Nelson Muntz from "The Simpsons" is used to being in trouble, but now he's under fire over a "super gay" comment he made on Sunday's Halloween episode ... ha HUH?

The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the people who teamed up with Hilary Duff to fight the offensive use of the phrase "that's so gay," is now going after Nelson for his homophobic comment on the show.

In a statement to TMZ, GLSEN says: "Nelson's use of 'that's so gay' in a negative way is not surprising considering that 90 percent of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth say they hear the term used this way frequently or often at school. Nelson should visit ThinkB4YouSpeak.com where he can send an apologetic e-card to Milhouse. GLSEN would also welcome Nelson's participation in our next PSA so he can make amends by helping to educate young people about why such language is wrong."

A rep for the show was not immediately available for comment. Nelson's people couldn't be reached for comment either ... since he's a cartoon.

Nelson was the target of the same phrase many seasons ago. Nelson and Lisa spent some time together for a while. Naturally Nelson's bully friends wanted him to play with them instead of with Lisa. One of the bullies make an amusing ironic remark, telling Nelson, "You're spending time with a girl? That's so GAY!" A similar ironic remark occurred on the show Grosse Pointe.

I like the Halloween episode even more knowing it's offended an uptight P.C. group.

Question: What did Nelson say that was offensive? Answer: I dunno. Something about being gay.

They are uptight? Do you know this from personal experience?

OK, OK, I have made fun of gay people and teased the previous posters in this thread. In the interests of fairness, I now have to make fun of someone who is homophobic. Where is Rob Wade when you need him? Rob, get your homophobic, secretly gay, ass over here so I can insult you!
