Thought LGBT might be interested in this article. Dan Radcliffe talks about gay sex and homophobia.? Yeah I don't have a question, but thought some of you might be interested in hearing about Dan Radcliffe (Equus, Harry Potter, December Boys) and the interview he did with Attitude magazine (a UK gay magazine).
You can find scans and read the full interview here:

Here are some highlights:
"I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only guy in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that. My dad was an agent and represented Jonathan Harvey who wrote Beautfiul Things so I grew up knowing Jonathan and his partner and it was just never an issue...It suddenly became very weird for me to have people around me that were homophobic."
"I don't think they [his parents] ever sat me down, because it was just so normal to us. That was our friend Mark and Mark goes out with men not women."
"Then, there is all this stuff at the moment, which is hateful, about people being up in arms about the idea of gay sex education in schools. Hello!?! Actually, for one or two gays guys in the class, it's ******* vital!"
"I am actually quite passionate about this. I loate homophobia. It's just disgusting and animal and stupid and it's just thick people who can't get their heads around and it are just scared."
Just thought it was an interesting article and really gives hope. It's nice to see a young straight famous guy speaking out so much in favor of homosexuality. The article also talks about the fundraising efforts for AIDS that Broadway does and Dan's participation as a member of Equus.
Hope you enjoy the read and let me know what you think. | | Wow, thats awesome to see him beyond his character in HP. He is definitely very mature and wise for his age. The guys who I see in my college dorm are incredible with making homophobic and racist comments, its horrible. Hopefully he can be a role model and encourage people to know that there is nothing wrong with being gay, and that you dont have to be gay to believe that. | Guy wants to cuddle and bond without gay sex ... ? I've met a great guy - handsome, manly, intelligent and sexy - and I think he likes me too!!! The problem is that he does want to spend time with me - going places (art gallery, football matches, nightclubs, movies, concerts), at home, dinner etc. But he says he's not gay - he likes me as a close friend and brother. He hugs me a lot and says he loves me (but always with that additional "bro"). We have spent time cuddling in bed and on the sofa but nothing sexual (even though Im tingling with desire). What gives? Is he gay or straight? What should I do? Im liable to explode and try something. So far I've stopped myself bcos I dont want to spoil things. | If he says that he is not gay than he is not gay. He's probably the nice brotherly types of guy. They are not easy to find and I'm sure your friend is a keeper.
I won't try anything although I would kiss him on the cheek if he did something nice for me. Just a peck and say thank you:) Than say, "I'm so sorry, I didn't meant to do that." " I hope you won't feel weird it's just a kiss of friendship, I don't mean anything with that kiss."
On the couch when you guys are cuddling, do the same thing, kiss on the cheek and say: "thank you so much for being my friend:) You are such a good person I'm rally happy to have you as my friend:)" Always include, "I'm sorry I did that, I hope you won't feel weird." The kiss was a friendship kiss, it was not meant to be something weird."
If you feel like he don't like it, you can stop but I have a feeling that he won't mind since he don't mind cuddling:)
Just start with something like that and soon he will kiss you back too and soon it will become regular too, you guys will kiss when you guys part, when you guys cuddle, when you guys do something nice for one another ect:)
And hey, if he is in the closet, maybe next time when you guys kiss, he might just go in for a french or something and maybe more lol!!
I don't really think that there is something wrong with kissing though, even between guys. When you love someone(not necessarily romantic love) you kiss them:)
God I wish I have a friend like yours.
Good luck!!!:) | Gay men and lesbian women, would you feel comfortable or uncomfortable deeply kissing the opposite sex? I have heard of a few gay actors who also like to play straight characters as well, which usually involves kissing the opposite sex as well (even though they are not attracted to the opposite sex).
I have a gay coworker who feels a bit "yechy" about kissing the opposite sex, and I have heard some lesbian women feel grossed out by kissing men. Though some do not feel uncomfortable/feel fine with it.

justjared.buzznet.com/photo-galle… | | I'm perfectly comfortable kissing either gender. I love to kiss, and sad to say, a lot of women are better at it than most men. Guys do tend to make up for that small lack by being better at other things with their mouths though. | Lesbian women and gay men, do you ever find the opposite sex attractive/nice to look at? I am not asking if you are romantically/sexually attracted to them, but do you ever feel drawn to or admire the opposite sex in beauty/aesthetic/other means?

I think it is innate to be able to recognize beauty in the human form, be it male or female.
Looking at your examples.
gay1: Beautiful, love the dark eyes
gay2: Innocent face and my favorite female pose is with the back showing
gay3: My least favorite, she looks disproportionate.
I don't feel drawn or attracted to them.
Of the Lesbian examples, I like Heath Ledger's picture the best | Gay and lesbian persons, do you find the opposite sex aesthetically nice to look at or do you feel indifferent? Gay and lesbian persons, do you find good looking members of the opposite sex aesthetically nice to look at (admiring a good looking person or statue/painting, even if you are not sexually or romantically attracted)
or do you feel indifferent (don't really admire or like, does nothing for you) at looking?

www.emmy-online.org/gallery/displ… | | I can say when a woman is good looking but I'm going to go for the guys every time. | Why are the hot guys always turn up to be GAY? Seriously, it makes me happy. I know it is because we generally take care of ourselves more than straight guys would, although not exclusively.
Well do we tend to take care of ourselves more because there is more sexual tension? Could it be an indication that gay people are more inclined to act on their urges or something like that? I'm not saying that gay people are sex centered but I can observe that as a gay guy myself, that we're like the hornier counterpart of straight boys.
Example:
My brother's girlfriend has a gay brother, he and this really gorgeous guy dated before:

He's name is Brandon Stoughton, and he was in Britney's Womanizer.
I mean according to my brother he is incredibly good looking but is "such a princess". | Well, there was a (controversial) study done that found that gay men are half as likely as straight men to be overweight, and that lesbians are twice as likely as straight women to be overweight. The supposed explanation is that since men want an attractive partner, gay men and straight women work harder to impress, while women are more interested in personality so straight men and lesbians aren't as concerned with body figure because they don't necessarily need it to impress.

But outside of weight factors, sometimes attractiveness is just random and not related to sexuality, though that guy is hot. Grrr....
-Alika613 | Would some people call this being gay...? I'm male but I prefer guys who look feminine or outright female.
And I prefer girls who look masculine or can be mistaken for men.
The peanut gallery says:
Since I like girly guys, the fact that I am attracted to those guys makes me gay.
But even though I like girls too, I prefer the ones who look like guys so that also makes me gay.
Well if this is being gay, then I must be gay. But I disagree, I am pansexual so gender and what people have between their legs is irrelevant to me.
I just happen to find people who look like the opposite sex appealing (this is not being gay).
If I was simply gay, I would ONLY like men and not ones who look feminine.
I am just confused by the people who adhere to the double standard opinion of crossdressers / transpeople and any guy attracted to them must be gay. | | I respect that.

news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090407/ap_o…
By DAVE GRAM, Associated Press Writer Dave Gram, Associated Press Writer – 2 hrs 1 min ago
MONTPELIER, Vt. – Vermont on Tuesday became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature's vote.
The House recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto. Its vote followed a much easier override vote in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.
Vermont was the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex couples and joins Connecticut, Massachusetts and Iowa in giving gays the right to marry. Their approval of gay marriage came from the courts.
Tuesday morning's legislative action came less than a day after Douglas issued a veto message saying the bill would not improve the lot of gay and lesbian couples because it still would not provide them rights under federal and other states' laws.
Douglas called override "not unexpected." He had called the issue of gay marriage a distraction during a time when economic and budget issues were more important.
"What really disappoints me is that we have spent some time on an issue during which another thousand Vermonters have lost their jobs," the governor said Tuesday. "We need to turn out attention to balancing a budget without raising taxes, growing the economy, putting more people to work."
House Speaker Shap Smith's announcement of the vote brought an outburst of jubilation from some of the hundreds packed into the gallery and the lobby outside the House chamber, despite the speaker's admonishment against such displays.
Among the celebrants in the lobby were former Rep. Robert Dostis, D-Waterbury, and his longtime partner, Chuck Kletecka. Dostis recalled efforts to expand gay rights dating to an anti-discrimination law passed in 1992.
"It's been a very long battle. It's been almost 20 years to get to this point," Dostis said. "I think finally, most people in Vermont understand that we're a couple like any other couple. We're as good and as bad as any other group of people. And now I think we have a chance to prove ourselves here on forward that we're good members of our community."
Dostis said he and Kletecka will celebrate their 25th year together in September.
"Is that a proposal?" Kletecka asked.
"Yeah," Dostis replied. "Twenty-five years together, I think it's time we finally got married."
Craig Bensen, a gay marriage opponent who had lobbied unsuccessfully for a nonbinding referendum on the question, said he was disappointed but believed gay marriage opponents were outspent by supporters by a 20-1 margin.
"The other side had a highly funded, extremely well-oiled machine with all the political leadership except the governor pushing to make this happen," he said. "The fact that it came down to this tight a vote is really astounding."
Also in the crowd was Michael Feiner, a farmer from Roxbury and gay marriage supporter, who took a break from collecting sap for maple syrup-making to come to the Statehouse.
"I'm taking a break to come and basically make sure that I was here to witness history," he said.
The House had initially approved the bill last week with a 95-52 vote. Smith and his leadership team worked through the weekend to try to persuade some legislators to change their minds.
One who did was first-term Rep. Jeff Young, D-St. Albans. He said he continued to be philosophically opposed to gay marriage, but decided that voting with his fellow Democrats would help him be an effective legislator in the future.
"You realize that, you know, it's a poker game in some ways," Young said. "Chips on the table. I'm a freshman. I have no chips. If I ... had 20 years of chips, I probably could play any card I want. I don't have that option."
He added, "It's the way the political game is played." | | Gay marriage doesn't affect my life in any way ...so I really don't care .. and I live in Connecticut. |
