\"Buffy<\/a>Today the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defimation, or GLAAD, announced the nominees for their 20th Annual Media Awards<\/a>. Included again this year is a category for comic books:<\/p>\n

OUTSTANDING COMIC BOOK<\/strong>
\nThe Alcoholic<\/em>\u00a0by Jonathan Ames (Vertigo\/DC Comics)
\nBuffy the Vampire Slayer<\/em>\u00a0by Drew Goddard, Jeph Loeb and Joss Whedon (Dark Horse Comics)
\nFinal Crisis: Revelations<\/em>\u00a0by Greg Rucka (DC Comics)
\nSecret Six<\/em>\u00a0by Gail Simone (DC Comics)
\nYoung Avengers Presents<\/em>\u00a0by Ed Brubaker, Brian Reed, Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Paul Cornell, Kevin Grevioux and Matt Fraction (Marvel Comics)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve often felt that the intended aims of the media awards were awkward, giving a pat on the back to straight people who are good to gays rather than recognizing the achievements of… you know… actual gay people who also <\/em>inspire and create great work and are visible and honest and etc. \u00a0But since I haven’t read 4 of the 5 books on my list up there I’ll hold my tongue until I get through them… if I ever get through them.<\/p>\n

(Maybe Scott Pilgrim will finally get nominated next year when the movie comes out, eh?)<\/p>\n
