Farrell reveals anger at bullying of gay brother

ACTOR Colin Farrell has revealed his anger about the beatings his older brother Eamon got in school for being gay.

The Dubliner claimed intolerance of people who are different is learned at home and in classrooms but, he said, hate and bullying can have fatal consequences.

Eamon Farrell married his partner Steven Mannion in Canada last summer and the couple celebrated with family and friends in Dublin just after Christmas.
