MTV plans to create Gay/Lesbian TV network
The network is called LOGO. It will be out this summer. This will be a landmark for gay rights movement that will help to stop stereotypes and homophobia.

3. Let's hope the likes of whom own the cable and satellite outlets
will carry it. I for one will demand that they add it to their lineup. I already have something like five religious stations I can do without.

8. of course, but whenever...
channels or awards are made for minorities (racial or sexual), I hear some people complain that they couldn't, for example, make something called "The White Channel" without being called racists.

7. Great, I hope they will have a spot for Michelangelo Signorile.
I listen to him on sirius. But he really should be on TV also. I would love to see Mike with a camera.
