Homo Dear GLAAD: Leave Susan Sarandon ALOOOOOONE!
Posted by Dan Savage on Tue, Nov 9, 2010 at 3:14 PM
Rocky Horror star Susan Sarandon thinks the controversy over Glee's usage of the word "tranny" is overblown.... GLAAD fires back: "The word 'tra—y' has become an easy punch line in popular culture and many still don't realize that using the term is hurtful, dehumanizing and associated with violence."
Have you seen this?
There are just too many queers out there—including awesome trannies like Murray Hill here—using the word "tranny" with humor and pride and without a moment's thought or hesitation for you guys to keep up this "tra—y" bullshit. If Glee and Susan Sarandon are our the enemies, GLAAD, we might as well pack it in.
