They didn’t have a category “So Obviously Making A Desperate Bid For Ratings By Introducing Token Homosexual Content”?
What. Nothing for Dantes Cove, phew !
Gees, U think people would be happy supporters get recognised.
I think Bro and Sis does represent GLAAD issues. Not all shows portray these characters in a positive light!
GLAAD awards are pretty sad, every year it’s basically a search for anyone who’s been remotely supportive of the gay community and when the outstanding drama award goes to Brother & Sisters, well, nuff said right?
I’m glaad Joy Behar got the award and Brothers and Sisters
“Pawnee Zoo” Parks and Recreation
