THE IRONY THAT'S GLAAD .. QUID PRO QUO

GLAAD came out the other day with it's list of nominees for it's GLAAD Awards.

Striking was ABC-TV, the same network which GLAAD complained about over the Adam Lambert fiasco has several nominations.

GLAAD also has a problem in giving a nod to the documentary Outrage which Mike Rogers was part of in looking at the Republicans who are purported to be in the closet yet strike out against LGBTs.

In a statement from GLAAD sent to Rogers it reads in part, "Outrage is a fine movie and an important one .... But the GLAAD Media Awards aren't the Academy Awards, they are about highlighting media that move America by telling stories of lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender people - not those who run from who they are."

Also the "usual suspects" didn't make the Digital Journalism Awards cut either. But then they're not real journalists anyway, just the usual run of the mill "new age" make believe ones.

Tsk .. tsk .. hope they don't run out of tissues anytime soon.

As far as GLADD goes who are very willing to take money from Hollywood and then in quid pro quo backstroke the industry with silly awards that no one outside of the Rainbow World give a hoot about, GLAAD should decide whether it wants to be an award presentation piece or doing what it professes to do, stand up and call out when percieved evil is done against LGBTs.

Thank God I have a snowball's chance in Hell of ever being nomimated for one of their awards , but then it would be nice to write GLAAD and say, thanks, but no thanks.

Quid Pro Quo Clarice, quid pro quo.
