Hollywood star Colin Farrell Stands Up!
Hollywood actor Colin Farrell has come on board to support Stand Up! Don’t Stand for Homophobic Bullying, the campaign launched last Friday by BeLonG To- the Irish LGBT youth organisation.
The Stand Up! Campaign calls on everyone, gay and straight, to support each other in taking a stand against homophobic bullying. It includes an interactive video ad which has become international online phenomenon – www.standup.ie.
Colin and his brother Eamon have been championing BeLonG To’s work to combat homophobic bullying in Ireland for a number of years now. Eamon, a gay man, has recalled how he was terribly and violently bullied in school and Colin has talked about how devastating it was to witness his brother being discriminated against as a child, Belong To reports.
