It's not that GLAAD were saying that gay people can't be bad. They were just pointing out that this was another case of wrestling doing it bad.
I remember the pop when they said they weren't gay. It was great (in a humorous sense).

I think the best thing for wrestling when it comes to representing homosexuality is to just not mention it. Don't make a big deal out of it and make it come across as a gimmick.

Kinda like what the WWE are doing with Sonya Deville. She's gay but they don't mention it, or what they did with Darren Young. He came out and they supported him but after that, it wasn't spoken about.
