| | |  New Dan Radcliffe cover photo & interview in Attitude magazine
Daniel Radcliffe has been featured in the newest issue of Attitude magazine, in which he talks about sexuality and politics, amongst other things. The cover and a small preview have been released by the Sun, which can be seen below: 
On his thoughts about homophobia in the world: Quote:
"I just loathe homophobia. It's just disgusting and animal and stupid and it's just thick people who can't get their heads around it and are just scared.
"I grew up around gay people entirely. I was the only child in my class who had any experience of homosexuality or anything like that."
Dan admits that he is very adamantly a liberal democrat, and lambastes the opposing parties: Quote:
"I rather like Nick Clegg. At the next election I will almost certainly vote Lib Dem.
"If all the people who liked them voted for them you could change politics overnight and we could have a proper three party system."
Asked about Gordon Brown he said: "Paul Merton said, and I agree with him, 'it's a tragedy that this man has waited all his life to do this job - and now he finds out he can't do it.'
"I don't like the New Labour thing. I never experienced the optimism of New Labour, I was too young but I hear everyone was up and it was fantastic. I've only seen the bad years of it."
Radcliffe's opinion on David Cameron is no more positive.
He raged: "No! No, no, no, no, no! David Cameron is barely distinguishable from Tony Blair."
He added: "I think the reason why people don't vote is because the politicians are all so central now, it doesn't seem to matter who you vote for."
He also blasted the BNP who won two seats in the recent Euro elections, saying: "I hate any type of prejudice."
If anyone has a copy of Dan's interview, please feel free to send it in.  | |

Im grateful that Dan doesnt have homophobia. My entire family goes insane if I stand up for gay ppl...had loads of fights with them during the US election for Prop 8. Anyways, my views are the exact same...its digusting the way they treat ppl like that.

Dan's so awesome! I completely agree with him about homophobia. It's ridiculous. Everyone deserves respect and everyone should have the same rights regardless of their sexuality, race, or gender.
I think me and him are one in the same when it comes to politics too.
Marry me, Dan!  | |

I'm glad to hear him speaking for what he believes. He doesn't seem to care what his opinion is, and he shouldn't.

^ If he's always saying what he feels, though, he could get into trouble for that one day. I do love that he doesn't seem to be afraid of that, though.  He has very interesting views and opinions on everything.

I agree with him on the whole 'homophobia' thing. I don't understand why people are so completely freaked out about it. It's not like they're a threat to anyone or anything. Why should we bash them because they're different?

Wow, I'm kinda impressed. Good for Dan's not being ashamed of what he thinks. I agree fully about the three-party system, though. It's definitely the same on the other side of the "pond", Mr. Radcliffe.
Not such a great picture of him, though. I like the look in his eyes but the hair is a no go for me. That's just my opinion, though.
I'd love to read this entire interview, I think.

I'm completely 180 degrees from Dan on his political views, but hey, they're his views, more power to him for not being afraid to speak his mind!
