Vince McMahon may have been joking around on Raw, but his comments from Monday night have upset GLAAD. The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has posted on their blog that they are upset that Vince McMahon “belittled” the Cirque du Soleil performers that appeared on Monday Night Raw by saying that the masks they were wearing were “really gay”. Here are some of the highlights…
# “McMahon here wasn’t implying the performers were gay, however, he used the term in a derogatory manner. It’s just another example of how people throw around the word “gay” derisively.”
# “This came from the leader of a $500 million-plus organization who holds a lot of power in what he says and what he does.”
# “WWE programming reaches 16 million viewers each week. McMahon needs to understand that the words he uses and how he uses them can greatly affect people’s lives.”

I'm sure Vince breifly saying almost under his breath "That's gay" isn't going to affect people. Hopefully Vince won't be pressured to rate WWE TV-G. (Second part is joke only, so you don't need to b-tch about it.)

Well, those "if you mean something is lame or stupid, don't say it's gay, knock it off" commercials are STUPID AS HELL, so it's kind of cool to see it blow back.. Like,  these people that are being obnoxious pricks. Quit trying to stand out. Just be gay and live with it.. We get it, you're different. sake. |

Yeah as soon as he said it I was like "Oh No, Vince". I kinda knew this would come back on him. Least he can't fire someone over it.

f*** I'm sick of GLAAD. As soon as Vince said it I knew this was going to happen. It was a harmless remark.

How ironic - Vince has been doing everything he can to keep PG and he still gets heat, on his Birthday too LOL.

There's a big difference between saying "that's so gay." and saying "I hate gay people."

They're probably still pissed that they went for the whole "publicity stunt" angle with the Chuck and Billy wedding. Didn't they give those guys a flowered gravy bowl or something? I remember WWE showing clips of them on a talk show, promoting the wedding episode of Smackdown and the host gave them the gift courtesy of GLAAD.
