But they give out pretty awards!!!
In the end, GLAAD is really quite irrelevant. What really matters are people outside the gay community calling attention to this hateful comments and forcing others to think about the issue.

GLAAD spends 25% of the money donated to it on fund raising and salaries, including paying it's president over $200,000 a year. It has an annual budget of over $7M a year. I think, frankly, that money could be better spent than on media awards, endless press releases and media appearances.
Do you know how your charities spend your money?

Cmon, PJ, does anyone on "our" side or who has the proper number of chromosomes give any creedence to anything said by anyone on the Fox Network? I don't...
And papa--don't think the Woody Allen reference went unnoticed.
No, lildogs--I'm glad the John Gibson fans had to hear it. The people who listen to his radio show and watch him on Fox News.
But hon, most of those people likely agree with him...we still have folks who think the world is flat for god's sake. But I guess for the few people who will be turned off by this sort of nonsense, I guess it's a VERY SMALL epiphany, about someone who wasn't even gay.
i was hoping not, lil, but i live for the acknowledgement.
DailyKos gets around to covering the brouhaha.
John Gibson's "Apology"
kos. he makes me glad to be a republican.
While this may be "disgusting", what's it have to do with gay people? I'm not getting why GLAAD has their panties in a twist? I had to look-up John Gibson to even know who he was. I seem to recall him from the O.J. murder trial. I had no clue he had a television show.
Actually, the opposite applies. I should stay in more. I do get out. Too much. Which is why I don't know these television people. I watch very little television, and what I do watch is on Tivo. I guarantee you, I do not record Fox News or any other news television program.
