Rose McGowan: Sorry for Anti-Gay Rant

“More misogynistic” than straight men.

After a tirade directed at gay men while speaking about protesting the Beverly Hills Hotel, actress Rose McGowan has apologized for comments directed at gay men. “I made a dumb generalization, and for that I apologize. For everything else I said, no, I will not,” she wrote. During a podcast about the boycott of the hotel owned by the Sultan of Brunei, McGowan declared the protest was a “form of narcissistic, self-victimization, gay insanity.” She then continued, complaining that, “You wanna talk about the fact that I have heard nobody in the gay community, no gay males, standing up for women on any level? I think it’s what happens to you as a group when you are starting to get most of what you fought for. What do you do now? What I would hope they would do is extend a hand to women. Women, by and large, have very much helped the gay community get to where they are today.” McGowan then claimed that, “Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so.”
