calling glee out for being ignorant is the new black.

GLAAD is pretty pissed off about the Rocky Horror episode of Glee. and rightfully so. long story short, mike chang says he can't be in the play because his parents don't want him dressed like a "tranny". later, they do something surprisingly progressive and finally give mercedes a lead as dr. frank-en-furter. and she fucking kills it on sweet transvestite. here's where it gets ignorant....they change the word "transexual" to "sensational". in a song being sung by and written about a transexual (the character, anyway). in the very same episode, mind you, where FOX had no problem allowing mike chang to use the pejorative form of the word. i can't even.
