Which, as turns out, is a rather tertg topic self.Followg posive notic for his post-Potter turn The Woman Black, Kill Your Darlgs se him play gay Beat poet Allen Gsberg. ”Although Radcliffe’s gay-sex scene the film has generated a lot of buzz, that wasn’t difficult to do. In last year’s thrillg Kill Your Darlgs, Daniel Radcliffe offers his latt mmerizg performance as Allen Gsberg before he beme known as one of Ameri’s most distguished and unabashedly gay poets.

The fact that 1944 you uld lerally get away wh murr by portrayg your victim as a homosexual predator pissed me off to no end. There are sk heads nng around beatg the sh out of supposed gay people the name of social jtice and the fact that ernment officials ndone this… This movie isn’t polil. He thought there might be other gay people there.

I thk a lot of gay people n relate to that moment. I thk we’ve all had that experience the first time we as gay men and women fd our muny. Durg our terview yterday wh the star at the Waldorf Astoria Manhattan, ahead of the film’s theatril release on October 16, we asked the actor what alg wh prs so fixated on the gay aspect of the role has been like sce the film’s Sundance but January.

“And the story people want to wre is that I found weird to do a gay sex scene. They want to be say was weird to so clash wh my advocy for the gay muny, or they want to say wasn’t weird to further imply I’m gay.

* is kill your darlings gay movie *

“It’s not a gay love story, ” he add. The movie is as much a bildungsroman of Gsberg as is a pulpy per, and even manag to clu some no-nonsense gayns too. Is Lucien even gay?

" Sce so much is beg ma of the gay sex the film, we asked Radcliffe his thoughts. At no pot did any of want to do anythg that would distguish om how we would fall love wh somebody--to my knowledge, there is no difference how heterosexual and homosexual people fall love. A lot of people are quick to ask if 's a gay love story--well, y, they are gay characters, but 's jt a love relatnship between Allen [Gsberg] and Lucien [Carr], I thk is credibly universal--you meet somebody who is far more nfint, far more charismatic, and seemgly more telligent than you, and you pletely fall love wh them, and then you actually outgrow them, and they e to rent you for .
