Despite Here Comes Honey Boo Boo‘s reputation among detractors and those who have never actually taken the time to watch it, it’s actually a very positive show. Sure, the girls like to play in the mud, holler and say “fart” a lot, and the family’s dietary habits are just deplorable, but once you look past the lack of etiquette (and money) and the overabundance of cheese puffs, what you have is a loving family that celebrates individuality seemingly completely devoid of discrimination. That aspect of the show was recognized by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation with a nomination for Outstanding Reality Program at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards, and Mama June herself flew to New York City receive the redneckognition in person!
