Some of the GLAAD awards were given out on 03/16 (the rest will be announced in April) and on Monday 03/18 Howard suddenly says he "had the revelation over the weekend that gay people are God's gift to the world". He also said "there's something very special about every one of my gay friends" and "the shit they've had to put up with their whole lives has made them something more beautiful". I don't know if he's campaigning for this year's awards or next but I hope the people are GLAAD are smart enough to see him for the self-promoting fraud that he is.
