Do they know who they are complaining to...
This story seems kind of crazy, read on:
Bosses at America's leading gay rights group are demanding a summit meeting with the producers of TV talent show AMERICAN IDOL after claiming the programme is "increasingly homophobic".
Officials at the Gay And Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) were appalled by homophobic remarks made by judges SIMON COWELL and RANDY JACKSON on the first show of the new season, which aired in America on Tuesday (17JAN06).
On the programme, Brit Cowell told one effeminate wannabe to "shave off your beard and wear a dress," while Jackson asked another audition hopeful, "Are you a girl?" Both contestants were rejected.
Now GLAAD bosses are fighting back, demanding an audience with Idol bosses.
A spokesman tells entertainment news website TMZ.com, "GLAAD is reaching out to the show's producers to discuss our concerns and the concerns of community members and allies, who have contacted us about this matter."
Does GLAAD remember that Ryan Seacrest is on the show??? The show can't be to homophobic if they allow him on the show.

I think I saw the clip of Randy asking someone if they were a girl looked like a woman. It wasn't a dig at the person, I think it was a honest questions!
