GLAAD isn't so GLAD after all

Lucas Blog: "GLAAD is the most hypocritical organization. They are supposed to represent us properly in the media, but they always fail, even at their awards show.

This is the most sterile group, absolutely not interested in highlighting our community, diverse as it is. They want to run around and lie to the world that the gay community is made up of middle-class, clean cut professionals with a bunch of lipstick lesbians thrown in. And of course, it's good when they are already accepted mainstream celebrities, even better, if they own some children purchased from ebay.

Neither Colton Ford nor myself nor Amanda Lepore are allowed on their high stage, because we are considered freaks to this organization. Sure, they will take our money at any time, as they did in the past. But I just refuse to attend because what the gay community is and what they are trying to portray is like night and day.

I embrace the reality of the gay community, not the conservative portrait of the ideal American gay that they have invented for the media. By the way, did I mention that the president of GLAAD is a Republican? Isn't that ridiculous! The whole to-do reminds me of the Stepford Wives when they were trying to deprogram the gay man.

I don't think that straight people are buying what they are selling, and I don't think straight people need this made-up idea of what a gay man is. The world should strive to embrace us as diverse as we are. Always remember that those who do not blend in or look like others are the most attacked and in the most need of defense. The Wall-street guys in their designer suits at the GLAAD shows are not the ones in the greatest danger."
