New York Post: Gay Hating Rag

The New York Post once again proves it's a gay-hating rag. A week or two ago it ran a cartoon by gay-hater Sean Delonas (not his first anti-gay cartoon, mind you). The cartoon depicted openly gay former New Jersey Governor Jim McGreevey, envisioning himself to be "the rightful Miss N.J." and blackmailing the current scandalized holder of the title, Amy Polumbo. Clad in a bikini, high-heels, crown, and sash, McGreevey stands in a room holding a threat letter while a man waiting in bed is spotlighted in the background.

Now, the NY Post is a paper usually read by under-educated, boorish troglodytes who still tote bumperstickers declaring "Bush in 2004," so it's no surprise this rag panders to this group with things like anti-gay cartoons (God knows they only look at the pictures anyway). During New Jersey's debate on gay marriage, a Delonas cartoon depicted a man at a New Jesey marriage license window with a sheep under his arm.

We're pretty sure Delonas wouldn't indulge in the insulting stereotyping of blacks, Jews, hispanics, or other minorities in his cartoons (well, he probably would, but why end his career, not that he's the best cartoonist or anything). So, like the playground bully we had to deal with when we were kids, we now must deal with this bully.
The Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) has the story and the cartoons at their website, just Click Here.

So, go ahead and contact the following, and tell them what gay-hating idiots they are:
