Fox News & Us Weekly joke extensively about transgender ‘Top Model’ contestant, Isis [video]
”This seems to be ‘The Crying Game 2008’ all over the TV…. We call it ‘America’s Next Top Tranny’ a lot of the time anyway…. She doesn’t look a lot different than any of the other contestants that have been on there. I mean, they’re not exactly like the most high-class group of women usually.”

”The group GLAAD, Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation sent us an e-mail saying it was offensive. That was not our intention. We apologize.”
