Alec Baldwin Pretends to be Gay to Defuse Gay Criticism

Trotting out his gay hairdresser to show the media he isn’t a homophobe wasn’t as convincing as Alec Baldwin hoped. He’s now gone to plan b. Pretending he’s gay but making sure to punctuate the joke with a “no h**o.”

At a tech conference in SF on Wednesday, Baldwin asked a member of his group to stand up. He said, “I want you to be my lover, Matt. I love you, Matt. I love you in that way.” Haha, not awkward at all.

After everyone laughed, Baldwin said he loved some men more than women during his life but never in a sexual way. Ah, there’s his “no h**o.” He then spoke at length about the injustice towards himself in today’s world.

“If in any context in the world that we live in today, if any word is remotely offensive to people, then I’m perfectly willing to learn a different word,” he said.

Baldwin also lamented people’s tendency to believe everything they hear and read on the Internet.

“There is a drive-by justice to the Internet society,” he said. “They indict you, convict you and hang you on the same day.”

He’s right. New media probably digitally altered that video of him shouting “cocksucking f*g” at that photographer. Thanks, Obama.
