Today, GLAAD announced its 23rd annual media nominees covering ground from movies to television to journalism. Texas didn’t get a whole lot of love this time (does it ever?), but it did get in. For the Outstanding TV Journalism – News Magazine category, local NBC affiliate KXAS TV-5 snagged a nomination for its “GLBT in Texas” Spotlight DFW series which even had a segment devoted to the Dallas Voice. So, we’re kinda in.
For Outstanding Music Artist, San Antonio’s Girl in a Coma is in fine company with fellow nominees, MEN, Lady Gaga, Hunx and his Punx and Beverly McClellan. GIAC was nominated for its 2011 release, Exits and All the Rest.
The A-List: Dallas did not get a nod for Outstanding Reality Program.

GLADD doesn’t give awards to entire states because states don’t publish media for LGBT readers. It was the Voice that GLADD didn’t give a whole lot of love.
It’s your job to make the publication better and be more than kinda in, not your readers, advertisers, sales staff and the state of Texas.
The Voice has a long history of receiving awards and past and current members of the Voice staff don’t deserve the demeaning question, “does it ever?”
