Daniel Radcliffe: Gay and Lesbian Helpline Supporter
Continuing to support efforts close to his heart, Daniel Radcliffe has made a substantial donation to the Trevor Project – which aims at helping suicidal gay men and women.
Radcliffe tells, “I am very pleased to begin my support of The Trevor Project, which saves lives every day through its critical work.”
“It’s extremely distressing to consider that in 2009 suicide is a top three killer of young people, and it’s truly devastating to learn that LGBTQ youth are up to four times more likely to attempt suicide than their heterosexual peers,” Radcliffe added.
The “Harry Potter” hunk continues, “I deeply hope my support can raise the organization’s visibility so even more despondent youth become aware of The Trevor Helpline’s highly trained counselors and Trevor’s many other resources. It’s vitally important that young people understand they are not alone and, perhaps even more important, that their young lives have real value.”
