Alec Baldwin shouted a gay slur at a cameraman yesterday following a courtroom victory in his stalker case.

As Cooper notes, this isn't Baldwin's first homophobic outburst.
In June, he erupted at Daily Mail reporter George Stark and called him a "toxic little queen" after his wife was accused of tweeting upbeat messages at James Gandolfini's funeral.
In a statement Thursday, GLAAD called on Baldwin to "end this pattern of anti-gay slurs."
"Mr. Baldwin can't lend his support for equality on paper, while degrading gay people in practice," the organization said.
Baldwin began hosting "Up Late With Alec Baldwin" on MSNBC in October.
