Radcliffe Films Gay Teen Suicide Prevention PSA

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe filmed a public service announcement on Friday for The Trevor Project, an organization focused on preventing suicide among gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered adolescents through a 24-hour helpline service.

Radcliffe explained that because his parents were both actors, he was raised around many gay people and felt that he was in a unique position to speak out. “Straight people are incredibly interested and care a lot about [gay suicide prevention] as well,” Radcliffe said. The PSA is set to air this spring.

The Trevor Project was founded in the late ’90s by three filmmakers responsible for the 1994 Academy Award winning Trevor, a tragicomic short film about a gay 13-year-old boy that attempts suicide. It is currently the only American organization that offers a round-the-clock helpline for troubled LGBTQ youth. –AHMED MORI
