I don't really know what to think really.

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

Sounds kewl...but we probably wouldn't get it anyway. If we did then my parents would take it off because they're homophobic.

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.

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.

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)
