Donna, this is a great article. I’m a journalist and would be interested in getting it into a magazine for you (you’d get paid too). Email me if it’s something you’d be interested in. All the best, Lorna

What a great article! I don’t understand why gingers get so much hate. They’re just like everyone else. I’m not ginger, but my boyfriend is, which causes everyone in my school to call me “mental” for dating a ginger and finding ginger guys attractive. It’s so ridiculous! My boyfriend is one of the best people I have in my life and I find his red hair sexy

Rupert’s a great role model and I’m so happy he has given you more confidence. It would be great if he came upon this article. He’d be so touched.

Your story is so inspiring but very sad. I’m ginger and I wish I had more confidence. I don’t know that they are necessarily connected but often I felt when I was younger that the reason why I felt so isolated and alone.
I’ve heard comments by Emma Watson and other HP actors that Rupert is fairly shy but still confident. That means so much to me. It shows me what shy gingers can do.

Jim and DJ, I hate this for you. The majority of us at ICM are so attracted to redheads. We love male gingers! Some of our readers/staff members have redheaded husbands/boyfriends! So do not lose hope. You guys have beautiful hair, beautiful eyelashes and I bet on the inside you have beautiful hearts! We know Rupert does!!

I truly do hope that Rupert’s presence in Hollywood helps break the stereotypes. I can tell you that here in the US, our Verizon commercials seem to have so many gingers lately. We have hit TV shows with redheads. (“The Middle” has a gay ginger man and “Grey’s Anatomy” has Kevin McKidd, a beautiful ginger man!) The tide is turning and hopefully you guys will get to experience this change.

Nobody is destined to be lonely! Don’t think like that. I commend you guys for making it through horrible situations like that all based on something such as your hair colour. Trust me those people abusing are very unhappy lonely people inside with their own securities and so they feel they need to take it out on other folks. Stay positive!!

I’m a 25 y.o Scottish and Ginger bloke, got abuse (mostly verbal, sometimes physical) EVERY day at School and still sometimes get abuse. I agree with what Jim says above. My self Esteem is none-existant and this 10 years after leaving school. All my friend seem to get girlfriends easily but i’m always left on the shelf like i’m damaged or faulty.

Thanks for a great article.

And you have nothing to be ashamed of, you are beautiful and it’s refreshing to see someone so proud of who they are and not try to be someone they’re not!
