The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) today condemned News Corporation and its tabloid New York Post for the latest in that paper's series of dehumanizing insults directed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The Post's Oct. 4 edition contained a Page Six item about an upcoming dating show on Fox Reality Channel (also a News Corporation property) called There's Something About Miriam.  The item referred to Miriam, a transgender woman from Mexico, using the slur "she-male."
