    He claims he wasn't intending to be homophobic.

    He's constantly on CNN and often is a strong support of Gay Rights and Gay Marriage. I highly, highly doubt that he's homophobic.

    I watch CNN religiously and Martin is one of my favorite pundits, so I was shocked and a little sad when I saw this. He has voiced his support for LBGT rights in the past, but I wouldn't consider him an ally. His wife is a minister and he's made some very wrong, some would say hateful, comparisons to alcoholism in the past.

    that's a whole lotta forehead and a really small face (with small brain to match no doubt).

    Sounds like an unfunny joke went horribly wrong. You gotta watch what you're saying nowadays.

    What's wrong with his head?! Sorry, I know that's off-topic, but I honestly thought that photo was Photoshopped to make him look silly at first.
