Malcolm Gage
Malcolm Gage is a co-chair of the Dallas Leadership Council for Gays and Lesbians
Against Defamation. On June 27 he will host a watch party for the GLAAD Media
Awards at his house for anyone interested in GLAAD. All attending the party will
receive a free one-year membership to GLAAD. If you are interested visit
www.glaad.org/watchandwin.
IWhat is this event all about?
GLAAD is hosting national watch and win events across the country to
engage people to watch the GLAAD media awards. The GLAAD media
awards are held each year in four diferent major media markets. They are doing
this as an outreach to the community to engage local activists across the nation.
2 What is the importance of these awards?
The importance of these awards is that we are recognizing both national
and local media groups in regards to LGBT advocacy. Each year for exam-
ple, "Ugly Betty" and "Brothers and Sisters" and "Grey's Anatomy" and different
outlets such as that are awarded for the work they do in giving a fair and accu-
rate representation of the LGBT community.
3What are other GLAAD events we can expect soon?
The next major event you are going to see from GLAAD is "An Evening
With." That's a series that we started last year where we brought in Judy
Shepard at Times Ten Cellar during Pride week. We've also got a "Passport
Magazine" pool party that we are possibly doing this summer. And we have an
ongoing series one Friday a month with a GLAAD mixer at a different bar of the
Dallas Tavern Guild as well.
4Why should people consider joining GLAAD?
I think people should be interested in joining GLAAD because it represents
a side of the LGBT market that is a little more visual. Perfect example: When
Dallas's mayor pro tem was doing the whole issue against sagging pants, and
the song accompanying it was released and included some very negative conno-
tations about the LGBT community GLAAD was the one who stepped up and
caused them to retract that song.
5 What will people get to do if they join?
If someone was looking to join, you can probably expect being extremely
involved at the grassroots level and really get a stronghold as far as being
involved in the local leadership council.
Soundout is a weekly column featuring people whose jobs and interests have an impact on the daily lives of members
of the LGBT community. It features those who often go unnoticed by the press and community. If you'd like to recom-
