Natalie --

Y'all are amazing.

Just this morning, we asked you to take action against the hateful,
misogynist column the Chicago Sun Times had run about actress and
transgender activist Laverne Cox.

And wow, did you ever. WAM!mers generated thousands of tweets and nearly
1000 petition signatures in under 6 hours, making you a big part of this
big win for gender justice in media.

*That's right: thanks to your efforts and the work of GLAAD and of
transgender leaders in Chicago, the Chicago Sun Times has pulled the column
and apologized for running it!
<http://salsa3.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=eeI1Q5IUHcWmV9tukt0iwNg2M562b%2FZU>*

Moving forward, we hope the Chicago Sun Times and all media outlets
everywhere will adopt GLAAD's standards for reporting on trans* people and
issues.

We know you'll join us in ensuring they do.

WAM!on, everyone!
