(PEOPLE) -- Blake Shelton stuck his boot in his mouth, but now "The Voice" coach is apologizing.
It all started when Shelton, 34, tweeted on Tuesday his own version of a Shania Twain song: "Any man that tries touching my behind, he's gonna be a beaten, bleedin,' heaving kind of guy."
Within hours, the country crooner, who is engaged to Miranda Lambert, was attacked by a slew of angry Tweeters, along with GLAAD, which wrote, "No, @BlakeShelton -- violent, anti-gay statements are not what a woman wants. Apologize now. #LGBT #gay #thevoice @NBCTheVoice."
Shelton later apologized on the social networking site for what he called a "misunderstanding with the whole re-write on the Shania song."
"It honestly wasn't even meant that way," he wrote. "I now know that their (sic) are people out there waiting to jump at everything I say on here or anywhere. But when it comes to gay/lesbian rights or just feelings... I love everybody. So go look for a real villain and leave me out of it!!!"
Shelton later added, "@glaad hey I want my fans and @nbcthevoice fans to know that anti-gay and lesbian violence is unacceptable!!!!!"
GLAAD eventually forgave Shelton, posting a statement from the organization's president on its Web site. "Following outrage from community members and allies, Blake Shelton took the right step in speaking out against anti-gay violence and sending an important message to his fans and viewers of 'The Voice.'"
I am one of the most open minded people when it comes to gay/lesbian stuff.. I just don't care... makes no real difference to me.. but if some guy hits on me.. or walks up and grabs my arse... I am going to do the same thing that a woman should do if some guy or girl grabs them like that....
beat the snot out of them...
