Daniel Radcliffe Supports LGBT Youth
Daniel Radcliffe (20-Year-old)—known for the ‘boy who lived’ in the block buster movie Harry Potter has surprised the Bisexual, Lesbian, Gay and Transsexual (BLGT) community—by coming out for kids and teens who are at risk of suicide. In a bold move, Daniel has donated a large undisclosed among of his money to The Trevor Foundation.
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.
In a statement regarding why he is supporting the Trevor Foundation, Daniel stated, “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.”
The Trevor Foundation is nationwide suicide prevention helpline that supports at risk youth—24/7 days a week. The Trevor Project also provides online support via their Website, mentors and educational resources.
