I know people want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but FUCK HIM for not apologizing when it was pointed out how it could be read, especially in the light of all the suicides of young gay men. Gay people don't count enough for him not to make the heterosexist comment in the first place, and they don't count enough for him to apologize when he (however inadvertently) rubs salt in our wounds. If he wasn't ridiculously self-centered and homophobic, he would be feeling like utter shit for the misunderstanding.

Not to mention: Making light of suicide really isn't cool.
