‘SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE’: ALEC BALDW SAYS THERE HAVE BEEN MANY GAY MALE CAST MEMBERS — THEY JT WEREN’T OUT

The heated discsn surroundg “Saturday Night Live” and s cln (or lack thereof) of gay st members rag on, bee — of urse — Alec Baldw is Tweetg. After edian Jam Adomian spoke to The Daily Beast regardg his belief that “Saturday Night Live” has an issue when to stg out gay men, “SNL’s” current signated Tmp impersonator tweeted a lk to the article wh the snarky ment, “My dream is to, one day, be as gifted, as brave, as all-knowg as @jamadomian. Branum also asked Baldw if he uld intify an openly gay man that Lorne Michaels has hired (beyond the prevly noted Terry Sweeney — who wasn’t hired by Michaels — and John Milhiser), to which Baldw replied that he uld, but….

The fact that gay men get st on SNL when they stay closeted and play ball don’t make the show clive. Currently, the arguable star of “Saturday Night Live” is the openly gay Kate McKnon, but she’s the only LGBTQ member of the st at this pot. Warner Bros and New Le brought back the 1980s to Hollywood, throwg a rare Friday night premiere for Rock of Ag that saw Me De ins Poison and Def Leppard h a stage at the Cise steals the movie and stole a lot of the attentn on the Boulevard, but one scene that may get tongu waggg, pecially the current climate where gays rights are beg fought over by lawmakers, volv Alec Baldw and Rsell Brand ('s the stage mil, so 's not a spoiler), whose characters reveal their love to each other via the REO Speedwagon song "Can’t Fight This Feelg, " pped wh a passnate the after-party, between the rock acts, Baldw played down the signifince of the kiss sequence, scribg as done for edy and surprise.

ALEC BALDW TALKS ABOUT HIS GAY KISS WH RSELL BRAND AT 'ROCK OF AG' PREMIERE

"For director Adam Shankman, the movie is ultimately about upl fdg love, not a statement about gay marraige.

Alec Baldw has done aga: He's been ught on mera hurlg anti-gay ephets a csg tira agast the vulturo paparazzi on his heels. "However, knowg full well that the six-letter "F" word is a homophobic slur -- and the leter effects that spewg that word has had on the endorsement als and the reers of other public figur the past -- Baldw emphatilly refut even havg uttered . But I n assure you, wh plete nfince, that a direct homophobic slur (or direct one for that matter) is not spoken.

THE LGBTQ COMMUNY'S RPONSE TO ALEC BALDW'S ANTI-GAY SLURS: A RACE-BASED DOUBLE STANDARD?

"While we have to give Baldw cred for his stnch support of marriage equaly and gay civil rights general, and also for havg a bevy of LGBTQ iends, he has fally maxed out wh the mea culpas to our muny.

He now n't help but appear to be a lip-service ally at bt, and an exposed closeted homophobe at worst. Baldw n't fight for equaly on paper, while gradg gay people practice, " a GLAAD reprentative rightly told FOX 411.

Homophobic ephets are so pervasive across our culture that most goodhearted and well-tentned heterosexual people like Baldw are sadly unaware of the psychologil and physil toll that the words have on lbian, gay, bisexual, transgenr and queer (LGBTQ) people.

ALEC BALDW APOLOGIZ FOR ANTI-GAY SLUR

Too often the valierly ed ephets go eher unchecked or unchallenged as the hate speech that they unfortunately, Baldw's go-to arsenal of profany is an assortment of potty-mouthed anti-gay ephets.

Durg a standup performance June 2011 at the Ryman Audorium Nashville, Tenn., Man ma some statements about LGBTQ people that he said were tend as jok but which were really sultg jabs:"Gays need to qu beg psi and not be whg about somethg as signifint as bullyg.

He lost then there are those who, when lled out for g the "F" word, ntt that they didn't mean as an sult or didn't mean an anti-gay pot: Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Yunel Esbar was spend September 2012 for three gam for wearg eye black that displayed a homophobic slur wrten Spanish -- "TU ERE MARICON" -- durg a game agast the Boston Red Sox.

HERE IS A PILATN OF ALEC BALDW G GAY SLURS

") Esbar, a native of Cuba, ntted that the phrase was taken out of ntext, sayg that his culture is not tend to be offensive but is stead a normal part of iendly repartee between if the dividual tent behd the e of the words was not homophobic, the words are still problematic bee language is a reprentatn of culture. Alec Baldw certaly needs to go to anger management, but he also needs to clean his potty mouth, bee 's not jt foul; 's homophobic. Alec Baldw pris himself on beg anti-Donald Tmp and is a registered Democrat wh left-leang polil views, which mak extra shockg that he was acced of beg homophobic more than once.

" In November 2013, Baldw was fired om his MSNBC talk show, Up Late Wh Alec Baldw, after allegedly screamg homophobic slurs at a New York Post photographer, Page Six reported. Fair enough, but April 2014, Fox News reported that Baldw ma homophobic implitns a tweet to a Mt Romney ai.

While Baldw sists he's not homophobic, his pattern of makg seemgly homophobic remarks is troublg to say the least. Not only did he give very emotnal ttimony agast an acced stalker, but he also raised the ire of GLAAD after g an anti-gay slur he didn’t realize was one.

ALEC BALDW, AS IS HIS WONT, CASUALLY US ANOTHER GAY SLUR [UPDATED]

Baldw n’t lend his support for equaly on paper, while gradg gay people practice, ” GLADD tweeted. Baldw listens to the lls om so many LGBT people and alli to end this pattern of anti-gay slurs.

I’m grateful to all of the ppl I meet + hear om who regnize that I would never say somethg to offend my iends the gay muny.

On Friday TMZ featured vio of Baldw askg his male hairdrser if he thought he was a homophobe, to which the stylist jokgly rpond, “Y.

The third is that people’s darkt and most irratnal thoughts and feelgs tmp their nsired beliefs: Baldw n’t possibly really believe gay rights, acrdg to Coat, if he has any negative feelgs about homosexualy whatsoever.

ALEC'S GAY ROLE

It is jt as ludicro to nmn people for beg aaid of or repulsed by homosexualy as is to nmn them for havg vlent impuls.

I don't thk if Jse Jackson, or Al Sharpton, shared Baldw's rerd of threateng actual gay men, and threateng people perd wh anti-gay slurs, that this would be a bate.

If you are gay your father or mother uld be a "homophobic bigot, " but you might well love him all the same. Ten years later, Longstreet was leadg black soldiers a urageo, if doomed, mpaign agast whe terrorists if we are hont wh ourselv, as the print would say, we know this isn't theoretil, bee we know most tellg—and bizarre—portn of Alwan's say is the ia that "homophobic feelgs are no more of a choice than homosexualy self.
