More on the NBC from GLAAD

However, when it came time to broadcast the diving finals, watched by millions of people during prime time, NBC did not show or mention Mitcham’s family – namely, his partner and his mom. Given Mitcham’s unique story, and his amazing late-in-the-game victory (he scored four 10s in his final dive), NBC should have highlighted his partner and mom in the way that they’ve shown the families and stories of other medaling athletes.

I’m not the only one who noticed that NBC missed the mark here. Yahoo Sports, Think Progress, Sporting News and other outlets are questioning NBC’s glaring omission.

GLAAD is reaching out to NBC to find out why they chose to leave out his partner and mother during the broadcast. Check back here for updates.

Sometime I believe Glaad does more damage then good. Face it they don't have a great track record, in my opinion. In most cases Glaad is just as two-faced as any Congressman.

Matthew Mitcham victory is ignored by NBC

This came from Towleroad,

More outrage that the Peacock Network ignored gay diver Matthew Mitcham's gold-medal victory because it wasn't compelling or historical enough.

I'm sick and tired of every LGBT community bitching about the press when they fail to mention a gay athlete's sexuality. I'm sure there are more important points and subject to talk about then his sexuality and his boyfriend kissing him.

I would like to know more about him, what are his likes and dislikes? How offer does he practice and workout.

It seem in our community to be apart of you must proclaim yourself as a Gay Actor instead of an Actor, Gay Singer, A Gay Comic, and A Gay Author, instead of Singer, Comic, and Author. But we don't stop there do we, No if we are in Congress they we must be Openly Out Congressman or Congresswoman.

So what if NBC doesn't what to talk about his sexuality or show a gay kiss on tv, all you have to do then is turn the channel.
