Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson Activist for Gay Rights
















Hunger Games star Josh Hutcherson had two uncles he never got to know. Both men were gay and died from AIDS during the height of the epidemic…

"They were in their early thirties, in great shape, but unfortunately they were taken away from us too soon,". "Both passed away at about the time I was born."

But they have never been forgotten.

Hutcherson has become one of Hollywood's most outspoken supporters in the fight for gay equal rights. He works closely with Straight But Not Narrow, a group started by his best friend, Victorious star Avan Jogia.

"My mom has always been a big advocate, especially in the gay, lesbian, transsexual and bisexual community so for me it's always been a part of my soul," Hutcherson says.
