Video: Daniel Radcliffe to receive Trevor Project Hero Award for LGBTQ advocacy
Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe, a great advocate of The Trevor Project, will be honoured for his contribution and inspiration to LGBTQ youths in dire straits with the Hero Award at a ceremony in New York City this June, according to the Associated Press. "The Trevor Hero Award, announced Monday, recognizes a person who serves as an inspiration to sexual minority youths and increases visibility and understanding of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning, or LGBTQ, community."
UPDATE: A short new interview clip with Dan was released by the AP on his receiving the honour, and can be viewed below.
Dan had this to say on receiving the honour:
Quote:
"It's fantastic," Radcliffe told. "The fact that they think of what I've done by promoting awareness of the Trevor Project itself and the issues that it works to promote and help is a great honor."
"The people that are doing the heroic things are the people answering phones 24 hours a day in the Trevor call centers," he said. "I think that out of everything that I've done so far in my career, I think this is absolutely one of the most important, if not the most important, thing that I'm associated with."
Radcliffe, currently appearing in the Broadway revival of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying," says audience members often acknowledge his work with the organization.
"I meet people at the stage door every night that thank me for what I'm doing with the Trevor project," he said proudly.
We will have much more on Dan's honour and ceremony in June. Many congratulations to Dan for a well-deserved honour!

... That's amazing. He deserves it. No one should ever be penalized for who they love and I'm in a very happy straight relationship and I still believe that.
This is such an incredible organization to work with and I'm so proud that he's getting recognized for it. He's really deserving of it. Congratulations Dan!

Congrats to Dan! I love how he said that the heroic people are the ones who are behind the phone 24/7 answering phone calls. Shows how humble and awesome he really is.
