The answer to that question is, apparently, a lot more:
Alec Baldwin apologizes and speaks out in support of the gay community http://t.co/dkdWjYLO4R

Wow, that was easy.
Even TMZ wasn’t buying GLAAD’s quick acceptance of Baldwin’s “apology”:
Holy TMZ. RT: @TMZ GLAAD (@glaad) — Alec Baldwin Gets a Pass … 'Cause We're Starf**kers http://t.co/SISb4tUDbe

GLAAD left many others bewildered as well:
@JimmyLaSalvia so @glaad plays the FOG (Friend of Gays) card and thinks that entitles Baldwin to a pass? #hypocrisywatch

Would love to see look on @rolandsmartin & @BrettRatner's face when they learn @GLAAD gave Alec Baldwin a TOTAL pass for FAR worse.

What I learned from Alec Baldwin and @glaad today. It's no big if straight men refer to gay men as queens. Thanks GLAAD and Alec!

It doesn't matter how you actually treat people, if you pretend to be ideologically compliant. http://t.co/fcjGsbxZ52

When will he begin making the penitent PSA's? RT @glaad: Alec Baldwin apologizes and speaks out in support of the gay community

In between shoots for Capital One commercials, perhaps?
Update:
GLAAD insists it’s not a free pass. It’s that Baldwin is well on his way to getting a pass.
Baldwin's apology is a step, not the end of the dialogue. He should now work to fight anti-gay violence http://t.co/dkdWjYLO4R
