Denver Cartoonist Runs Into GLAAD

In what looks like an attempt by the news source to seize on the news item and turn it to its own advantage rather than watching it potentially spiral into something more significant, Patricia Calhoun of The Denver Westword notes in the "The Last Word" blog the objection of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's object to the cobbled-together word "gearfag" in one of the publication's cartoons. The cartoonist in question is Kenny Be, one of a few contributing cartoonist and I think perhaps their primary columnist/cartoonist. The objection seems sort of silly to me, but I'm in no place to figure out the level of dismay certain people may feel about the use of that designation. It is interesting that the publication in question would pick up on it, though.
