Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson stars in new GLAAD PSA

Shaun Robinson, co-anchor of Access Hollywood, is the latest celebrity to join GLAAD in saying homophobia is bad! Very, very bad! Stop it or no cookies for you!

Okay, that isn't exactly what Shaun says, but you get the idea. And Shaun is doing the PSA in February to commemorate Black History Month. I'm not entirely sure I get that connection, but whatever. The spot will premiere tonight during Access Hollywood. I'm sure I'll be watching. Oh, look! The latest episode of Torchwood just showed up in the mail! Maybe I'll just TIVO AH instead. But kudos to Shaun and Access Hollywood for promoting tolerance!

Kudos to her...

I saw her interviewing T. R. Knight at the GLAAD awards shortly after the whole Isaiah Washington debacle, and I was struck by how sympathetic she was. She asked him why it was that homophobic slurs weren't taken as seriously as racist ones. All credit to her for understanding why it matters.

"And Shaun is doing the PSA in February to commemorate Black History Month. I'm not entirely sure I get that connection, but whatever."

^ i assume the connection is "tolerance and acceptance" - - there are those who compare the days of people saying the N word, hunting down and hanging blacks to today where people say the F word and bashing gay people to death.

some say there is no way to compare those two things. eh, an interesting debate topic i think....
