Radcliffe asks his fans to support gays
Potter star Daniel Radcliffe has asked his fans to offer emotional support to gay peers, who become victims of homophobic bullies. The 21-year-old actor, an active member of the Trevor Project, a non-profit group dedicated to crisis support and suicide prevention, shot a public service announcement (PSA) urging youth to “be proud” of who they are, Contactmusic reported.
The actor is upset with the death of 18-year-old Tyler Clementi, who committed suicide after his college roommate allegedly posted footage of him having sex with another man online. “We have a responsibility to be better to each other, and accept each others’ differences regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, race, ability, or religion and stand up for someone when they’re bullied. When a friend is feeling depressed or says they’re thinking of killing themselves, we must take it seriously and get them help,” the actor said.

Melting wafer works faster than Viagra
London: Suffering from impotence? You can now try out a “melting wafer” inst-ead of just popping an anti-erectile dysfunction pill, say scientists, who claim it works faster than the conventional drugs.
The wafer which is similar to breath freshener strips, melts on the tongue, say the scientists. The new treatment contains the same active ingredients as other anti-impotence pills, but in smaller molecules; these are packed into a tiny soluble strip that sits on the tongue and disappears within seconds, the Daily Mail reported.
In a pilot study, where the wafer was compared with a conventional impotence pill, the wafer released similar amounts of medicine into the bloodstream.
