Harry Potter star says "It's wonderful" to be a gay icon
Down with the gays
Daniel Radcliffe thinks it's awesome when people think he's gay
As Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (No 6 in the series) approaches worldwide release, Daniel Radcliffe told AOL's Moviefone that he thinks it's "wonderful" that Dumbledore has become an icon for the gay rights movement, and even gets his gay friends to check websites for any mention of his sexuality.
"It's wonderful. I grew up around gay people my entire life, basically, that's possibly why I'm quite camp, and some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It's always good to keep them guessing [laughs]. I don't go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said 'Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He's got a gay face!' [laughs] I really don't know what a gay face is. But I think it's wonderful that Dumbledore was outed as gay...half of me thinks Jo Rowling just did that to see if she could piss off the right wing, but I'm not sure how true that is. I think she had it planned. I think she always knew he was gay."
