GLAAD Responds to Bilerico and The Cleveland Show
November 30, 2009 by Taj Paxton, GLAAD's Director of Entertainment Media
http://glaadblog.org/2009/11/30/glaad-responds-to-bilerico-and-the-cleveland-show/This morning, Bilerico blogged about the Novemeber 22 episode of The Cleveland Show, "A Brown Thanksgiving," and GLAAD's perceived lack of a response to the episode. We had reached out to Fox and the show's producers, prior to Bilerico's blog, to schedule a meeting. This is part of an ongoing discussion that GLAAD is having with Fox regarding consistent homophobic and transphobic jokes in some of its animated programming. The problematic transgender episode Bilerico points to is one of several instances that the Entertainment Team will be discussing with them, as well as advocating for more fair LGBT inclusion.
