Daniel Radcliffe Doesn't Mind Gay Sex Scenes

I'm pretty impressed with Daniel Radcliffe lately. He has made previous comments about having no problem with having transgender friends and now he says he is not bothered at all with his gay love scenes in his new movie. He is in New York filming Kill Your Darlings and he seems to have no issues playing a queer characterl:

There was no discomfort. There have been moments when Dane, the object of my affection in the film, and I did start giggling.

Cyndi Lauper Housing LGBT Youth

Cyndi Lauper is getting ready for the opening of New York's True Colors Residence in Harlem, a "permanent, supportive housing facility for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth." Lauper has done a great deal of work for support and awareness of LGBT issues, including the "I Give a Damn" Campaign. A sample of her message regarding True Colors Residence:

In New York City, a very disproportionate number (up to 40%), of homeless youth identify as LGBT. Even more disturbing are reports that these young people often face discrimination and at times physical assault in some of the very places they have to for help. This is shocking and inexcusable!

The brand new facility is aimed at helping LGBT youth aged 18-24 by providing a safe space, some community support and rent that varies by income. It's scheduled to open September 1.

Sean Avery Is On Our Team

Sean Avery (who is a forward for the Rangers for those who know as little about sports as I do) made this video clip in support of equal marriage rights in New York. Avery is one of the few professional athletes out there who has openly supported equal marriage rights, and consequently is now my favorite hockey player.

So the USA may be a little bhind as a whole, but parts of it are getting better and better all the time. Even Iowa is getting close to giving human beings human rights. But I'd still rather go to New York.
