MSNBC host Joy Reid is stripped of an award from a prominent LGBTQ group following the discovery of more anti-gay blog posts.
Months after
homophobic posts emerged from MSNBC host Joy Reid's former blog, new details prompted LGBTQ advocacy group PFLAG National to rescind an award it had given the journalist.
Reid admitted in December to writing blog posts attacking Charlie Crist roughly a decade ago, accusing him of being a closeted homosexual. She has since apologized to the public and to Crist directly.
But last week,
additional excerpts were reportedly unearthed from the same now-defunct blog written by Reid, saying "most straight people cringe at the sight of two men kissing," and that "gay men tend to be attracted to very young, post-pubescent types."
In response, PFLAG's president, Jean Hodges, issued the following
statement: "PFLAG National - the nation's first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people, their families, and allies - has rescinded its Straight for Equality in Media award to political analyst Joy Reid."
Comment: Who to believe, Trump or the Deep State? Realists would go with the Deep State.
- Trump doubles down on his challenge to US military leadership: "I want to get out of Syria, bring our troops home"
- Trump wants troops out of Syria 'ASAP', but it won't be very quick
- While Trump wants to pull out of Syria, the military wants the opposite
And why: The one-third of Syria illegally occupied by US and proxy forces contain most of its oil, water and gas
