I'm the same way about this show and GLADD getting BBD's in a bunch as I am about the AKA's losing their green & pink cardigans over Sorority Sisters. Its reality TV, the carnival freak show of the media landscape. Did you expect anything else but geeks biting the heads off chickens and possibly Elephant Boy?
Does anyone expect anything else but pure ratchet and insanity from reality TV? TLC went from being an engaging channel about astronomy and history (it was founded by Dept of Ed in the 80's) to.....well....Honey Boo Boo and Breaking Amish. Like its arch nemesis/soul sister Bravo, its a channel of idiots for people who love to watch idiots.
And the fact of the matter is that there are men who come out as gay/bi/trans but still stay married and faithful to their wives and husbands. As far as I know, one of Wachowski Brothers transitioned and she's still happily married to the same woman. Just as people stay married after an affair - love and marriage are way deeper than between the sheets.
As Bougie Black People (TM) need to accept all forms of blackness even the ratchet parts, the LGBT community has to accept its entire community, even the parts that make GLADD hang their collective heads in shame.
I live like this - if I don't like I don't watch it. That's why Allah (and cloud technology) gave us Netflix & Hulu.
