Accountability

GLAAD has a list of the damned, which it laughably calls its “Accountability Project.”

The GLAAD Accountability Project catalogs anti-LGBTQ rhetoric and discriminatory actions of politicians, commentators, organization heads, religious leaders, and legal figures who have used their platforms, influence and power to spread misinformation and harm LGBTQ people.

The Project reveals these individuals’ own words and actions, to help all Americans evaluate whether to vote for them, or quote them, or support their point of view. As journalists, newsrooms and platforms write stories or book guests for interviews and segments, they can check the record, add context to stories, or help decide whether a person with this history should continue to be given unchallenged air time or ink. See the complete list of profiles in the dropdown menu to the right.

The complete list is looooooong.

Let’s see some examples. JK Rowling for instance; part of item 3 of the indictment:

—Doubled down on remarks and support for anti-trans researchers, during Pride month 2020 and as the world endured the historic pandemic, and the U.S. a national reckoning on racial injustice and police violence, in lengthy essay of inaccuracies about transgender people and identity, claiming that as “an ex-teacher and the founder of a children’s charity” she has “deep concerns about the effect the trans rights movement is having on both.”

It’s not even literate, let alone thoughtful or reasonable. Are they letting the kids do all the writing?
