Brought To You By The AFA and GLAAD...

The American Family Association has a long history of inciting riots against "pro-gay" companies. They've got their on-and-off hate affair with Wal-Mart. And of course there's their "victorious" campaign against Ford's dalliance with GLAAD.

But how do the "traditional" family focused rabble rousers know which brands to brand enemies of their fundamentalist state? They subject themselves to hours and hours of gay-endorsed television, of course. The group's project summary:

Between February 11 through May 5, American Family Association monitored the top eight prime-time network programs featuring lead or supporting homosexual characters. These programs were specifically identified by the activist-homosexual group GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) as GLAAD Media Award winners, or as showcasing leading or supporting homosexual characters.
Of the eight shows - The Simpsons, ER, The Office, The Class, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty and Grey's Anatomy - four air on the Disney-owned ABC. That means the AFA's going to have to add the media giant to its list of offenders, which already includes Ford, Verizon and Quaker Oats. The AFA's got quite a battle ahead.

If they're really serious about taking down fag-friendly firms, AFA members should again take GLAAD's advice: the media watch dog has a rundown of all the gay pride month televisuals.

HBO has fallen off in recent years: first "Sex and The City" ended it's run, then "The Sopranos" descended into unbearable madness, and now this. Everyone's favorite shit rag parasite Kevin Federline has reportedly signed on for three episodes of "Entourage" to play a....well, shit rag parasite.

The ability to laugh at oneself is an admirable trait, but we're sure K-Fed's not laughing. He probably considers himself one of the greatest entertainers of our day. Too bad he's just a glorified sperm bank. If only we could go back in time and save Britney Spears.

• A country other than the U.S. bans blood donation by gays, but not because they believe gays to be carriers of HIV, rather they just think gays are filthy and they have only the black blood of sin running through their veins. Oh, Russia. [UK Gay News]

• Muslims and gays in Britain may actually have a conversation: in five years. [Pink News]

• The Catholic Governor of Virginia won't sign a bill enabling a vote on an anti-gay marriage amendment because he believes in equal domestic partner benefits. We are touched, but the amendment will come to a vote with or without his signature. [WVEC]
