I want to, on behalf of everyone at “30 Rock,” thank everyone at GLAAD for recognizing that from Liz Lemon’s bi-curious shoes, to Jenna Maroney’s heterosexual transvestite boyfriend, to Will Arnett’s ongoing semi-erotic business rivalry with Alec Baldwin - thank you for recognizing that the show has nothing but respect and admiration for the lesbian, gay, and transgender community.
