It's so important to understand two things about advocacy groups like GLAAD:

1) They're run by professional activists who have completely different perspectives & incentives than those they purport to represent;

2) They need to constantly manufacture enemies to raise money.

These are the groups -- HRC, GLAAD, etc. -- that continue to perpetrate the myth that the PULSE massacre was motivated by anti-LGBT animus when everyone who reported on it knows it's false: same reason they added Jesse to their bigot list. This is what generates $ that pays them.

Still, three years later, every time I point out that the PULSE massacre was not motivated by anti-LGBT animus, large numbers are shocked/confused, showing how easily & widely people are misled by media. Here's my article with @MazMHussain on this:
