GLAAD to Jericho: Thanks for 'Hollow' Apology

GLAAD isn't buyin' Chris Jericho's apology for using anti-gay and racist slurs at a recent event -- in fact, the gay rights group is going after the wrestler for being "insincere and worn."

Chris Jericho

Jarrett Barrios -- president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation -- tells TMZ:

Chris Jericho: Click to watch"Just three months ago Chris Jericho's boss and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon acknowledged to GLAAD that words matter.

There is no time, context or occasion in which it is acceptable to utter racist and anti-gay slurs. Jericho's hollow apology 'if (he) offended anyone' is a template used by many and is insincere and worn

4. WHO CARES?!?!?!?! GLAAD needs to grow a pair of balls and get over it already. Everyone is always offended about everything. If I let everything everyone said bother me so bad, I would have had a heart attack by now. Damn.

7. Calling someone names or slurs is wrong,but what's worse is going to a group like GLADD for Your morality.
GLADD advocates using the word "gay" to characterize oneself even if someone is dealing with a personal issue which has led them to unwanted same sex attraction.
People can come out of homosexual addiction and false identity.It's a proven fact that GLADD actually works to suppress.

12. Seriously, shut up GLAAD. Everyone who pisses you off doesn't have to say sorry to you, I sure as hell wouldn't. It is a WORD thats right, just a word. If you want to be gay be gay some people aren't going to like it and some people don't care but calling everyone out who says "fag" even when not talking about a gay person shows just the kind of Drama Queen Divas you are.

I say "that's gay" all the time, and I don't dislike gay people. I would never plead for forgivness from you either. You can't say you walk around in your prissy gay pants and have never offended someone your entire life. Get off your damn high horses people seriously.

You people offend entire religions, do you see them hopping on T.V asking you to appologize for holding your partners hand in public, or asking you to appologize for destroying their "idea" of marriage? Regardless if you think your opinions are right, and theirs are wrong you still offend at least 40% of the general population. You offend almost every religion and then someone says fag and you want them to suffer for it. Come on, I don't care if you get married, I don't care if you walk around grabbing your partners rear end in front of my children and you shouldn't care if people say fag as an insult to a STRAIGHT person from time to time.

It is a word, again thats all a word. Your mothers obviously never helped you graduate from Preschool complaining traits. Stop being so sensitive, it's gay.

14. Glaad shut up already. all your crying about getting your feelings hurt just makes you look like a bunch of f***!. LOL

15. GLAAD : You're acting like a bunch of Preschool Drama Queen Divas.

You offend at least 40% of the general population by just being homosexual. You offend just about every religion and I personally don't see them hopping on T.V or writing letters to you telling you plead for forgivness for grabbing your partners rear end in front of my children.

Words are words, plain and simple. I say "that's gay" more than I can count, and I have no problem with homosexual people. It's just a WORD a SAYING and has nothing to do with you personally. I don't care either, I have a voice and I will say what I want without fear of being punished for it.

Maybe people would respect you more if you stopped being such PC Drama Queens. I know I would. When you complain about every little word though it puts you into that group of people I don't even want to support. Get off your high horses, you can't say through your entire life you have NEVER said something you shouldn't have or offended someone. It's a part of life, and whining like little babies about if you are homosexual or not IS GAY!
