Rose McGowan might have been reared by drag queens, but the Charmed star has a bone to pick with gay men.

In a podcast with American Psycho author Brett Easton Ellis, McGowan declared that misogyny among gay men is “a huge problem.”

Gay men are as misogynistic as straight men, if not more so. I have an indictment of the gay community right now, I’m actually really upset with them… Nobody in the gay community, no gay male, is standing up for women on any level. What happens to you as a group when you are starting to get most of what you fought for? What do you do now? What I can say, and what I would hope they would do, is extend a hand to women. Look at Stonewall. Stonewall was fought on the backs of transvestites, drag queens and women. Women, by in large, have very much helped the gay community get to where they are today. It’s on their backs. And I have seen not a single peep from these people, who supposedly represent lesbians as well… when the equal pay act was shut down by Republicans in the Senate, not a single man mentioned that. I see now people who have basically fought for the right to stand on top of a float wearing an orange Speedo and take molly.

Ouch.

Of course Ellis is hardly a stranger to controversial statements himself: In 2011 he tweeted that watching Glee was like “stepping into a puddle of HIV.”

But back to Rose—does she have a point? Was it the right way to address the topic? Speak your mind in the comments below.
