Lady Gaga's support of gay rights has won the praise of Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe.

The singer has been an outspoken campaigner for equality.

Last year, she called on the US government to repeal laws that prevent gays and lesbians from openly serving in the military.

Radcliffe, who is a long-standing advocate of gay rights, told MTV News he admired Lady Gaga's efforts.

"She's very outspoken as well, and it's just about being who you were born as," he said.

"It's wonderful that other people are coming out from all different spectrums. I mean, she has a slightly more flamboyant way of putting her point across than I would, and it suits her a lot better than it would me. But we're both aiming for the same thing."

Lady Gaga is currently preparing to release her new album 'Born This Way' next month.
