ProWrestling.net is reporting that the GLAAD organization, which stands for the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, has targeted John Cena in regards to some taunts he has made over the past little while that they have taken to be homophobic.
Instead of the usual defensiveness, WWE has agreed to partner up with the organization to create and promote an anti-bullying initiative, which is a wonderful move. Kids look up to John Cena, so it's time to clean it up a little bit. Also, WWE has invited the organization to come in and conduct training with the WWE creative team and its editors.
For those interested, you can read the blog here: http://glaadblog.org/2011/03/17/wwe-to-partner-with-glaad-on-anti-bullying-messages/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+glaadblog+%28GLAADBlog.org%29
This is a great step for WWE, and I'm glad to hear that they are taking this seriously considering that the blog states that they are acting on behalf of LGBT members who were bothered and offended by Cena's comments.
