More reasons to like Daniel Radcliffe


Daniel Radcliffe is something rare in Hollywood these days: a collected, professional and good dude. His latest charitable act? A large donation of an undisclosed amount of money to the Trevor Project, a non-profit suicide prevention service for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender teens. Radcliffe had this to say about his decision:

"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. 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."

He's so eloquent and awesome. High five, Daniel. He's been pretty outspoken about his intolerance for homophobia, and now he's putting his cheque book where his mouth is to help others
