Bret Easton Ellis Banned from Attending Annual Glaad Media Awards Owing to Twitter Activities

Bret Easton Ellis has reportedly been banned from attending this year's Annual Glaad Media Awards because of his recent Twitter activities.

Novelist and screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis took to his Twitter account to announce that he has been allegedly banned from attending this year's Annual Glaad Media Awards, because they are "furious" about his recent Twitter activities.

"As a gay man in a domestic partnership who plans to get married I'm sad to hear I've been banned by Glaad from attending tomorrow's event," the "American Psycho" author wrote. "Glaad is supposedly 'furious' about my tweets. And I'm guessing not the ones concerning my boyfriend or how sexy I think Adam Driver is."

The Guardian reports that Glaad has confirmed that they have asked for a meeting with the novelist, but denies issuing an outright ban. "Glaad spoke with the guest who was planning to bring Bret about some of Bret's recent remarks, which the gay community responded negatively to," the organization's vice president of communications Rich Ferraro told the Hollywood Reporter. "We also asked for a time to sit down with Bret. They decided to replace Bret with a different guest and there has been no response to the offer of a meeting."

The event is held in honor of individuals and organizations for their positive representation of those in the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transsexual communities by inviting them as guests to the event.
