Powell Declines To Give Big Lift To Obama
Painting That Ridicules S. Africa's President Is Defaced
Janet Jackson is one of the chosen few to be wholly accepted by the gay community.
Well, at least for this year.
The pop music icon/actress will receive a special award from GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) during their 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, which will be given out this spring.
The 'That's the Way Love Goes' chanteuse is one of two singers to be honored for their work this past year. The other is Rufus Wainwright.
Each year GLAAD -- an organization that monitors how gays and lesbians are depicted in the media – honors networks, television shows and celebrities during four ceremonies to be held in Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco and southern Florida. (Dates and venues are: March 17 at the Marriott Marquis in New York, April 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida, April 26 at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles and May 10 at the San Francisco Marriott in San Francisco.) Jackson, who releases her new album 'Discipline' on Feb. 26, is expected to be honored at the Los Angeles event.
"This year's extraordinary nominees exemplify the important strides we have made as a community toward creating a truly inclusive society," GLAAD President Neil Giuliano said in a statement.
Among networks, ABC led nominees with nine nods; among the shows up for honors are 'Ugly Betty' and 'Desperate Housewives.'
The nominees were announced at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah on Jan. 20.

Black Americans are retarded. I've been to 21 countries and never have I seen such disappointing blacks as these bloggers posted here. Like the NAACP, GLAAD represents an oppressed group that has found inspiration in Janet Jackson and wants to honor her for her work and inspiration. Why can't black Americans be proud of that? Don't respond. I know the answer: because you're stupid and can't spell wholesome.

WHY DO THE MEDIA KEEP CALLING THESE PEOPLE "GAY" ? ? CALL THE SODOMITES OR HOMOSEXUALS, THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE. IF YOU MUST LABEL, BE CORRECT.
