Greg Grunberg, the actor who portrays Officer Matt Parkman on Heroes, has gotten himself into a messy controversy after posting a Chaz Bono-related Tweet.
The Tweets that have some in the GLBT community offended:
The Bilerico Project's Rebecca Juro was the first to report on Grunberg's Twitter posts, labeling them transphobic, but not attacking the actor with too many punches. Grunberg received wind of the offense his Tweets provoked, and personally responded to Juro maintaining that he was referring to Chaz's weight and not status as a transgender individual.
But we want to hear what you think. Do you find Grunberg's Tweets offensive?
