Us Weekly Acknowledges Gay Love

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which each year rewards what they view as positive depictions of gay people in various media from reality shows to newspapers to comic books, has made a happy woman of Us Weekly editor Janice Min.

In 2005, GLAAD nominated magazines such as The Chronicle of Higher Education and Time. This year, back in January, GLAAD nominated The Advocate, CosmoGIRL, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek—and Us Weekly. And now, according to her editor's letter in this week's issue, an Us senior editor named Bradley Jacobs (who used to write about film and entertainment under the name B. J. Sigesmund for Newsweek) just finally told Ms. Min about all this. She is, she writes, "so excited!"

The big gay ceremonies will take place in four cities from March to May. Janet Jackson will attend one of them!
