Cricket’s Gay and Jason Alexander Didn’t Mean ‘Happy’

You know how I know it’s really kind of a gay game?” Was Alexander’s comment. “It’s the pitch. It’s the weirdest… It’s not like a manly baseball pitch; it’s a queer British gay pitch.” His offensive remark was broadcast on Craig Ferguson’s The Late Late Show in 2012, and it quickly became the target of various LGBT organizations. Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) actually agreed to let Jason announce a statement with their mediation. “I should know better,” Alexander explained. “My daily life is filled with gay men and women, both socially and professionally. I am profoundly aware of the challenges these friends of mine face and I have openly advocated on their behalf. So, I can only apologize and I do. In comedy, timing is everything.”
