Eighteen-year-old actor Josh Hutcherson
of The Kids Are All Right is standing up for his gay male
friends.
Hutcherson has recorded a video for
fellow actor Avan Jogia's Straight
But Not Narrow campaign.
“So, there's a lot of gay people
talking to gay people about being gay,” Hutcherson says in the
43-second video, “but we are a group of straights. And we're here
to say we're okay with people being gay.”
“Does it really matter if your guy
friends like guys over girls? I mean, doesn't that kind of leave
more girls for you?”
“And furthermore, we're not going to
let anybody say anything bad about anyone, ever again in the history
of the world,” Hutcherson adds. (The video is embedded in the

Jogia, 19, who plays Ben Stark on
cabler Syfy's Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica and
Beck Oliver on the Nickelodeon teen sitcom Victorious, launched
his Straight But Not Narrow campaign earlier this month with a video
featuring himself.
Hutcherson's
video, which was released on Friday, has already racked up more than
9,000 views on YouTube.
