New York Daily News made some ink-stained love with homo watchdog group GLAAD this week. The News garnered some GLAAD madness after running a headline reading Fooled john stabbed Bronx tranny". The gays raised such a stink that the paper changed its headline: "Slain transgendered neighbor 'a friend of whole building,' Bronx man says". When the News changes something, they really change something. The victim went from hooking tranny to prom queen. Incredible! [GLAAD]

Ummm…. the second headline mention was for a follow-up story the next day….
If you actually read the article though, it was very transphobic. They may have made the headline friendlier but they did not change the content. The trans victim was constantly referred to as "he" and character assassination was involved.
