Updated Monday 4:20 p.m. PST
Adam Carolla just responded to TMZ after GLAAD and other LGBT advocates spoke out.
Carolla said, “I'm sorry my comments were hurtful. I'm a comedian, not a politician." Well, that was quick, but, GLAAD is saying that he's not going to get off the hook this easily and are sticking with what they said earlier.
GLAAD's newest statement: “Adam Carolla has a history of making anti-LGBT and racist statements,” said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of Programs at GLAAD. “Networks and advertisers should remember that attacking people who are different from him, and following it with empty apologies, is just a regular part of Carolla’s routine.”
