GLAAD and others slam Tim "I hate gay people" Hardaway

Two major gay and lesbian groups have denounced Tim Hardaway's hateful homophobic remarks made this week.
Neil Giuliano, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation: "Hardaway's comments are vile, repulsive, and indicative of the climate of ignorance, hostility and prejudice that continues to pervade sports culture," "And by apologizing not for his bigotry, but rather for giving voice to it, he's reminding us that this ugly display is only the tip of a very large iceberg."

Said Matt Foreman, president of the National Gay & Lesbian Task Force: "Hardaway is a hero to thousands of young people. And that's what makes his comments so troubling. Sadly, his words simply put the pervasive homophobia in the NBA on the table."
