Leslie Jordan on Throwing Sweet Tea at\u00a0Anti-gay<\/a> Starbucks Patrons: \u2018I Lost My Temper\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n

\"Leslie<\/p>\n

Yesterday, we told you the incredible story<\/a> of character actor Leslie Jordan confronting a group of men<\/a> who were shouting anti-gay<\/a> slurs at a West Hollywood Starbucks earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Jordan, perhaps best known for his role on gay<\/a>-centric shows like Will & Grace<\/em> and Sordid Lives<\/em>, reportedly told the men<\/a> to “get out of our house” before throwing his iced tea on the phobes.<\/p>\n

Locals interviewed after the incident called Jordan a “hero,” but Jordan pushed back a bit against the designation in a Facebook post Friday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I was hoping to remain silent on the incident at Starbucks but somehow the story found legs and has made its way into the press. I feel I owe my friends an explanation:<\/p>\n

Truth be told it was “sweet” iced tea, not coffee. I am a “sweet” mannered Southern boy<\/a> who was taught not to start a fight. Nobody ever told me I could not end one. I refused to sit and watch these hate crimes continue. I guess our work for equality is not done yet!<\/p>\n

I’m being hailed a hero which is all well and good but I lost my temper. My heroes in life always kept their cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyone who stands up against hate is a hero in our book. Thank you Leslie!<\/p>\n
