| "Fox deserves a lot of credit for doing the right
thing here. They offered us an advance copy of the show and were incredibly
responsive to our grave concerns. They worked with us to schedule
a meeting and preempted that meeting with a decision to shelve the
show," Glaad executive director Joan Garry was quoted as saying
in a media report.
The media report added that Fox had now invited Glaad representatives
to participate in a larger meeting about the way the network depicts
the "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community."
Earlier Fox had issued an official release describing the new show
as "a heterosexual male's worst nightmare: turning gay overnight."
The release also said the contestants would be judged by a "jury
of their queers." But after the language used in the release
was criticised by Glaad, Fox apologized and released a revised version
of the release.
