LGBTQ Organization Rescinds Award Given To Joy Reid

If you haven’t caught up on the Joy Reid drama, you can do so here and here. Long story short, someone uncovered a bunch of “homophobic” articles she wrote back in the day, and she apologized for them in December. However, she’s now backpedaling on her apology and basically saying she never even wrote the posts, which is utter BS because why would you apologize for something you KNEW you didn’t write?

ANYWHOOOOOO. Her past is finally catching up with her, and her fellow libs aren’t happy. In fact, PFLAG– an LGBTQ organization– has stripped an award away from her.

We have rescinded our Straight for Equality in Media award honors to @JoyAnnReid. Our statement here: https://t.co/jBLXiZqCyJ

Here’s the statement.

PFLAG National—the nation’s first and largest organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people, their families, and allies—today has rescinded its Straight for Equality in Media award to political analyst Joy Reid.

Said PFLAG National president Jean Hodges, “When we extended our invitation to Ms. Reid to honor her at our 45th anniversary celebration, we did so knowing about the blog posts from the late 2000s regarding Charlie Crist. We appreciated how she stepped up, took ownership, apologized for them, and did better—this is the behavior and approach we ask of any ally. However, in light of new information, and the ongoing investigation of that information, we must at this time rescind our award to Ms. Reid.”

Oooooooo. That’s gotta sting.
