lol your gay face

On any other day, this probably would have been the Quote of the Day (emphasis original):

Q: How do you feel about Dumbledore becoming somewhat of an icon for the gay rights movement?

Daniel Radcliffe: 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.

Random Aside: I like Daniel Radcliffe a lot, even though I don't particularly care for the Harry Potter series—although everyone else around me does, including Iain and Mama and Papa Shakes, and, you know, zillions of book sales, so, believe me, I realize I've the odd palate on this one. I've not read the books (I started the first but wasn't keen on it) although I have been dragged to see all the movies with Iain and my parents, and [spoiler warning!] every time they love to laugh at my indignant exasperation that the culprit is always the same: "Oh, well, fuck me, it's the dark arts teacher again! Who'da thunk it?!"

Recently, Iain and I had this email exchange when I sent him the link to another interview with Radcliffe:

Liss: I don't like Harry Potter, but I like the kid who plays him!

Iain: He's a cool kid. Are you awaiting the Half Blood Prince with even keener anticipation?

Me: Nope!

Iain: LOL! SPOILER WARNING: The Dark Arts teacher did it.
