Bruno reinforces stereotypes?

Apparently, GLAAD is upset that Bruno reinforces gay stereotypes.....
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation said Friday that "Bruno," the new film starring Sacha Baron Cohen, reinforces negative stereotypes and "decreases the public's comfort with gay people."

GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios, who saw the film Friday, said that "the movie was a well-intentioned series of sketches — some hit the mark and some hit the gay community pretty hard and reinforce some damaging, hurtful stereotypes."


Hellooooooooooooooooo!

Have any of these gay folks ever watched the Logo channel or Bravo; networks aimed at the gay community?

It's a Brunofest.

Or how about those gay pride parades?

Nothing stereotypical about those..... right?

If you don't want the Cohen's of the world to exploit your stereotypes, you might want to police that crew of guys in the crotchless leather chaps in your next parade.
