The Charmed actress visited Brett Easton Ellis's podcast, PodcastOne where she said, "Gay men are as misogynisitic as straight men, if **t more so." She went on to share her disappointment with the gay community and their lack of support for women's rights, arguing that there is a need for more gay feminists.
After her interview stirred up controversy, the actress responded with an op-ed piece (http://www.advocate.com/commentary/2014/11/05/op-ed-rose-mcgowan-need-more-gay-male-feminists) in The Advocate in which she apologized for making generalizations, but said that her argument about the lack of gay support for women's rights still stands. Rose argued, "What I want is for gay rights activists to help other disenfranchised groups." She continued:
"Do I think the LGBT community needs to address and combat the misogyny in its midst? Absolutely. I've lived and breathed gay rights for as long as I can remember. I've seen so much change, and **w I want more. Women, myself included, have given blood, sweat, and tears to the gay rights movement. I'm asking for help in return. Casual and accepted misogyny ** longer works for me, and it shouldn't work for you.
Here's a small example of being the change you want to see: I was with a gay man the other night who was talking about the ***ually liberated Blanche Devereaux of The Golden Girls. He was going on about what a slut she was. I asked why he'd say that so thoughtlessly. If I'm **t supposed to say (and I don't) "that's so gay," surely this man can start thinking about why it's acceptable to slut-shame. He thanked me for opening his eyes. This is how we do this, one on one. Catch it when it's happening, and challenge it."
