[...] GLAAD is not alone in finding Hall’s language problematic. John Wright from The Dallas Voice, a Texas-based LGBT media source wrote the following: [...]

“…….all these plots against you by some horrid gay cartel funded by corporate bigwigs who want to control the world.”

Well Tammye, the last time I checked, this is the same “horrid gay cartel funded by corporate bigwigs” which pays handsome advertising and sponsorship dollars to the Dallas Voice and its community partner organizations……………

Your above response, though laden with colloquialism, is not surprising under the circumstances. I mean, I wouldn’t have expected any less from such a “professional” senior editor of a paper………………

Dear Censored Reader:
Learn to stay on topic in your comments and stop attacking people, and you won’t have to worry about being “censored.” Read your freakin’ terms and conditions and abide by them.
It makes me laugh out loud to see you lecturing anybody about “professionalism.” And just for the record, neither John NOR I ever “recruit” people to comment for us. And to suggest that we do shows quite plainly that you don’t know either of us. And again for the record, my “cronies” consist of my wife, our two kids, my best friend from childhood and a couple of people who not only have nothing to do with the LGBT community, but aren’t even gay. And we are not holding secret meetings to plot about how to disenfranchise you (how could I try to disenfranchise you when I have no idea who you are?)
You truly need to grow up and get a life and stop inventing all these plots against you by some horrid gay cartel funded by corporate bigwigs who want to control the world. Trust me honey, I have enough trouble just maintaining some semblance of control over the pets in my own house. I have no desire whatsoever to control the world, or even the LGBT community.
And by the way, we DO take responsibility for the content of the print and online versions of Dallas Voice and the Instant Tea blog. Haven’t you noticed that we actually put our REAL NAMES on what we write?

OK John, but if you all are expecting her and her editor to take responsibility for “offensive” remarks, lest face more retaliatory comments from you as the be-all-tell- all of “gay” media then I think its only fair that both you and Tammye start taking responsibility for some the horrible discriminatory and offensive attacks and censorship that you both condone at the DV to filter out information that you both don’t want people in our community to know about…………

And by the way, it would show some degree of professionalism if you both engaged in your own debates rather than recruiting relaliatory commentors (cronies) on here to do your dirty work for you, as so clearly evident above…………….how unbecoming

Dallas Morning News writer Cheryl Hall responding to comments on DMN site under her story:
“Mea Culpa…I’ve changed the offending phrase which was used unintentionally. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.”

Correction, the pronoun usage of the above comment was incorrect since the original journalist was female, so those references should be “she” and not “he” -CR

Your response is so hypocritical John…………..

First, you attack a journalist becuse he didn’t use a term that YOU thought was appropriate, but how funny that you wish to dictate to that same DMN journalist that he should use EXCLUSIVE and DISCRIMINATORY terms such as “gay” and “lesbian” ONLY !! Well, what happened to the bisexual and transgendered folks in your equation ??? I guess they are not included in the status quo “gay” media dictionary. How sad that you and other journalists only use the terms “gay” and “lesbian” when describing our community instead of using the acronym GLBT……………….

And by the way, how is Raphael McDonnell’s opinion bear any relevance to a journalistic issue ?? Is he a journalist for the DMN ?? Or just another RCD crony whom you want to name in the “gay” paper………………………

Maybe next week the DMN will do a story about Rosie O’Donnell and her separation from her “gay lover”.
