Is ‘NY Post’ Courting GLAAD?

transiran.jpg
GLAAD and The NY Post are forever warring.

The latest brouhaha comes after Rupert Murdoch’s daily ran a story about gender transitioning in Iran. As you can see, the title’s pretty inflammatory.

The Post must have known the gays would be on their print-soaked asses, so we can’t help but wonder if The Post has been using elementary taunts to woo the gay media watchdog. The paper is, after all, penned for people with a grade school education. (And that’s why we love it!)

“Inflammatory” headline? It’s clever; pure genius. Not offensive at all. What exactly is inflammatory about it?

GLAAD should pick its battles and stick to real instances of homophobia, not some petty nitpicking over politically correct wordplay.

If that Post headline is inflammatory toward gays, then Queerty should be shut down for its offensive portrayals.

GLAAD needs to get over itself. What was offensive ? They’re [probably mad that the POST doesn’t lick their boots and donate money.

I laughed my ass off when I read that on the subway this morning.

The Post commits much worse crimes of homophobia. GLADD is always fucking late and lame. Their only purpose is rewarding hets for their brave portrayals of lame gay stereotypes. ZZZZ

Some gay guys need to get a sense of humour instead of bitching about everything they read.
I`m gayer than Dolly Parton on steroids and I found this to be hilarious, do they really need to make such a fuss.
