Our Awards:
Less than three years old, Out in the Bay
is already award-winning. In 2005, producer Eric Jansen captured
a 3rd place Sarah Pettit Memorial Award for Excellence in LGBT
Media from the National Lesbian & Gay Journalists Association.
He was the only broadcaster recognized in this competition,
which honors a magazine editor and is typically dominated by
print journalists.
In 2006, Out in the Bay won 2nd place in the National Lesbian &
Gay Journalists Association's radio category. The award was for
Marilyn Pittman and Eric Jansen's August 2005 interview with
Emily B, the lesbian who won her "deadbeat dyke" child support
case against her former partner in the CA Supreme Court, and her
lawyer, Courtney Joslin. In this groundbreaking ruling,
California's top court ruled for the first time that a child can
legally have two mothers -- and that two legally responsible
parents don't have to be opposite sex. |

Calling for
more ‘mixed’ media...
Listener’s letter to The
Advocate GLBT news magazine
Over many decades, The Advocate
has been our primary source for
the GLBT community’s national
(and international) pulse. Your
recent 40th anniversary issue’s
public poll identifying 40 top
heroes is quite revealing. My
definition of “hero” is someone
who has accomplished brave
deeds; a person with character
whom we can admire.
While your poll indeed
recognizes the extraordinary
achievements of many well
deserving individuals, clearly
few persons of color rise to the
top. In a culture that depends
on the media for much of its
identity, many of these heroes
are also well placed in the
powerful and influential
entertainment industry. Your
readership poll recognizes Rosie
O’Donnell as #10, a woman who
thinks nothing of using racial
slurs like “Chinamen” and who
says she will say whatever she
wants. Such arrogance and
ignorance from your 10th hero
are disturbing. The poll’s
acknowledgement of her
illustrates the lack of far more
constructive models for those of
us in the GLBT community who
still feel the stigma of race
and ethnicity.
The poll’s results signal a need
for more inclusiveness and
integrity for whom we honor.
Your readership may ideally
believe in a color-blind GLBT
society. Polarization and
separation into racial and
ethnic camps are still evident,
however. Media examples of
“beauty” exemplified in the
slick and glossy magazines, for
example, favor the Caucasian
reality (which we, too, admire),
while models representing racial
differences are limited. Does
The Advocate’s readership
understand that non-white
persons, Asian Americans in this
case, are trivialized as
non-existent and secondary
within the cultural elite?
I see a new time coming. The
Advocate can play an important
role in changing our stereotypes
and impressions of the
under-represented. Perhaps in a
decade your 50th anniversary
heroes poll will reflect a more
diverse constituency. I hope so,
if we truly expect to grow and
evolve as a more unified and yet
diverse community.
Yours very truly,
Gerry Takano, Daly City
