Robert Greenblatt, NBC’ s new chairman and president of programming, might not think there is anything remarkable about his ascendancy to the top of the Peacock network, but then again he’s pretty modest about all of his achievements. However, given that Greenblatt is the first out gay man to head a broadcast network, AfterElton.com is inclined to disagree with him rather emphatically. In fact, we're more than happy to say we think his new position is an important step for GLBT visibility.

Greenblatt’s latest promotion is just another in a long list of achievements including, after this Saturday, the Stephen F. Kolzak Award, which GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) will bestow on Greenblatt for his contributions toward eliminating homophobia. (The award is named after the successful Los Angeles casting director who worked to fight AIDS-phobia and homophobia in Hollywood.)

While few outside of the Hollywood community are likely familiar with Greenblatt, his influence on GLBT visibility in popular culture is profound. Among his many producing television credits, the most recognizable to gay viewers would likely be his work as an executive producer on HBO’s Six Feet Under...
