ACTRESS Rose McGowan, who says she is "heavily entrenched" in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community, says gay men are more misogynistic than straight men.

"I have an indictment of the gay community right now, I'm actually really upset with them," the 41-year-old McGowan, who starred as Paige Matthews in the TV series Charmed, said on gay author Brett Easton Ellis' weekly podcast.

"You wanna talk about the fact that I have heard nobody in the gay community, no gay males, standing up for women on any level?" she questioned, The Independent reported.

"There is Sharia law active in Saudi Arabia, there's a woman who's about to be stoned — I have not heard (AIDS activist) Cleve Jones discuss her, and nor will he.

"I think it's what happens to you as a group when you are starting to get most of what you fought for? What do you do now? What I would hope they would do is extend a hand to women. Women, by-and-large, have very much helped the gay community get to where they are today.

"And I have seen not a single peep from these people, who supposedly represent lesbians as well ... when the equal pay act was shut down by Republicans in the Senate, not a single man mentioned that.

"I see now people who have basically fought for the right to stand on top of a float wearing an orange speedo and take molly (MDMA).

"[Gay misogyny] is a huge problem," added McGowan, who was engaged to rock musician Marilyn Manson and subsequently married artist Davey Detail last October.

McGowan's comments were made as she and Easton Ellis spoke against the gay boycott of the Dorchester Hotel collection, owned by the Sultan of Brunei, calling the boycotters "delusional idiots".

The Dorchester Collection has been boycotted by high-profile gays since homosexuality in Brunei was made punishable by stoning to death in April.

McGowan later took to her Twitter page (followed by 538,000) to apologise for her statement about how gays basically fought for the right to stand on top of a float and take MDNA, Advocate reported.

"I was pissed off when I said that, obvs a gross over generalization (sic), for which I apologize (sic). But my point stands," she tweeted. "Could have articulated my frustration in a better fashion? Undoubtedly. For that I apologize (sic), but I stand by the overall point."

McGowan today wrote a column for Advocate on her views about the need for more gay male feminists.
