you are on Perez Hilton and don't have an open mind you're in the wrong place. I'm here for a reason I support this site and it's all in the family. Does not bother me one bit! And I have friends we are who they are. They are great I could not do without them. Last month I had a death in the family. When I return back to town a few did some very nice things for me. I will always be grateful. Stop the hate! Bravo young Daniel!! Bravo!

    Re: KOOL KID – Kool kid you rock! I know your story from waay last year. Bravo to you too! Kisses! On the cheeks!

  53. 53

    Why would a homo NOT be disgusted w/ homoPHOBIA??



  54. 54

    ugh..



  55. 55

    Good for Dan for taking a stand!



  56. 56

    now we know what he does with that magic wand.

    Re: Paris France – i'm not a homophobe cause i disagree in the current ways the gays are going. i'm not homophobe cause i disagree with one single person (perez) - will you (all) ever get it?
    and will harry potter ever get it? but hey - he's young - i have been that dumb in that age, too.



  58. 58

    The world needs more people like Daniel. Europeans seem to be so much more tolerant towards gays than in the US. I'm glad Norway isn't as old fashioned and conservative. We (and you US!) need to evolve and start killing discrimination. I absolutely adore Daniel Radcliffe.



  59. 59

    I really like the harry potter cast in the personality department… but they have zero talent. and daniel turned out really weird looking… such a shame, he was such a cute kid. oh well, at least he is really rich :P



  60. 60

    well said Daniel. Homophobes r all narrow minded haters.
    the world needs more tollerance



  61. 61

    Either heterosexually or homosexually, anal sex is dangerous, unhygienic, and just plain disgusting.
    Not to mention gay people, especially men, tend to be very promiscuous.
    Hence, gay people disgust me.
    .
    It has nothing to do with ignorance nor tolerance, man on man sex is disgusting on all levels. And lezbos dyking out isn't much better.
    .
    The more you gays try to force ur PC agenda down out throats, the more hatred you breed. keep going.



  62. 62

    HE is actually so hot on this cover! I love him in general anyways, but this cover is phwoarr. And totally agree with what he said.



  63. 63

    Re: Megan Fox Before Nose and Lip Surgery – there's a special place in hell for people like you. p.s. you look nothing like megan fox.

    have a lovely day.

    Re: latinafantastica
    the fact that you believe in hell says a lot about you…
    have a nice day



  65. 65

    looks like elijah wood, why-??!!?!

    Re: Nostradamus – That's the most childish and spiteful comment I've read today. Grow up!



  67. 67

    i hope he isnt gay it would be very sad all the good ones are going gay one more would be one to many not tat i have anything agaisnt gaays still sad



  68. 68

    i love him so much. he's just amazing :)



  69. 69

    I don't believe in hating anyone. By saying that you hate somebody for hating another group of people with differing viewpoints is still hatred. Eliminate hatred. Accept people who think differently than you, and know that they may have a reason for their feelings…whether you agree or not. STOP HATE…of everyone.



  70. 70

    Please use spell check

  75. 75

    he looks absolutely gorgeous, my jaw just dropped [swoon]



  76. 76

    Not after your heart Perez! He is just a nice guy promoting equality. You are a jackass that says mean things about anyone that happens to be straight. I am betting within a week you will make some rude comment about Radcliffe's looks, speech or some other thing. But since he said something nice about gay people…today he is your hero.



  77. 77

    Dont tell my is a GAY !!!! PLEASE NO…is a joke Everyone know that. Is good but get out of your placard sir !!! Affirm you ! loll

    infostroisrivieres.com



  78. 78

    Good for Dan! He's such a genuinely sweet guy!



  79. 79

    My Perezcious is not homophobic in the slightest. He is, however, Will.I.Am-phobic and with good reason I might add.

  82. 82

    Re: Nostradamus – COMPLETELY agree. what you said isn't "childish" or "ignorant" at all. one of the smartest comments on this topic. it's so true.



  83. 83

    very nice, but I hope he isn;t gay himself..



  84. 84

    Re: Nostradamus – the fact that you believe in hell says a lot about you…

    the fact you attacked her for believing such a thing, says a lot about YOU. You're just as big of a bigot as those you claim to dislike.

    Shame.



  85. 85

    Re: Office Drone – LOL. true true.



  86. 86

    The sentiments are right on, but that photo is aweful!



  87. 87

    LOVE HIM XD



  88. 88

    Does Daniel Radcliffe know about your use of gay hate slurs?



  89. 89

    anal sex is the only way i get off…and its none of anyones business to comment on…so i'll continue it because the orgasm is out of this effin world!!!



  90. 90

    Re: Nostradamus – Shows how much u know about sex ever heard of a condom??! maybe u should stop thinking about gay men having sex and start getting laid yourself. Oh yea honey sex is supposed 2 be dirty :)



  91. 91

    so he's gay? or bi?



  92. 92

    EXPERIENCE OF HOMOSEXUALITY!!!! So…he's been with a dude? So he's gay? Well even if he is,I wouldn't care.



  93. 93

    ya! so with you daniel! who cares if you like girls or guys! some of the awesoemist people ever are homosxual like ellen degeneres or lady gaga!



  94. 94

    Re: rubysoho

    You are totally speaking the truth about pushing someones beliefs and thoughts onto someone else. No one is going to completely agree about a topic so who cares.



  95. 95

    he is gay…



  96. 96

    o no! is he gay?? o please god no!



  97. 97

    No, he's not gay…He just hates intolerance. I do too. What he meant by he grew up around homosexuality, that means someone in his fam was gay…who cares? I'm not gay and I know what he means. my gay uncle was really cool and made me see a good side to gay people.



  98. 98

    Is Dan Rad coming out of the Broom Closet, or just being a big tease??



  99. 99

    Love Dan!!! He's awesome! And he's NOT gay! I knew that people would automatically jumped to that conclusion.

    Dan's just smart enough to Know that everyone deserves respect and the same rights regardless of their sexuality, race, gender, sex, or social class. And I COMPLETELY agree! :D



  100. 100

    I love him!
