Mr. Shy Guy 07-01-2002, 12:13 AM I don't really know what to think really.
Meg07945 07-01-2002, 12:24 AM I don't care, cause we probably wouldn't get the channel anyway, cause RCN is so damn cheap. We don't get about 1/2 the channels we pay for, even though RCN insists we do..well look at our tv, we DONT get HBO, we DONT get MTV2, etc except that yeah, we're charged for them every month. stupid hoes @ rcn
ISmellFine 07-01-2002, 12:43 AM Sounds kewl...but we probably wouldn't get it anyway. If we did then my parents would take it off because they're homophobic.
Kristina 07-01-2002, 12:44 AM uhh well no that's prejudice... Why on earth would they devot a channel insulting ones sexuality, ew anyways queers as folk is sick, I don't find gay men having sex amusing.

I agree, even tho I've never watched it, I don't want to watch it! I know I wouldn't be watching "The Gay Channel".

That's not too bad. WE don't get Nickelodeon/N@N, TVland, Comedy Central, MTV2, HBO, Cinemax, The Movie Channel, Showtime, E!, Animal Planet, TLC, etc.
vienna waits 07-01-2002, 02:26 AM Umm since when is The Real World a gay show? That's stupid.. a gay person on a show doesn't make it a gay show.
SoFl123 07-01-2002, 02:30 AM isnt it funny how they cater minorities? its ok for there to be a black entertainment channel, but society wouldnt allow a white entertainment one. and now they got a gay channel? i think some people are pretty stupid. people are people to me and no one deserves to be catered any differently than anyone else.

The channel is not intended to be insulting homosexuals. It's like BET Black Entertainment Television, that channel isn't to insult anyone who is black. It's soppose to celebrate being gay just like BET is to celebrate being black and lifetime is to celebrate being a women. Why would you think it is to insult gays?

Well I don't think that is what tv lover meant. That Real Worlder is a gay program. But MTV does have gay friendly programming they just had a True Life: I'm coming out.
TibbyTibby2 07-01-2002, 11:54 AM whatever floats your boat.......
Why do women have a million channels devoted to being a woman, but men have didly squat? I think there should be "The Guy Channel" where thye show nothing but Mondy Night Football reruns, Home Improvement, and other shows in which the man is the star of the show! Down with women's channels! ('cept for Lifetime and Oxygen)
And another thing, what exactley would they show on The Gay Channel? Would it be something like Fight for Your Rights movies 24/7?

Good point! I'd rather watch a "Guy " channel than a "Gay" channel! But I don't HAVE to watch either one!:rolleyes:

I agree.There's nothing wrong with homosexuals but the GAY channel.I don't even like the name! I'm surprised some homosexuals didn't say "It's a good idea but I don't want it called the GAY Channel.Why not the Lifestyle network?"
FOLrocks1 07-01-2002, 03:28 PM That seems a little weird...but I prolly won't get or watch it any ways!
Sean Snow 07-01-2002, 06:29 PM A company is already starting one called 'Pridevision' according to an article I read...it would show stuff like "Goodmorning Gay America" and other shows geared towards the lifestyles of homosexual people.

I think TBS is kinda of that but not really. They have those movies for guys who like movies.

Actually they haven't come up with a name for the cannel at this time. But I doubt they'll go with the gay channel.
But I do beleive that Canada has a gay channel already called pride vision I heard that somewhere.
SoFl123 07-01-2002, 08:23 PM would you like it if they made that channel will and grace person.
Will and Grace Fanatic 07-01-2002, 09:51 PM Originally posted by SoFl123

I don't really know. If they made some good programs on the channel it depends. I won't just watch the channel because they have gay programming. They must have quality shows for me to keep watching them.
SoFl123 07-01-2002, 09:58 PM so you just dont like a show cuz its about gays?
Will and Grace Fanatic 07-01-2002, 10:05 PM Of course not!! I watch shows because they are funny and have really good writing. Why would I do that? That's like me being half asian which I am only watching shows because they have asians in them. I enjoy shows from I Love Lucy to Scrubs. It's nice to see gays and lesbians in shows but that's not the reason I watch the shows.
IownTheDivision69 07-02-2002, 06:53 PM it's sounds amusing. I'm straight tho. I think gay people are funny.
Blonde Hoochie Mama 07-02-2002, 06:58 PM i think it's about time we had our own gay channell!

LucyFan 07-03-2002, 01:12 AM I'm glad that there will be a gay channel because it will help solve some problems that gays go through almost everyday. Can you imagine everyone hating you because of your sexual orientation or being abondoned by your friends and loved ones? Gays go through that kind of stuff and it ain't fun. I have sympathy for them because it shouldn't be that way. Gays shouldn't have to go through that kind of pain and hurt. I feel sorry for them and my heart goes out to them because they are the ones that have deal with those painful issues and suffer. :(

I know that your heart is in the right place but it will take a lot more than just a few TV shows to make life as a gay person any easier.
I think a channel aimed towards the gay community is a cool idea. I do believe we have a channel like that in the UK right now but it's only available on digital satalite and - surprise, surprise - the channel isn't actually advertised anywhere! The only way you'd know it was on was if you happened to be channel-hopping and found it accidentally.
There are a few gay themed shows on prime time TV here though, which is cool. But the thing that annoys me about these shows is that they are completely geared towards gay men - there's nothing for gay women. I don't like 'That Gay Show' on BBC Choice but 'Gaytime TV', which was on BBC2 a few years ago, was pretty cool.
Will and Grace Fanatic 07-03-2002, 02:02 PM I think we here in America have a few gay themed shows such as Will and Grace, the American version of Queer AS Folk, and a new cartoon showtime has done called Queer Duck, which is a weird cartoon.
But we do have many shows with character that are gay.

Kay Scarpetta 08-05-2002, 09:10 PM I personally think it's a good idea. I don't have a problem with gay people, unlike someone here. Gay people are not funny. They are normal human beings who just have a different sexual preference than other people. I don't find a damn thing funny about that.

I think that they were just stating the fact that of the gay people they know or have heard of or seen on television have a very good personality and/or sense of humor. Like Jack on "Will & Grace," for example. I don't think they necessarily meant to say anything insulting. :happyface :happyface :happyface

I've seen 'Queer Duck'! It's so......odd. Last nights episode saw Queer Duck go camping with his nephew's scout troop! :lol:
Have you seen the UK version of 'Queer As Folk'? It's better than the US version (although the storylines are pretty similar).
Hollow 08-06-2002, 04:26 PM ...no comment
Christopher 08-06-2002, 04:29 PM I don't care if there was a gay channel out there. If there will be one I hope they will air Ellen. I love her shes so funny! Her new show wasn't as great as the old one. Now she will be having a variety show this fall from what I heard.

I don't watch the US version very often. And I have never seen the UK version. Although I have heard it has come out on video and DVD. I just have a hard time watching QAF because it is kind of sick.

I do think it is somewhat misrepresentative of the gay community (I dislike the term 'gay community' but I'm not sure what else to call it). It gives those who don't know any better the impression that gay people spend all their time clubbing and picking up complete strangers - which is obviously completely false.

Exactly. The only difference I see is sexual orientation. Other than that, the gay community is the same as the straight (I don't know what else to call it) community.

Bootsy Whoosh 08-06-2002, 07:44 PM I think this is an idea whose time has come.
We already have at least 3-5 women networks (3 Lifetimes, Oxygen, and WE), at least 2 black oriented channels (BET and BET Jazz). Personally, I also think it can be easily argued that we already have several male-oriented channels, such as TNT, TBS, the 6,000 sports channels, plus the fact that white males are very well represented on just about all television programs. BUT, if some guys want to get whiny and demand a WHITE MAN channel, whatever, more power to you, I hope you get your channel.
Just as I think it's fine if there's a gay oriented network.
And of course they'd better show Ellen and These Friends of Mine ;)
Can't say that I read everything everyone said so I might be missing something but so far the channel just has a button pushing label as far as I know and no programs. Shoot, maybe it will be a barrel of laughs or maybe it will be a big bore, or maybe it will be enlightening. Don't know yet and see no reason not to wait and see. As the cheer leaders say, "bring it on."

No offense but you sound a little prejudice there about white people. Since when have white people whine and demanded more white channels? And where the heck is this other Lifetime channel? I only get 2 Lifetime channels, Lifetime & Lifetime Movie Channel. Whats on this other Lifetime station?
SoFl123 08-07-2002, 07:53 PM and i dont know if your refurring to something i said Bootsie, but i never said there needed to be a white channel. i was saying because of society, they couldnt have one. only cause blacks were used to do dirty work back in the 1800s which they still havent forgiven for when no one today ever was remotely involved in it even if their ancestors were.

I am not prejudicecd against white people, I am white myself for god's sake.
And notice, I didn't say that white people were demanding more channels. Never once did I say that, if you can read.
I was merely making a tongue-in-cheek response to Sofl's earlier post about catering to minorites. In my experience, it is mostly white men who get their panties in a bunch over so-called special treatment of minorities. Of course I realize not all white men think this way, that is why it was tongue in cheek: meant to be slightly amusing. I suppose it backfired.
I just personally don't understand why people get all huffy about "catering" channels when to me it is fairly obvious that white people are already well represented on almost all television programs. I wish we could expect the networks to be more responsible and inclusive of everyone, but since that hardly ever seems to happen, if a network devoted to that is needed, I don't see the problem with it.
SoFl123 08-08-2002, 05:07 PM o well, youll get over it.

Gay people don't just like something because it's "gay". I abhor Will And Grace, and I know others who hate Queer As Folk with a passion.

¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 08-09-2002, 10:00 PM I think its stupid when they make new TV shows or now a new TV station just to show equality and difference. Hire a black man to act because he can act..not because he is black.
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 08-09-2002, 10:02 PM They try to add diversity because people complain its stupid. Like I said....hire a man because they can act...not based on their race. A gay channel? Who cares. If thats what people want though, fine. But Im not gonna watch it just because its a *gay* channel. Im gonna watch it because its entertainment. Im straight, and I dont watch half the *straight* shows now because I dont like them! lolol If that made ANY sense to you at all...:rolleyes:
SoFl123 08-09-2002, 10:10 PM what if the role is white?
¤I Love Clay Aiken¤ 08-09-2002, 10:14 PM Huh?? Why would it have to be a "white" role. Unless they needed it for a specific episode for whatever reason. I dunno. All Im saying is that all those TV execs say ohh we added this show to add some more diversity.. Im just saying, dont have a show to show diversity to show your all for equality..have the show because its good entertainment and watchable.
AngelFromMontgomery 08-09-2002, 11:03 PM I just had something to say to Aly...
If you think gay people are funny then I just thought of something funny too. Me taking your face and arranging it so it's permenately attatched to a monkey's ass. How would ya like that? Oh wait...if I was attatching it to a monkeys ass I would need help because I probably couldn't tell the difference between that and you're face.
Sorry...I just hate her so much. *Growls*

**GurlzKewl: i'm a little more gay than you may think
YaYaCarohood: what's that supposed to mean? *confused*
**GurlzKewl: i'm saying one day i rolled out of bed and said out loud 'alexx you're a little more gay than your average lesbian' and that's the straight hard truth. then i whipped out my pic of annie in the see through bra.
YaYaCarohood: alexx you scare me sometimes LOL
So there's NOTHING wrong with gay people.

Wow, that's a new one on me - someone who actually proud to be a bigot! What's your problem, why do you hate gay people so much? Because humans weren't "intended" to be homosexual? Humans weren't intended to fly but does that stop you getting on an aeroplane?
Anyway, who decides what the human race should and should not do? I, as a free-thinking young adult, can do whatever I choose with my life. I wasn't intended to do anything - I can choose my own path. We all can.
And one more thing - don't sit there and write all that bigoted, hateful crap and then have the nerve to say "sorry". I don't need an insincere apology from you. I'd rather you didn't say anything if all you can do is come out with spiteful diatribes!

so funny your name is "GoldenGuy". Do you know how many homosexual fans of The Golden Girls there are? I know countless gay men who have seen every single episode of that show.
This is 2002. Homophobia is the only reason Anita Bryant isn't up there alongside Cher, Barbra, Bette, Diana, Liza, etc... as an all time diva

GoldenGuy 08-11-2002, 12:07 AM OK if yoead the above post by me, you'd see i don't HATE gays. And about the atheist thing. i was talking just about Will and Grace. On the other thread he said he was one. I don't GAYS. I disagree with GAYS. I HATE Osama Bin Laden, Hitler, and child milesters. Gays are miles ahead of them child melesters.

2 questions...
1. are you from/ live in Virginia or at least the northwestern part of that state? Reason I ask is that I am from there and talk about people who are proud to be homophobic, many in that area are for example I know of a certain cable system in that state that actually blocks out Showtime's Queer as Folk and HBO's OZ for "promoting homosexuals". When time comes for their shows to air all you get a black screen.
also same area its actually "against the law" for someone who is gay to be on the radio there reguardless if they are "out" or not.
In fact many radio stations there make it a "rule" only to hire marrieds so they can be "safe", guess they never heard of "bi-sexual".
2. what is your opinion on the Rev. Fred Phelps? The so called Baptist preacher who goes to funerals of gays ( or actually anyone who dies from Aids as he belives only gays get AIDS ) and protests the funerals and saying things like Matthew Sheppard deserved what he got. Holding up signs like "god hates ***s" and shows pictures of nude men having sex spreading hate.
To me thats immoral
Jordan 08-13-2002, 02:20 PM The tension on this board is making me nervous! Look, to all who disagree with homosexuality, you are entitled to your opinion. But I think you have to realize that being gay is not something that you choose to be. Why would someone who is gay choose to be? To be harrassed verbally, mentally, and in some cases physically? To hear people talking about them behind their backs and insulting them? Just at least think about that. I'm not saying that you don't, I just wanted to bring that point to life on the board.

tormented_soul 08-16-2002, 08:03 PM this is seriously the type of thing that makes me want to scream. i, my friends, am gay, and i'm tired of society always deeming my lifestyle a certain way... like it's perverted or wrong. it's not. i did not CHOOSE to be gay... it's not a choice... many people don't get that. i'm offended by what some of you have said, and while i can't stop that, i will let you know that you hurt PEOPLE. yes, you heard me, PEOPLE. i really could go on forever here, but it seems as though sometimes i'm wasting my breath.

SoFl123 08-16-2002, 08:05 PM well im an offensive guy and i feel like i accomplished something if it was me who offended you.
Georgia's on my Mind 08-16-2002, 08:16 PM This is just sickening....I haven't read this whole thread but from just reading this page here is MY opinion.... Being gay isn't wrong, It is gay people having sex. And the only reason that is immoral/a sin in my book is because it is sex outside of marriage in the church. Just can we all move on. I have to say, SoFl, You like to cause trouble and I would bide my time because one day you will be sorry for always being as evil as how you have shown to be on this board and through other outlets. One day YOU will get in trouble for something you say, and you wll have grand consequenses. Good-Bye.

thats ****ed up. U offend stupid people who conscioudly choose to do things that are... well other then "normal"... I mean people don't CHOOSE to e gay anymore than Blacks choose to be Black or anything else that people dont like. JUst shut up. Ur not funnay.
JethroSimpson 08-16-2002, 08:23 PM I agree with that- I haven't read all of this but I have some friends who are gay and it doesn't matter in the slightest to me, I judge someone on who they are as a person and I can't understand why it does or should do anyone else.
And SOFl123, what is the point in trying to offend people?
You seem to be doing it with the message under your username too.
SoFl123 08-16-2002, 08:23 PM funnayyyyyyy funnayyyyyyy. lol. its not only gay people i offend everyone, i dont treat gays any different than other people i offend.
Georgia's on my Mind 08-16-2002, 08:38 PM I have to say one thing about your last comment, You are just a figity little brat who wants to hate everyone just for the reason of hating them! And that is utterly and completely wrong. You pick, and pick, and pick at people's flaws to make them feel belittled and it is just disgusting. You obviously have some emotional problems You need resolved. Wait until you see the real worls, maybe then when you grow up you will see THE truth. This is so rude of me to say, But I honestly can not wait till you come to a face-to-face confrontation with someone who has less pateince than I. I wish mercy on your soul then!

I've met people like SoFl. Trust me, he/she/it/they wouldn't have the balls to say any of that ***** to someone's face. No matter what SoFl may try to claim otherwise. It's not so easy when there isn't cyberspace to cower behind.

I agree with that. I'm with you 100%.
And I also agree with Bootsy's last comment. I too know people like SoFl - they're all brash and loud about how much they hate gay people but when they come face to face with one they're too chicken to say that ***** right to 'em.
The thing that makes me laugh about these bigots is that they all claim thay can "spot a gay a mile off" but they really have no idea. This girl I know, Michelle, is a total bigot . She claims she can tell if someone is gay just by looking at 'em and there's no way she'd never even sit in the same room as a gay person. Yet she's perfectly happy to sit and talk to me and we even have a laugh together. I don't have the heart to break the news to her.... :lol:

jenn You are definitely not wasting your breath and I think the way you stated your thoughts was great. You're right, no one chooses to be gay. And it is sooooo unfair for someone to be tortured for something they have no choice about. I'm with you 100000%. :wave:

Oh do it, do it! :lol: Unless you would really miss her as a friend or something, which if she's that much of a bigot I doubt you would. But I would love to see the look on her face when you tell her. Here's what you do, take a camera, tell her, snap a picture, and post it here for all to see! :lol:
Seriously though, who knows....you could be the person to change her mind....or at least get the ball rolling in that direction.

Believe me, I would love to break the news to her - "to see the look on her face" as you say. But it's the look on her face I'm afraid of. That's why I'm not "out" - I'm too scared of the look on people's faces when I tell 'em.
People assume it's easy to 'come out' but it's not. Cos it's not like you just say "yeah, I'm gay" and that's it. You gotta say it to one person. Then you gotta tell another person. Then you gotta tell another person. You can't just say it and that's the end of it. You gotta keep saying it and that's tough.
I don't value Michelle's friendship in the slightest so I couldn't care less whether she hates me or not, for whatever reason. But I just can't tell her - even if I wanted to. I just can't say it out loud.

You're no man - I can tell you that right now. A man is someone who is diplomatic and stands up for his beliefs. If I were face-to-face with you right now you wouldn't have the balls to say all this ***** to my face cos you are nothing but a coward.

Yes I know that.
It's not even about attitude anyway. It's about attraction. I can't help who I'm attracted to anymore than anyone else can. It's just that I lot of guys I have encountered have the exact same veiws as SoFl and I can't help but see some kid of pattern emerging.
I wanna state that I have nothing against males. I actually think guys make better friends than females - I just don't find them attractive in any way.
That doesn't make me a freak, SoFl.
