Mel Gibson is homophobic too

After spending the week trying to convince the public that he’s not an anti-Semite, Mel Gibson is now being accused of homophobia. MSNBC reports that The Passion of the Christ director made anti-gay comments during an interview that took place 14 years ago.

When Spanish newspaper El Pais asked Gibson about homosexuals in 1992, he shot back: “They take it up the a—.” Then pointing at his behind, he said, “This is only for taking a s—t.” He told the reporter that he was once worried that if he became an actor, people would think he was gay.

“But with this look, who’s going to think I’m gay?” he asked. “It would be hard to take me for someone like that. Do I sound like a homosexual? Do I talk like them? Do I move like them?”

After some people were offended by his comments, Playboy magazine asked the actor if he would apologize. “I’ll apologize when hell freezes over,” he told the mag.

Later, when the Washington Post asked Gibson if he was “tolerant,” he replied: “Ahhh, I like to think I am. Perhaps I’m not.”
