EW YORK, N.Y. --
Alec
Baldwin has apologized to a New York City-based lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender rights group for a series of tweets that could be
interpreted as homophobic.
Baldwin’s
messages were directed at a newspaper reporter who accused his wife of
tweeting during the funeral for the former star of “The Sopranos” James
Gandolfini. Baldwin says in a letter to GLAAD posted on its website
Friday his tweets didn’t have anything to do with “issues of anyone’s
sexual orientation.”
The former
“30 Rock” star says he’s done political work with marriage equality
groups and insists he wouldn’t advocate violence against someone for
being gay.
GLAAD
spokesman Rich Ferraro says Baldwin’s language was improper and his
tweets didn’t reflect his “history of actively supporting LGBT
equality.”
