San Diego gay rights organization The Empowering Spirits Foundation is demanding an apology from a contestant on the new season of CBS’ Big Brother for an angry, homophobic tirade that was seen by viewers of the show’s 24-hour internet feed.

Contestant Jeff Schroeder’s “anti-gay slurs are extremely insensitive and foster a climate of hatred and intolerance toward the LGBT community,” said A. Latham Staples, the group’s executive director. “Schroeder works in advertising, and he should know that the use of these defamatory remarks are dehumanizing and can have a negative impact on an impressionable audience.”

Staples is also calling on CBS to refrain from airing the clips of the tirade on its television program and urges bloggers and media outlets to not repeat the slurs in coverage of the incident. (Ed. note: It is abOUT’s policy not to refrain from providing readers with any information that provides important information to the story.)

During the feed, Chicago ad salesman Schroeder slurs bodybuilders Russell and Jessie in a profanity-laced tirade after Russell mocked him for being a “dumbass.”

“Way to show your true colors, fag,” said Jeff to which Russell replied: “Hey, why do you hate on gay people, one? Why do you hate on gay people? If you want to call me a bitch, call me a bitch, but that’s just kind of stupid.’

Jeff replied, ‘That is pretty much calling you a bitch, man, gay people.’” He later said “fuck you, you fucking homo faggot,” and later, “You fucking jealous fags.”

CBS has not commented on the tirade, though it will probably not make it on the live broadcast.

Gee, ya think?

I'm in no way defending this kind of mindset or behavior. But, frankly, I find it pretty amazing that people intentionally tune in to a stupid program and then they're shocked when it's, well, stupid! These programs are specifically designed to appeal to an audience of people whose development stopped when they were about 12 years old.

to stress people to the point of tirades, apparently it worked.

Hiding bigotry does nothing to diminish it. What's wrong with a little public shaming?

Gays are NOT the new black.

No Granderson and we don't want to be. We just want our civil rights, and since civil rights don't belong to anyone merely on the basis of skin color, I don't care WHAT color yo damn shiny is or what you do with your sorta pink parts.

It's not the softcore racist bullshit in that article, it's the exclusivity that moron throws around even though he ain't old enough to even know how to spell Selma.

How do these idiots get published anyway? Jews are not the new black either, the argument is about as relative. A civil right is a civil right, period. Obama is just the person holding diaper so he smells because of that, not because he's black.

How do we write to this maroon?

about who LZ Granderson is. He is, primarily, a SPORTS columnist who happens to be gay. Whose opinion is sometimes different than mine, but whose heart is clearly in the right place.

Russell and Jessie's strategy to stress him worked better than they'd hoped, lol. And if Schroeder doesn't mind that 12 million Americans (or however many watch it) know that he's homophobe, then I guess he doesn't mind that 12 million Americans know he's a homophobe. W/e. No skin off my nose. Oh, and he's ugly. Russell is gorgeous and Jessie, too. I certainly HOPE they're gay. :)

:rofl: That was classic. :D

I have a friend who swears that Jeff sets off his gaydar, and when he snuggles with that blonde chick, he's just putting on a "See, I'm straight" show.

:) That makes more sense, lol.

And has a VERY small penis.
