So while you may think parties are not a worthwhile use of their or our time, they provide an opportunity to highlight their work, which has spanned the decades and consistently been the public voice against homophobic representations in media. Anger is a valid emotion, but perhaps you should consider channelling that energy into something productive.

Do they do anything other than throw parties and events for celebrities or celebrity wannabes to make them feel good about having a few gay friends? So Levi's has an ad with two guys in it. Great, give them a fucking award and throw a party. What the fuck has GLAAD really done for us lately, I mean really? Fuck GLAAD.
