The GLAAD Media Awards Were on Saturday

The GLAAD media awards (that is, gay and lesbian alliance against defamation) were held on Saturday and guess who was a speaker? That's right, our very own T.R Knight, also known as Doctor George O'Malley. T.R spoke about Lawrence King and Sammie Williams Jr., who were murdered for their sexual preference. T.R also shed light on a Sally Kern, Oklahoma State Representative, who has been quoted as saying that the 'homosexual agenda' is responsible for destroying our nation and has compared gay and lesbian men and women to terrorists.

In addition, T.R Knight observed the annual day of Silence on April 25th, 2008. The day is in honor of those gay and lesbian men and women who have been silenced over the years by oppression and hate crimes. The point is to vow to stay silent all day to emphasize just how loud their forced silence is. Though I did not participate this year, I was active in the day of silence every year in high school. Way to go, T.R Knight. It is a wonderful thing you are doing, bringing attention to the silent oppressed. The fight is not over until those like Sally Kern realize the extent of their ignorance.


Isn't he just such a cutie?
