Alec Baldwin said some pretty nasty things (again) and his daughter Ireland is coming to his defense.
Ireland took to Twitter this weekend to tell her fans, and her father’s fans, to give Alec Baldwin another shot. Ireland insists that her father is a good person with a good heart and is “far from a homophobe or a racist.” In case you missed it, Alec was caught calling a paparazzi photographer a “c*ck sucking f*g” last week.
Sometimes we let our tempers get the best of us. Tempers are like wildfires. Something or someone can easily fuel the fire.

It takes a lot of strength for someone to release their anger. It takes a lot of strength and SUPPORT for someone to grow and become a… — ireland (@IrelandBBaldwin) November 17, 2013

For someone who has battled with anger management issues, my dad has grown tremendously.

My dad is far from a homophobe or a racist.

From what you’ve read and from what media has been shoved down your throats, he has a kind heart. — ireland (@IrelandBBaldwin) November 17, 2013
Ireland Baldwin may be right. Alec Baldwin may be a great guy when he’s with his family and out of the public eye. But the actor has repeatedly shown the public that he can’t control his anger. He’s had multiple fights with the paparazzi, has frequently been caught using slurs and racist language, and he has no one to blame but himself. Well, him and the paparazzi.
Having paparazzi following my mom and I has not been thrilling.

Paparazzi can bring out many confined feelings of anger and spite out of anyone.

My point being, what my dad said was WRONG. What my dad felt WASN’T.

Boundaries have to be made. Paparazzi have jobs to do, but some of them jeopardize people’s lives and cross a line.

My dad has an INFANT CHILD to protect.

All the parents out there should understand. You would do anything to protect your baby.

Now, let’s all quit acting like children. Let my dad be and let him have his room to learn and enjoy his family.

Do you agree with Ireland Baldwin? Is Alec Baldwin’s most recent flare up really just a teaching moment about how the paparazzi should act?
Alec has apologized himself but it doesn’t look like the public is listening. He was suspended from his TV show for two weeks and GLAAD issued a public statement saying that Alec would have to do more than just apologize for his latest slur.
Mr. Baldwin can’t lend his support for equality on paper, while degrading gay people in practice.

It’s clearly time Mr. Baldwin listens to the calls from so many LGBT people and allies to end this pattern of anti-gay slurs.
