I haven't talked about Supernatural much lately, mostly because I'm basically not watching this season. It's sitting on my dvr, but I'm so frustrated by season three that I just can't watch it yet. I've not rewatched seasons one or two, either, and in fact I loaned season one to nikitangel months ago and haven't bothered to get it back.

But I still have thoughts and issues with it, and my buttons are being pushed by the fact that GLAAD nominated "Ghostfacers" for Outstanding Individual Episode (in a series without a regular LGBT character). GLAAD, you know, Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, nominated "GHOSTFACERS" for its portrayal of a gay character. (Hat tip to coffeeandink for the link.)

I have some issues with GLAAD anyway (for one thing, while I realize the awkwardness of GLBTQAAD or other variations, G&L doesn't actually include all that many potential members of the alliance. (I'm also not fond of "defamation" aligned with these awards, but that's a different conversation.)

I mean, the award tagline is this: 20th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Fair. Accurate. Inclusive. And Impossibly Glam.

I'd like to know why they nominated "Ghostfacers" because the episode I saw was really none of those things. And GF is one of my favorite episodes of season three (which is saying something).

If you haven't seen the episode, summary below.

I call FAIL.

(I'd like to know why they nominated this episode, but I'd also like to know why Bones was ignored, based on the standard I can infer from this nomination.)
