When "Charmed" actress Rose McGowan expressed frustration with what she considers a lack of support for women's rights from the gay community during a recent podcast interview filmmaker Bret Easton Ellis, she offended some members of the gay community, reports CNN.

"I see now basically people who've fought for the right to stand on top of a float wearing an orange speedo and take molly (MDMA)," McGowan told Ellis. "And I see no help, and I see no paying it forward, and I have a huge problem with that. ... There are so many things to help and do, and I see no extending of a hand outside of the gay community to another community, and that's a problem for me."

She also added that "gays are as misogynistic (as straight men), if not more so. ... I have an indictment of the gay community right now; I'm actually really upset with them."

The remarks did not sit well with members of the gay community who used Twitter to criticize the actress and director.

J. Kimball Currier tweeted to McGowen: "@rosemcgowan I can't think of a single LGBTQ activist who isn't concerned about the rights of ALL people. I think you're delusional."

McGowan responded to the backlash by posting an apology and clarification to Twitter and in two opinion pieces; one in The Advocate and the other in The Huffington Post.

"I made a dumb generalization, and for that I apologize," she said in her Op-ed. "For everything else I said, no, I will not."

The apology didn't soften the harsh opinions McGowan expressed about the lack of women's rights support in the LGBT community. She mentioned that when every male Republication voted down equal pay for women an outcry from the LGBT community did not follow, and she wonders why. "After all, lesbians are women, this affects them, too, right? Misogyny infuriates men, and it endangers me as a human," she wrote.

"Gay men certainly aren't MORE misogynistic than heteros, but I've met some that have come damn close," the actress wrote. "In some ways it's more damaging, because it's coming from supposedly enlightened people.

"I do expect more from a group of people that understands discrimination. ... What I want is for gay rights activists to help other disenfranchised groups. These activists are experts while so many other groups flounder. It's time to share the wealth and knowledge."
