GLAAD Wins The First Annual GLAGG Award
by Greg GutfeldOn January 7, 2009, the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) identified the worst anti-gay and anti-transgender voices of 2008. Among those on the list? Greg Gutfeld.
Otherwise known as, me.
Gutfeld was placed on the list because, among other things, on his show (Redeye) a sex change was described as “turning a hole into a pole.”
And so for giving that award to Greg, GLAAD wins the first ever GLAGG (GAYS AND LESBIANS AGAINST GREG GUTFELD) trophy, for – among other things – being against me.
And not in a good way.
“When I went through their list of anti-gay voices,” says Gutfeld, “I noticed who was missing: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, a man who advocates proactive persecution of gays. Also missing – Islamic fundamentalists in general, who preach death for gays, lesbians, and anyone who masturbates on a holy day. GLAAD didn’t even have the balls to list certain religious minorities who voted for Prop 8 – or Scientologists who think you can deprogram homosexuality!
“Apparently, GLAAD only speaks truth to power if the ‘power’ is harmless.”
Hence, the intolerant, anti-Greg sentiment.
GLAGG repeatedly called GLAAD’s offices for a response.
“Wow, Greg is right – we are cowards,” says GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano, if he happened to answer the phone calls. “After issuing a major press release regarding the list, we ran scared. But why be surprised? We prefer safe targets like Greg – and are too scared to confront real homophobia. The fact that we call Gutfeld anti-gay simply because we disagree with his politics makes us guilty of intolerance too. Worse, we’re boring. I mean, the whole list was made up of conservatives! And a Proposition – which can’t even fight back!”
The GLAGG award can be picked up in Bryant Park between 3 and 4 am – stall six. Remember to whistle “Smalltown Boy,” when entering.
Note: we’ve contacted GLAAD a number of times to do Red Eye, but no response. If you want GLAAD on Redeye to defend their bigotry, email their press office at GLAAD.org.

Bingo, this is right on the money. Speaking truth to power like this is as brave as marching into a Hollywood party and announcing that Bush is a moron.
“Gutfeld was placed on the list because, among other things, on his show (Redeye) a sex change was described as “turning a hole into a pole.” ”
Oh, Greg. They just don’t understand your fondness for rhymes.
I’m gay and “turning a hole into a pole” had me in stitches. Those humorless queens need to get a life.
Now excuse me, while I go hide my “gay card” so the Pink Mafia can’t find it to take it away.
I apologize if this message appears twice.
(rolls eyes) I remember when GLAAD practically extorted money from Kevin Smith because they were “horrified” by all the gay jokes in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, nevermind the fact that Smith made a good gay-themed film, Chasing Amy. Way to pick your battles, GLAAD! (And I’m pro-gay marriage, too.)

Greg, you lovable mutt. How true it is that our left-leaning whining gay Democrat mouthpieces go after you, Mormons, Catholics, SUVs and California voters but never people like Mahmoud “Moe” Ahmadinejad and other terrorists. They don’t even say anything bad about Castro, and he definitely does not like gays.
Consider yourself in great company. You are hated by the best and the blindest.
Awesome! Finally, someone willing to stand up to the hypocritical gay, lesbian, tranny, bi, bi-curious crowd who consistently ignore the real persecutions of gays around the world. During WWII, they’d have railed against the US gov’t for not allowing gays to openly serve in the Army, while turning a blind eye to Nazi’s marching their compatriots to the gas chambers. Homosexuals are executed in Iran – they’re merely inconvenienced occasionally here.
Awesome post, as usual.
More brilliant Gutfeld hilarity — and on the money shot
Though I’m still not sure whether I should for or against Proposition GLAGG, and I’ve given it seconds of thought.
I’d warn Greg to watch his back, but warned against that very obvious gag only yesterday.
Greg, you need to borrow Fox’s Griff Jenkins to send him in on a kamikaze mission to GLAAD headquarters to get a comment from their leadership on their new award, the way he went into the moonbat pile during the DNC convention in Denver last year (I’d say send Bill Shultz in to GLAAD headquarters to get the information, but we all know if you do that, he’s not coming back out for 3-4 days at the earliest).
I always thought the funniest way to describe a female into male operation was when Rush called it an “addadictomy.”
Greg, great post, I love it!!! Had me in stitches and is a great way to start the day. Keep ‘em coming!
For a group who wants to be known as “gay” and “glaad”, they certainly are a surly bunch. If they are so GAY and GLAAAAAAAD you’d think they’d posses a modicum of humor. People defame me every day and I get a huge kick out of it. Some folks just don’t appreciate the little joys in life.
There are “NO gays in Iran”, GLAAD.
Ya know why?
I think you do.
wait… Ack-Demi-Jihad said there were no gays in Iran because they did not have this problem. So I hardly think he’s anti-gay! If there are no gays around, you can’t just judge him!
Great post, Greg. And your column was pretty nice too. Oh….did I mention your writing?
Was “Anyone who wears a Che Guevarra T-shirt” on thier list? I doubt it.
When Ahmadinejad said “there are no homosexuals in Iran” he was actually telling the truth.
When you murder them all, it’s safe to assume that there are none.
Another excellent post Greg. Keep up the good work!
Hey Greg awesome. I think my new favorite quote is turning a hole into a pole. And now I can be called a Homophobe to. Awesome.
Dust : Only 3 or 4 days?
You don’t give Bill enough credit.
Odds are Greg would need to find a new sidekick and GLAAD would start a new religion.
That list is so gay…
As a gay man with a sense of humor, and common sense, I appreciate Greg for being all that he can be. I am a closeted Red Eye viewer here in San Francisco, and have enjoyed every minute of it. Keep it up Greg (no pun intended). Awesome post!
Awwww, Greg. You’re not harmless. Redeye has done a great deal of damage to me emotionally, spiritually and physically.
Don’t be so hard on yourself.
I’m sure nobody is more proud of Greg than his father.
I hope if I ever have a son he ticks the gays off too
hey, its better than the alternative
If anyone doubts Greg’s support of gays then go to that stall in Bryant Park, and I bet you’ll be convinced otherwise… and possibly dead.
“That list is so gay.”
Oh dear, don’t say that at Queens University in Canada or the conversation cops will re-educate you.
http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/story.html?id=987741
That’s so liberal, i.e., nuts.
Yet more silliness from the loonbats. I see nothing gay about their tantrums. I would think that if you’re gonna dress up like wonder woman, then at least have a sense of humor for pete’s sake. And Greg, I think it would be more politically correct if you asked for Richard!
“Red Eye” has always been about mocking political correctness. Those GLAAD types need to er, man up.
GLAAD would call Greg a gay advocate if he were a lib.
Red Eye is by far the most gay friendly show on cable news.
Greg,
They better put that arch-nemesis Brit Jeremy Clarkson of Top Gear fame on their list. He too takes liberties with “alternative” lifestyles.
On a serious note, I wonder if they did put folks like Ahmadinjad (whatever his name is) on the list, would a fatwa be issued against them?
and you sir… are worse than Hitler!
So, does being gay now cost you your sense of humor?
Greg, you rock my socks off.
Hole into a pole HAHAHHA!!! Although I always preferred the term, popularized by Rush, of referring to it as an “addadictomy”.
They’re here, they’re Queer — we’re used to it. Now shut the F up!
Homophobia, what a weird word: scared of mankind, scared of “homo” sex, fear of having sex with person of the same sex, fear of being forced to have sex with a person of the same sex, fear of being forced to watch sex between people of the same sex? Just what the … is it?
Like I said to someone who called me a homophobe. The only person I know who’s scared of sex is the next person you happen to be doing it to. Oh by the way, why was I called a homophobe? Not because I’ve ever voiced an opinion on the issue (I work at a university), not because I’ve picketed, held up signs or called names, none of that. It’s simply because I’m conservative. Usually it goes chauvinist, bigot, homophobe, but I had to settle for just one of the triad. I guess they were concerned about global warming and releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. Funny, all I did was say a positive word about McCain. Curious though, why Obama is not called a homophobe even though he’s against same-sex marriage.
Greg, consider it an honor…
I hate qualifying before I say these things, “I’m gay, and here’s what I think about this…” but I’m gay, and GLAAD is one of the worst gay organizations. They’re really embarrassing. The people running it and other groups like them have no sense of humor or irony whatsoever, and a massive sense of entitlement.
They’re almost as bad as Greg Gutfeld…! Who is worse than Hitler!
Oh, hypocrisy. Whatever keeps Hollywood happy, I guess. The same people whom they accuse of being closed-minded cannot take a joke and lack a sense of humor.
I just noticed an ad displaying on the same page as this post for “Gay Millionaire Dating.” The picture looked sort of like Greg but better looking and more gay.
Clearly the algorithms that display the ads cannot discern Greg’s clear anti-gayness.
Personally, I think the Greg’s group should change their name to just “Gays Against Greg.” The whole lesbian, bi, transgender thing is implied and GAG just gives that extra something.
Greg, Maybe if your show was called “brown eye” GLAAD would come on your show.
Gutfeld, you keep me laughing. Kudos to you.
GLAAD is not glad and does not speak for all homosexuals. Oh, yeah, caan’t forget lesbians, trannies, bi-, bears, cubs, bean queens, hermaphrodites and himmaphrodites, leathers and the ever-growing collective of niche groups gaathering under the victim umbrella held aloft by GLAAD. Whew. anywaay, the line, “hole into a pole” would craack ‘em all up if delivered by a draag queen at a Silver Laake Sunday aafternoon beer bust. I wish I’d come up with thaat one. Unfortunately, thaat faamous gaay sense of humor dies when certain members of superior organizaations pull on their righteous tighties and assume the role of moraal arbiter for a group. You don’t speak for me, GLAAD, and that makes me very gla…, er… HAPPY!
Damn straight, Greg. These abominations of the Lord (the Bible’s words, not mine) are scared of confronting anything, especially LEGITIMATE targets.
One other point, though. If you hate homosexuality (hate the sin, not the sinner), it does not make you “homophobic”. No one I have ever met in my entire life has been scared of gay people. They simply disagree with their CHOICE of lifestyle.
I love the intelligence and wit of Gutfeld. Brilliant!
Did Greg expect the GLAAD types to just bend over and take it?
Don’t EVER EVER criticize those who primarily identify themselves to the rest of the human race by what they do with their genitals publicly.
Didn’t you know this Greg?
Gutfeld was placed on the list because, among other things, on his show (Redeye) a sex change was described as “turning a hole into a pole.”
Funny…I thought maybe it was the reach around joke.
BTW, the preferred term is “Frankenstein D*ck”.
WTG Greg. That piece is hysterical. So is GLAAD…..in a different way, of course.
I think anti-gay rhetoric has no place in the conservative movement. I am not a big fan of gay right groups, but they have a right to protect themselves against defamation.
I was hoping they’d boycott First AME church, but no dice.
Immature jabs at gay people don’t help conservatives win any converts. There are gay people with conservative views that should be included in the conservative tent.
Oh, so the Bible says so, eh Matthew Harper? The same Bible that also forbids eating shellfish? Or the Bible that says that the world is only 6,000 years old? When setting social policy, you need a better reason for some laws and/or regulations other than “because my God says so”. That kind of thinking makes you no better than the Taliban, if one wanted to take it to the extreme.
Palin 2012, you’re actually right. Considering that the younger generation of voters doesn’t have the abject fear of homosexuality that older GOPers seem to, your party runs the risk of making your tent even smaller as the years pass. Cultural paranoia is not a prescription for long term electoral success.
For crying out loud. This site is in desperate need of a new theme. In the mere two weeks of your existence you have completely mined the topic of anti-conservative discrimination. The well has run dry. It has an endless whinning screed of innocuous greivences that you people are forever suffering. This site has become the temple of the cult of victimhood at its most transparent.
Are you honestly claiming that you were not being deliberatly offensive when you used the term “turning a hole into a pole”? Are you actually trying to convince us that you are surprised that anyone anyone would take offense to such an innocent comment? Do you actually take exception to their press release describing your comment as “sophmoric”?
You are not the victim of anything. The premise is ludicrous.
And it’s a list of anti-gay voices in the media. That’s why it doesn’t list jihadists.
Palin 2012, you’re so gay.
If you don’t watch Red Eye, then you are a bad human being.
I’ll never buy another plastic bag from them again. hehe
A hole into a pole. You’re so fine!
As a Gay man who has NEVER made a “choice” to be Gay I say Congratulations Greg and wear the award as a badge of honor. I recently asked a Gay “spokesperson” for a GLBT organization in West Hollywood, California, when they had the election? When he asked “what election?” I replied the one that gave him and other GLBT “spokespeople” the right to harrass, condemn, abuse, boycott, etc. anyone who dares criticise anybody, including Gays, who may have an alternative POV. Of course there was no vote for them to represent people like me and no poll to see if Gays agree or disagree with them. These pink Fascists claim they represent ALL Gays and only self loathing homosexuals or homophobes would dare criticise their radical agenda that talks much about equality and democracy but, in fact, allows no dissent or debate. Witness what happened after they lost Prop 8. The anger, violence and intolerance shown towards those who had exercised their democratic right to vote as their conscience allowed was a revelation of just how intolerant those who shriek about tolerance can be. And it gets crazier. In a recent anti-Israel demonstration there was a Gay grouop carrying a banner supporting Hezbollah, an organization that would hang them from cranes or stone them to death!!!! Like I said Greg …wear the award with pride.
I must be a bigot for thinking sex change operations are inherently funny. I mean, I have a lot of gay friends, I’ve been to a million gay bars, have heard too many stories with WAAAAAY too much info … even suffered through a lesbian poetry slam and am supportive of gay marriage but the whole idea of turning a pole into a hole is goddamned hilarious. I mean except when they’re cuddling for political clout my gay friends can’t even stand lesbians (and vice versa) so I find the idea that they too fail to find sex changers to be a triple scoop of weird and pretty damned funny hard to believe.
[JDE Spirito said....Was “Anyone who wears a Che Guevarra T-shirt” on thier list? I doubt it.]
Greg, I’d like to officially request a ‘Che Guevarra & Steven Soderbergh on a unicorn’ drawing for the show. C’mon, you know you want to do it.
Greg – you OWE me a screen wipe. And a new keyboard after I spewed over it! Damn, ‘hole into a pole’ is hilarious!
BTW, Greg, you now have another ‘award’. Your very own lurker. Yup, ‘Rusty James’. Greg, you should be honored. That guy only whines and spews and wets his diapers over the best. So when Rusty squats to squirt on your latest missive – well, that’s a sign that you, Greg, are the MAN!
Way to go!
(And Rusty? Just go. Anywhere.)
OMG Rusty is back? AWESOME! Greg I suggest finding out now about a restraining order concerning Rusty. No really…heh. My hubby laughed at the hole into a pole statement and I’d like to borrow it. Can I?
Carolyn a ‘lurker’ is someone who reads but doesnt’ post.
Why he need a restraining order? Explain.
Well Rusty, a stalker is usually someone who looks (follows) but doesn’t talk. I’m guessing that’s what she meant.
Whatever Greg, we all know your a power bottom.
Greg, That was as funny as your “Redeye” show. That formula fits with all of the left leaning organizations. No stones.
P.S. I hope PAB is on your show more often!
“Ask for Dick.”
HA! Greg, is that your tan manservant?

Rusty Des, apparently you both came over to troll together…how sweet. Will tehre be an announcement soon? Who will be invited? Just asking.
==Oh, so the Bible says so, eh Matthew Harper? The same Bible that also forbids eating shellfish?==
Where does this apply to those who are born again?
== Or the Bible that says that the world is only 6,000 years old? ==
Where does He say this?
==When setting social policy, you need a better reason for some laws and/or regulations other than “because my God says so”.==
Who says we need “a better reason”?
== That kind of thinking makes you no better than the Taliban…==
Nice piece of fiction there.
==As a Gay man who has NEVER made a “choice” to be Gay…==
You may be unaware of the choice, or you know of the choice you made and you wish to trick everybody else into thinking that you didn’t choose.
Well the self mutilation is finally complete and I’m now using a turkey baster to inject my hormones.
Anyway, thought I’d drop by and say hi. Tootles…ehem…I mean, later dude.
Greg, loved the “hole into a pole” remark, and love reading your colums.
Hey, guess what, I even laugh at jokes that make fun of people like me, female Christian conservatives. There sure are a lot more of those than LGBT-LSMFT jokes!
What part of “relax and be able to laugh at yourself” does GLAAD not understand?
Hey, they can’t go after Imanutinadinnerjacket, he’s one of the good guys.
Also speaking as a gay man, “turning a hole into a pole” is funny. And there are a lot of humourless political activists, including among the GBLTI activists.
Which is particularly weird, if one thinks about it, since wit and humour has been many a queen’s best defense.
This sort of humourless picking on a “soft” target is precisely the sort of thing that websites such as the Independent Gay Forum have a go at regularly ( http://www.indegayforum.com/ ).
But could folk get away from the “choice of lifestyle” nonsense. I will tell you all about the day I “chose” to be homosexual when you can tell me all about the day you “choose” to be heterosexual. With all the songs, poems, stories, etc people tell, sing, recite, compose about sex and love, the one thing they never talk about is the moment when people “choose” to fancy the opposite sex, their own sex, or both sexes, because no one has that moment.
Lorenzo, I certainly can’t speak for you (nor would I be so arrogant as to even think about trying), but I know people who lived heterosexual lives for a long time, then “decided” they were gay. Others go back and forth like the wind. For some it may be that either sex is fine and it’s just the person they love. For others, it may be something traumatic that pushed them to believe they had been mistaken in what they so firmly believed (and suddenly they “remember” always feeling off).
I dated a lovely woman who very easily could have been gay, and was unbelievably attracted to women. She never acted on it, but I am very sure that she could be happy living that lifestyle, if it was more socially acceptable (she was always very concerned about her ex-husband using it to damage her parental rights). I have absolutely no dog in the gay marriage hunt, but I am firmly in the camp of equal rights for everyone, no matter what form it takes. I just hope that at some point we can find something that everyone can live with and move on to more important things.
I have to stand up for Lorenzo here (but don’t get any ideas there Twinkle Toes).
At least for men, going gay CANNOT be a choice. Have you ever seen the back end of another man, especially one that is bent over, and harry??!!!
uggghhh. It’s gotta be some mega-strong urges that make THAT look appealing.
Kinda like making romance with a sheep. Right Rusty?
Way to go Greg! Keep it up! We Love You!
==…could folk get away from the “choice of lifestyle” nonsense.==
No, and it’s not nonsense.
== I will tell you all about the day I “chose” to be homosexual when you can tell me all about the day you “choose” to be heterosexual.==
Oh, THAT ol’ propaganda cliché again.
God chose hterosexuality for all. Some chose homosexuality for themselves.
==…going gay CANNOT be a choice.==
But it CAN, and it IS.
I have not seen the list but i surmise since prop 8 made it, I’m sure Biden and Obama were on it as well since their against gay marriage. And on that note, I wonder why Ellen Degeneres likes Obama so much since the President Elect does not believe she should be allowed to be married along with the majority of Californians. I guess his “dancing” makes up for his homophobia.
Hilarious! Maybe you’d better get bodyguards, Greg. The Nude Free Men might come after you.
Can we please have the word “gay” back now? I greatly resent the theft of that word by a small bunch of humorless, sour types. I want to celebrate “a gay old time” with my family again, without generating a homosexual reference.
People, people, people! And you too, Greg. Only when we cease to listen to these heterophobes and stop giving them press will this whole ridiculous movement die. For some reason there are always those on the fringe of any movement who decide they have to push the envelope and go overboard. This usually serves to alienate people who have otherwise been supporters of their cause. Redeye has had more “gay” guests and segments than any other show of which I am aware. Ted Casablancas is always a delight, mainly because he has a damn sense of humor about himself and being “gay.” I suppose he is probably being ostracized by many in the “gay” community just for being on Redeye. Everyone just needs to lighten up (and not just in the loafers) and live and let live. To omit a villain such as Ahmadinejad from the list but include Greg is beyond ludicrous. GLAAD needs to be a little more “real” about identifying whom their true enemies are. Now let’s all have a group hug and make up, shall we?
Greg is so politically correct; p.c. that is; how can this diverse group of happy and gay people do this to this man?
Is it because he is a MAN? Is that why he is getting a GLAAD BAG? Or is it because of his GlAAD bag. hmmmmmmmmmmmm and if you agree with GLAAD you sir, are worse than HITLER….
your gal pal,
Elaine ME
You can have “gay” back when you pry it from my cold, dead tongue, Joan. I have stopped calling heterosexuals “straight,” because they clearly are not.
God didn’t create me. My parents did.
Oh, and before you try to pigeonhole me into your preconceived notions, I voted for McCain. I despise the Boy-King and his sheep-like followers as much as you do if not more. I also hate GLAAD and saw nothing wrong with Greg’s remarks. I don’t think sexual orientation (NOT choice) and gender identity disorder should be lumped together. And don’t any of you dare pull that Christian propaganda on this Jew.
Thank you Palin 2012 for saying what needed to be said. Homophobia (and don’t use semantics to argue it away, like Jew-haters do with the phrase “anti-semitism” by arguing that Arabs are also semites) and its practitioners belong on the same fringes of society as Neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
==God didn’t create me. My parents did.==
They didn’t create you. They are merely in the mechanical production line God created and uses. God went through them to create you.
God created Man. Man didn’t create Man, and, thus, your parents didn’t create you.
One reason God uses a man, as husband, and a woman, as his wife, to create children is that this arrangement satisfies the template He created in the Garden and that the Word reiterates throughout. This marital union template simulates the “marriage” of Christ, the Groom, to His Church, the bride.
This is one reason God detests homosexuality and lifts up the union of a man, as husband, and a woman, as his wife; the husband and wife must produce Godly children just as the Church produces Godly “children.”
