While I was on the road last night from Las Vegas (where NetRoots Nation 2010 was held) to San Diego (the city I call home sweet home), Fox Television re-aired a problematic Family Guy episode that they had promised the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) and the transgender community that they would not air again.

From the glaadBLOG's Fox Planning to Re-Air Problematic Episode of Family Guy:

    In May, Fox aired a highly offensive episode of Family Guy in which Quagmire's dad transitioned to become a woman named Ida and featured numerous jokes that were offensive to the transgender community. GLAAD reached out to Fox and asked that the episode not re-air. Despite this, GLAAD has learned that Fox will re-air the "Quagmire's Dad" episode of Family Guy this Sunday, July 25.
