You know, because Hollywood is so anti-gay.
HOLLYWOOD, July 1, 2013 – Unhappy with “problematic” portrayals of transgender characters on fictional CBS television shows, homosexual activist group GLAAD recently descended on the network’s headquarters to air their complaints in a meeting attended by CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler and at least a dozen senior executives.
The meeting was led by Nick Adams, who was born female but is living as a man, and currently serves as GLAAD’s Associate Director of Communications.
In Adams’ view, getting positive TV coverage for transgender people is critical because “the vast majority of Americans have no personal connection to someone who is transgender, so they rely solely on the media for information.”
Adams gave a presentation on transgenderism to the CBS brass, then played clips from recent CBS programming that GLAAD believes promote an “anti-trans” bias.
GLAAD suggested ways that network execs could alter storylines in the future to be more affirming of the transgender lifestyle.
“GLAAD is hopeful that this meeting will encourage more inclusive, sophisticated, and realistic portrayals of trans people on CBS, and we’re committed to working with the network to ensure that happens,” said Matt Kane, GLAAD’s Associate Director of Entertainment Media.
