And now, in a new interview, he points out that his ideals collided when he saw that not all people from this minority community received much support.
Here is his comment:
When I felt like I needed to say something was, especially since I finished ‘Potter’, I’ve met a lot of queer and trans kids and young people who had a lot of identities. And seeing them hurt that day, I thought I wanted them to know that not everyone in the franchise feels that way. And that was really important.

The letter is posted on the website The Trevor ProjectAn organization that operates the world’s largest suicide prevention hotline for young people LGBTQ+.
