Read your quote and think about it. It would have been career SUICIDE if he DIDN'T do what was asked of him by GLAAD. Period. Was a gun put to his head? No. But thats about as complimentary as one can get about his situation. He had a burgeoning career, a family to support, etc. Its fucking extortion and you damn well know it. GLAAD and the rest of the Gay community know very well that Morgan wasn't being "hateful" or any other tag you wish to put on it. The media is SO frightened of appearing homophobic, racist that they will pander to special interest groups who look for a badge of victimization in order to legitimize their own agendas. It's disgusting and its dishonest.
Ah, well, I think we just have an irreconcilable difference of opinion.
Yes it would have been career suicide to not apologize, but I put the blame squarely on Morgan. He was the idiot who said what he did. Whereas it seems like you put the blame on everyone but Morgan for daring to inflict some social consequence.
