There was a lot of excement the gay muny back then. Chris McCarthy: Logo has been a part of the gay culture. The gay movement has moved so quickly, ’s probably the fastt movg civil rights movement history.
You thk about Obama and Clton havg their first gay bate on Logo. In 2012 you guys me out wh a statement sayg that Logo will no longer be gay channel, Do you nsir yourself a gay channel now? We are a channel that is born and bread om a gay culture and now that subculture is drivg mass culture.
BRAVO: FIRST STRAIGHT. THEN GAY. NOW ROCKED BY A REALY SUICI. WHAT’S NEW? HOW MANY? WHO’S PRODUCG?
We certaly don’t tell anyone else they n’t jo , but we are gay our re.

It was gog back to our re gay roots. One of the problems that Logo had the begng is the fact that there are so many subsets of the LGBT muny: gay, lbian, bisexual, transgenr, old, young, urban, ral, whe, black.
They’re not gog after gays, they jt happen to get them. We’re targetg gays.
“The [Real] Hoewiv” don’t have any gay characters. You want to e and be gay the whole time, we are here. And if you’re straight and you have a gay sensibily – bee no one should be put to a box — you’re wele too.
