Howard Stern Done Saying "F*g"?

By Ross von Metzke

Howard Stern admits he sometimes slips and uses the word “f*g,” but he was taken aback by how much Lisa Lampanelli used it on his radio show because he thinks gay people are too often “bullied” and “abused.”

“I know Lisa’s kidding around and all that, but I’ve tried to change my thought about that word. I’ve tried to stop using it … I’d rather not use it,” he said when a caller asked is he was bothered by the comedian’s excessive use of the word on his Sirius XM radio show.

“I have a tremendous compassion for people that are homosexual. I feel that they are bullied and abused in our society. They take such shit just because they like to be with the same sex, and it’s so absurd to me.

“It must be a terrible thing to be exposed to that kind of hatred and be hated just because of your sexuality.”

Kathy Griffin Going After Willow Palin

Katy Griffin vowed to offend Willow Palin in 2011 because of her use of homophobic slurs on Facebook.

By Advocate.com Editors

Comedian Kathy Griffin managed to avoid swearing on the New Year’s Eve broadcast on CNN, but she did promise to take down Willow Palin for her use of homophobic slurs on Facebook.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Griffin said that the 16-year-old daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin is a legitimate target because she called a boy a “fa---t” on Facebook in November. The comedian already has taken on the governor, her husband, Todd, and her daughter Bristol.

"She's called people a fa---t on Facebook a couple of times," said Griffin. "You don't throw around the f word without hearing from me about it."
