I know some people take umbridge with the handing out of awards to straight people every year (often for things that really ought to be status quo). There was something else, and it was kinda big but I cannot for the life of me remember what. I think it had something to do with some of the "gray area" things: the organization pretty much exists to point out the offensive things and let everyone know about them and release statements to that effect (they do likewise with the positive things, I'd be remiss not to mention). I think somewhere along the way there were a few things that some found offensive that GLAAD did not, and vice versa that led to a realization that it's a little bit silly to have an organization speaking for all of us particularly on the more gray area cases.
