GLAAD mounts campaign against 50 Cent

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) is calling on 50 Cent to let his fans know that anti-gay violence isn’t something to joke about after the rapper tweeted threatening comments to blogger Perez Hilton last week, including a violent photo of two men in suits running from a mob.

"Perez Hilton calld me douchebag so I had my homie shoot up a gay wedding. wasnt his but still made me feel better," read the tweet.

50 Cent also tweeted Hilton: "stop being so sensitive its a joke. Your acting like a big baby" and, "my next song will make your sweet ass dance lol chill out."

"It's wrong to make jokes and promote violence against the gay community," said GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro.

"Taking down the post is not enough. We wanted him to tell his Twitter followers that what he did was wrong."

A rep for 50 Cent had no comment. But it wasn't the first time "Fitty's" run afoul of the gay community.

He told Playboy in a 2004 interview, "I don't like gay people around me, because I'm not comfortable with what their thoughts are... I'd rather hang out with a straight dude. But women who like women, that's cool."

GLAAD is calling on supporters to post this tweet on their twitter pages:
