haha yeah.. 30 rock had a good gay episode.. one of my favorite episodes of that show
16 | JimHalpertIsLife Tue. Jan. 23, 2007 at 6:10pmi think the office totally deserves this award. i know i am surrounded by people at work and though they are kind, and for the most part openminded people, they have used the word “gay” the way michael does in this episode. (”that’s so gay”) at least, for me, its a pet peeve and sometimes it really bothers me. it was so refreshing to see t.v. were it was shown that using words like gay in a negative connotation is bad and makes you look ignorant. i think its well understood that michael is a guy with a kind heart but has little self awareness. he had no clue of how offensive he was being and by the end of the episode he did. also, note that characters like jim and pam (two favorites) don’t talk like that.
anywho, this just happened to be the first episode i watched (gay witch hunt) when i decided to give the american office a chance and i loved it. i knew immediately this was a show for me.
15 | Bananas Tue. Jan. 23, 2007 at 5:06pmI think it’s because Oscar himself is a very positive view on gays.
I wouldn’t mind seeing 30 rock winning for the Blind Date episode. Tina Fay and her bicurious-ness. :D
14 | Diana Tue. Jan. 23, 2007 at 4:17pmhaha duckydale, great call about grey’s.

12 | CrazyGringa Tue. Jan. 23, 2007 at 7:15amYay for The Office (and I hope V For Vendetta wins its catagory. I fraking love that movie)

10 | Chewsh Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 8:17pmI also saw that Grey’s was nominated. Didn’t realize that GLAAD awarded a category for biggest homophobe on a cast.

Anyways, the GLAAD nomination is really cool. I don’t completely understand it, but ok…

6 | Dino Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 1:16pmMaybe they mean the awkward kiss between Rick Bobby and the French guy. Is they name of category “Best awkward kisss between a stright man and a gay man?
5 | Angie Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 11:56amwell, i looked at the list of nominees - and it includes ‘talladega nights’. not exactly the best film protrayal of homosexuality.
4 | kate Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 9:54amThe clip they show in the video with all the nominees is from Gay Witch Hunt and shows Michael and Oscar kissing.
3 | Natalie Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 7:09amI’m assuming it’s for the episode Gay Witch Hunt, though, which did a good job of painting the lighter kind of ignorance that some gay people have to go through in their workplace
2 | Jay C Mon. Jan. 22, 2007 at 6:16amHaha um… sure, Oscar is on the show, I wouldn’t say he’s treated in the most “tolerant” way by his coworkers however.
