It’s funny how things get started.
Yesterday, I began a Facebook page to entice the producers of Glee to write in some friendships for Becky next season. The idea came from a reader of my blog, Give Becky A Friend .
I love Becky’s character, and appreciate that Glee has included someone with Down syndrome and given her a less than traditional role. But she is always alone and that needs to change.
So, a few minutes on Facebook, and bam – it’s off. It’s a great idea and at the same time, so simple to do.
So today – a light read on UnitedMediaNow! Please help get the ball rolling by going to Facebook and “LIKEing” Glee – Becky Needs Some Friends .
It is a great opportunity for media to change the way society sees people with disabilities.
Thanks – and make sure you spread the word!
