The Issues: June 2008 Archives
GLAAD is freaked out about nothing again, this time a single statement in a recent episode of Morgan Spurlock's FX series "30 Days." They've released this press release urging FX to correct, counter, or modify a statement made by some Christian conservative douchebag on the show and urging GLAAD Faans to write in and do the same.
The story has been picked up by most of the big gay blogs, with no one bothering to acknowledge that Spurlock and "30 Days" have already proven themselves to be dedicated friends of teh gays who deserve the benefit of the doubt. I haven't seen the whole episode yet, but you can tell from the way they are cutting between the gay couple featured on last night's episode, taking loving and responsible care of their children, and that crazy conservative dipstick spouting nonsense, whose side they are on.
As for that ogress crying at the end of the clip about how her "femininity" was undervalued by her gay parents, well she obviously just needs to crawl back under her bridge and get over it. I repeat: GLAAD SUUCKS.
UPDATE: Dan Savage has seen the episode and concurs with GLAAD on this one. So I'm probably wrong about how deftly the issue is handled by 30 Days. But GLAAD still sucks.
This cute British ad features a gay kiss. It's not really making a pro-gay point, as the man behind the counter is actually the family's "mum" transformed into an authentic NYC deli-man by the power of Heinz' Deli Mayo line of flavored mayos, but it's still got Bill O'Reilly huffing and puffing and loads of British parents complaining.
They are selling these Barack Obama sock monkeys here, although they are currently out of stock.
This is my response: :-O

Yay, the McCain Girls are back! And they are voting like they've never voted before...
