Nelson Owes Milhouse Apology for "Gay" Slur

Nelson Muntz from "The Simpsons" is used to being in trouble, but now he's under fire over a "super gay" comment he made on Sunday's Halloween episode ... ha HUH?

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the people who teamed up with Hilary Duff to fight the offensive use of the phrase "that's so gay," is now going after Nelson for his homophobic comment on the show.

In a statement to TMZ, GLSEN says: "Nelson's use of 'that's so gay' in a negative way is not surprising considering that 90 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth say they hear the term used this way frequently or often at school. Nelson should visit ThinkB4YouSpeak.com where he can send an apologetic e-card to Milhouse. GLSEN would also welcome Nelson's participation in our next PSA so he can make amends by helping to educate young people about why such language is wrong."

A rep for the show was not immediately available for comment. Nelson's people couldn't be reached for comment either ... since he's a cartoon.

just sayin:  1196 days ago

do you remember when "thats so gay" was just a phrase used for something really dumb. Oh, but i guess really dumb is also incorrect, cause someone could really be dumb.. or thats retarded. The funny thing is, my sister is gay and i always to this day say "thats so gay" then remember that they are gay - so now i just say, okay i say this it isnt knocking you it is just something i say "THATS SO GAY"... that they made a big deal about his is "SO GAY"

Last time I checked, this country still had FREE SPEECH. I'm sick and tired of everybody and organizations trying to censor what we can and cannot say.
THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY PEOPLE..

There is no such thing as a joke anymore. Is satire off limits in 2008?
The media and all of these "groups" are so p.c. that we cannot even laugh about our differences.
They are WAY worse than the religious right.
Mark my words, Obama being elected will only make it worse.

While on the subject of things is that episode that were offensive, can the Simpsons' apologize for blaspheming the Nicene Creed, too? Probably not, seeming as though it's not GAY.

My friends this is the day. Along with voting for McCain/Palin let's keep this a nation of morals and followers of God's law. Vote yes on Prop 8 and put an end to this nonsense about same sex marriage. If you are in California vote YES on prop 8.
