Joy Behar and Michelangelo Signorile discussed the controversy surrounding GLAAD's response to the use of the word "tra**y" in a recent Glee episode.

Last week, GLAAD issued a statement saying the popular and gay-friendly show hit "the wrong note" in using "the defamatory word tra**y" in its Rocky Horror Picture Show episode. Actress Susan Sarandon later said that GLAAD was being too hard on Glee, but the media watchdog organization suggested that reports had sensationalized her comments.
