GLAAD Nominates Atlanta Journal-Constitution For 'Outstanding' Use Of '->-bleeped-<-,' Ignoring Pride

http://www.queerty.com/glaad-nominates-atlanta-journal-constitution-for-outstanding-use-of-->-bleeped-<--ignoring-pride-20110120/

We've already noted that all it takes to get a GLAAD Media Award nomination is to spit out some piece of gay-related content of middling quality, which explains why GLAAD gave Burlesque the only award nomination it'll receive — not counting its bribe-y Golden Globe nomination — besides its Razzie. But how does that explain GLAAD's "Outstanding Newspaper Overall Coverage" selection of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, a newspaper that has both ignored Atlanta's LGBT Pride celebrations (among the largest in the state and country) as well as the community at large, notes GA Voice. Oh, and then there's AJC's use of the word "->-bleeped-<-" in an article, a practice GLAAD expressly forbids in its style guide.
