Daniel Radcliffe Voices His Views On Homophobia In ‘Attitude’ Magazine

Posted on 24 July 2009 by Tammy Cakes

daniel-radcliffe-attitude-magazine-homophobiaDaniel Radcliffe is on the cover of Attitude magazine and he took this opportunity to voices his views on homophobia.

Rumors were spreading last week that the Harry Potter actor was gay. Instead of being upset and immediately trying to prove to people that he wasn’t, Daniel surprised us all with saying that he was thrilled to be mistaken for a gay man.

He told Moviefone, “It’s wonderful. I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that’s possibly why I’m quite camp, and some people think I’m gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome.”

“It’s always good to keep them guessing. I don’t go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said ‘Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He’s got a gay face!’”

In Daniel’s recent interview with Attitude magazine, the Harry Potter star discussed the gay topic again saying that homophobia is “just disgusting and animal and stupid and it’s just thick people who can’t get their heads around it and are just scared.”

The 20-year-old credits his parents’ circle of gay friends for teaching him the importance of acceptance at a young age. “I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that,” Daniel explains.

Bruno Bares It All On The Cover Of Attitude Magazine

Ok, if you thought that Sacha Baron Cohen being nude on the cover of GQ was nauseating, well than be prepared for Sacha on the cover of Attitude. It took me a couple seconds to realize that Sacha was not the only one naked on this cover. The cover looks a little more artsy when you look at it closer.

The Bruno star appears on the cover of Attitude this month following accusations from some sections of the gay community that his character promotes rather than satirizes homophobia.

The photograph appears under the tag line: ‘Comedy genius of the most homophobic film ever made?’

Bruno has some people in the gay community on edge with the offensive comments and accusations made by the Bruno character.

Rashad Robinson, of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, said last month:

Some people in our community may like this movie, but many are not going to be OK with it.”

Actor Peter Paige, from US TV series Queer As Folk, echoed the sentiment, saying:

‘When you see a Bruno clip in a room full of gay men, everyone laughs and it’s fine. Sacha Baron Cohen’s well-meaning attempt at satire is problematic in many places and outright offensive in others.’

Claims were made that producers were forced to undertake ’significant re-shoots’ after preview audiences reacted angrily to the film.

Universal Pictures declined to confirm or deny the reports but in a statement, the studio said the ‘overwhelming majority of the audience’ would understand that the film seeks to lampoon homophobia.
