Dear Editors,
In your recent About Town article Nancy mentioned Logo, the new
cable network channel for gays and lesbians. While avoiding
housework one afternoon last week I stumbled across this channel.
I didn't pay that much attention to it besides noticing it was a
channel I wasn't familiar with, so I kept on surfing. I must have
had a hard time finding a show worth watching because a short while
later I landed on Logo again. Just as I started to leave it, I
heard something about it being the new channel for gays and
lesbians. I punched the information button to see what Directv had
to say about it; sure enough, the commercial was confirmed.As you'd watch any train wreck, I left this channel on out of
curiosity. Nancy, if you're still looking "forward to seeing
programs that promote an understanding of the gay and lesbian
community, rather than mocking the stereotypes," you might need to
look elsewhere. How will advertising sex help to eliminate the
stereotype that being homosexual is only about the sex? It only
took approximately three minutes of viewing the soft pornography
they used as commercials to determine this was a channel that
needed to be blocked from our home. There was no advertising of
comedy, movies, game shows, DIY or news--just sex.Congratulations to those pushing the liberal agenda, you have
scored a double victory: First, a gay channel and second, the
elimination of those pesky rental fees!
