Rose McGowan: Gays are ‘more misogynistic’ than straight men

The Charmed star made the claim to controversial author Bret Easton Ellis on his podcast last month.

She said: “Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so. I have an indictment of the gay community right now, I’m actually really upset with them.”

She continued to rant about the gay community, explaining her decision to hold a defiant party in support of the Brunei-owned Beverly Hills Hotel this summer, despite a boycott over Brunei’s anti-gay laws.

She said: “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?

This woman - whom I'd never heard of prior to this story - is either stupid or suffering from delusions of grandeur.

[font style="font-family:papyrus,'Brush Script MT','comic sans MS',fantasy;" size=3 color=teal]I never heard anyone from charmed standing up for LGBTQ community, racial minorities, or women on any level either.

Sooooo by her logic I guess that makes her a racist misogynistic homophobe.

I thought I was doing a pretty good job at it. Uh Oh with the statement I just made, now I have to look over my shoulder for the "Gay Mafia".

"...explaining her decision to hold a defiant party in support of the Brunei-owned Beverly Hills Hotel this summer, despite a boycott over Brunei’s anti-gay laws."

So would she throw a party for Hezbollah if she was pissed about Jews supporting Israel?
