I bet this has probably been said but it's just my 2 cents:
Denzel won an Oscar for being the BEST ACTOR. Not the best black actor, but the best actor. Same with Forest Whittaker. Halle Berry won an Oscar for being the best actress, not the best black actress. Why can't a gay person just win an award for being the best in a field that doesn't have to objectify and single them out? And why can't they nominate a straight person for being most fabulous? That right there says that this award if a "Best Gay Person" award. Everyone strives for equal rights, and we're just slowing the *#*!%%% process by singling these people out. To me it doesn't make a difference if its a good thing like an award. Defining lines between two types of people only magnifies the difference. A perfect world where all races, genders, sexual orientations, etc. live together in harmony requires the population to not see or not care about differences in that population. Having awards or anything that singles out a certain sect of the population only strengthens those defining lines between different groups. /Rant
Cliff Notes: The award is %##+#!%+
I think the topic of homosexuality should be banned from NT for good though.
