Jerry Lewis upsets gays and lesbians...

Lewis's telethon raised $63.7 million (U.S.) for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, up $3 million from last year.

I love Jerry Lewis.
Did anyone complain about the 'illiterate' comment?

I think he is of a different generation.

His apology was very professional and grown up, an example we could all learn by.

"We want to sit down with him, help him understand why these words are so hurtful, and give him an opportunity to raise public awareness about the destructive impact of these kinds of anti-gay slurs, even more so in attempted humor," Giuliano said.

I am the first one to bristle at a homophobic slur. In this case though, as was mentioned, Lewis is an elderly man, and a comic from another era. He caught himself and apologized. Why can these groups understand, and just let it go???
