GLAAD Disses Ellen DeGeneres With Ill-Advised Remarks

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/dailymusto/archives/2010/06/glaad_disses_el.phpThe LGBT watchdog group GLAAD does a lot of good work, but sometimes they drop the gay ball and embarrass us big time.
I recently wrote about how they tried to pull the movie Ticked-off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives from the Tribeca Film Festival, partly because it didn't depict the kind of tasteful transsexuals they like to see shown--even though the characters were lovable, funny, and waged a fearless war against transphobia! GLAAD found them more like drag queens, which I guess are still the Rosa Parkses of the gay community, no matter how many advances they make in the mainstream media.
Well, now they've decided that in order to praise Chely Wright, the country star who got a renewed burst of fame by coming out, they need to diminish Ellen DeGeneres.
