"Personally, I would have been far more intrigued watching B/J read the phone book to each other than watching the Faerie Gathering or anything Ben/M ever did..."

И ещё считаю долгом предупредить, что кот древнее и неприкосновенное животное. ©

Brian and Justin - QAF 24.62%
И ещё в комментах пишут (насколько я через промт поняла), что видео B/J там есть, но почему-то, из-за каких-то техническим проблем с браузерами, не все могут его видеть. Я спецом посмотрела и через Мозилку, и через Эксплорер, всё равно— не вижу.

A few years ago, when QAF was still on the air, GLAAD really did rig an online contest, brazenly: the Out Image Award.

читать дальшеGale Harold and Randy Harrison traded first and second place over and over, way up at the high end of the online tally, and Eden Reigl was very far behind in third place. When GLAAD closed the voting, Randy was ahead of Gale, and both were far ahead of Eden Reigl. GLAAD then announced the winner: Eden Reigl.

They first tried to ignore the internet-wide outcry. Then they started putting out word unofficially, through pseudonymous people in social media, that somehow Reigl had won via foreign votes that weren't in the online tally.

When that got no traction, they settled on the story that, yes, Randy Harrison had won the most votes, and Gale Harold was second, but because those two actors wouldn't be able to attend the awards ceremony in person, naturally GLAAD was forced to give it to Reigl, who wasn't doing a heavy shooting schedule in Toronto, Canada, and could actually attend.

Gee, why haven't the Oscars ever thought of that? Can't leave your current shoot, Miss Streep? Oops, we'll have to give that Sophie's Choice award to Julie Andrews.

Putting aside the fact that attendance in person to accept was not a stated condition of winning (this wasn't a raffle), those supposed negotiations with the actors' people must have taken only a few minutes, because the award was announced immediately after the tally was taken down, and with no explanation of Reigl's win, no acknowledgment of the "runners up" who actually whipped her ass.

It was much noted at the time that the contest was illustrated with a picture of Reigl on "All My Children," and a collage of other pictures included none from QAF. This was nothing new for GLAAD. For four years of the show's five year run, GLAAD tied itself in knots not to give its award for Best Dramatic Series to QAF.

One year they gave it to "Playmakers," a series on ESPN that let one of its football player characters come out of the closet (the plot took up a single episode) -- to the fury of the real-life NFL, which showed such resentment that ESPN quickly announced the series was not going to be renewed, and it wasn't.

It was further remembered that the then-chairperson of GLAAD, a lesbian, had spoken snippily in an interview of the salaciousness of all those men on QAF. (Later on, GLAAD didn't seem to be bothered by the copycat salaciousness of The L Word).

After this scandal, I'm not aware that GLAAD ever gave out the award again, or any other award whose winner the public was allowed to vote for. They have made every such decision since, I believe, in a nice smoke-filled room, accountable to nobody but the corporate interests they're supposed to watchdog, and which pay their bills.

So if QAF fans are little too quick to sniff a conspiracy in the air, maybe it's because there was fire the last time there was smoke.
