You'd be hard-pressed to describe Bravo as "gay-themed." It's more "movie-themed." Casino isn't gay propaganda, last I checked. Logo is an MTV project. No surprises there. I eagerly await their ratings reports.

I'm aware that gay TV shows exist. They are targeted towards a very specific market. And their ratings reflect this. Here, knock yourself out.

That non-discrimination clause was put their at your company's own initiative. Someone decided that work output is more important than sexual orientation. Which is not a bad thing, especially if it prevents gay affirmative action.

And the day that I ever fear anyone enough to avoid expressing an opinion about them is the day that I have a tag on my toe.

O.K. then, so what is your point?

I said there were Gay networks. There are. Just because they have low ratings doesn't mean that they don't exist.

I said that there were gay themed TV shows. There are. Discounting them doesn't make them go away.

I agree that placing specific wording into company standards is the company's choice....a choice between getting sued or not.

My point is, and originally was, that homosexuals have made great strides in gaining acceptance by riding the coat-tails of the civil-rights movement.

I don't remember this wide-spread acceptance of everything queer while growing up. It is accepted, promoted, and widely defended now.

So again, what's your point?

Am I paranoid? Am I wrong? Am I homophobic?
