The Simpson Angers Gay Group

The Simpsons has come under fire from a gay rights group after one of the characters said “that’s so gay” during the show’s Halloween episode.

Nelson Muntz uttered the words on Sunday night to Milhouse Van Houten, now the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) are demanding an apology from Fox Network.

In a statement the group said, Nelson’s use of ‘that’s so gay’ in a negative way is not surprising considering that 90% of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth say they hear the term used thisway frequently or often at school.”

GLSEN directed Nelson – known for his trademark phrase “Ha Ha!” – to go to its Web site, ThinkB4YouSpeak.com, and “send an apologetic e-card to Milhouse.”

UPDATE (Allie): I’m sorry, but this whole debate is gay.
