PotterWatch (4 of 77): The Trevor Project

"Don't kill yourself, because if you do, you won't be able to see the epic conclusion of my movie series." Daniel Radcliffe could've easily said that, and this PSA would still keep people from killing themselves. This post is kind of a departure from the norm, but it's warranted because of a worthy cause. "The Trevor Project is the leading national organization focused on crisis and suicide prevention efforts among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth", as Daniel Radcliffe points out to us.

You know what homosexual character essentially killed himself? Dumbledore, but for different reasons than the every day ones. Still you can imagine the dread he would feel if anybody found out that he was in love with Grindelwald. I'm a geek who reads too much into things because I care about it. Ultimately Daniel Radcliffe's appearance is inspiring, and will likely allow more people to be aware of the efforts of The Trevor Project. Personally, I'd never heard of it before the PSA, but now I'll definitely take a look at whatever they've done.

And if you're one of those listed people who are "feeling helpless or hopeless", or if you're just interested to see what Dan's sticking his neck out for, take a look below. Also, please don't kill me for sticking my neck out for good people.
