The public isn't adjusting too well to Daniel Radcliffe (best known for his role as Harry Potter in the teenage saga) playing a homosexual character in the movie "Kill Your Darlings," but the actor, who is a long time supporter of gay rights, sees nothing wrong with it.

"Kill Your Darlings" is about a murder in 1944 that draws three great poets together: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs. In the film, Radcliffe participates in a gay love scene as he incarnates Ginsburg.

This isn't the first time the "Harry Potter" star plays a controversial role. From 2007 to 2009 the actor performed as Alan Strang in "Equus," a play about a deranged boy who has a pathological fascination with horses. In the play, Radcliffe appeared completely nude.

Radcliffe has been a long time supporter of gay rights, and has worked closely with the Trevor Project, a national organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention serviced to the LGBT community.
