LGBT community members, bloggers, activists and national advocacy groups are responding to what they say is anti-trans bias by David Letterman.

So, what is your say? Transphobic? Anti-trans? Insensitive? Or, was it just plain old humor? Let us know in the comments section below…
(More at Pam’s House Blend, and a letter from HRC)
as usual the glbt community is making a damn mountain out of a ant hill.. then again that not very shocking is it.. since we are so discrimininate against right, I mean everything that happens to us is simply because of our sexuality? right..
