Another year another boring irrelevant awards show. GLAAD has just announced the list of mainstream breeders, closet cases and unknown artists who have contributed to all the causes the LGBT organization feel are important to the issues they're trying to push forth, like we were all "Born This Way" and we all want to get married and adopt and be equal to boring and miserable ass straight people.
A few of my favorites, Like Modern Family, the musical group MEN, Chaz Bono, Ellen Degeneres, Rachel Maddow, Gun Hill Road, Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys, and Pariah were all nominated. Not so much for Lady Gaga, Glee, J. Edgar (which danced around the gay allegations) and that uptight closet case Anderson Cooper. Also a bit disappointed that there's no best hip hop category, since there are planty of great LGBT hip hop artists that dropped music within the past year. But then again, what do you expect from the white mainstream. How much you wanna bet this won't be airing on Logo?
