THE FOTTEN GAY CABLE NETWORK THAT CHANGED LGBTQ HISTORY

TORONTO – When the CRTC origally licensed OUTtv as Pri Visn 2001 to bee the world’s first gay TV work, the Canadian TV regulator probably did not envisage DTLA, produced by L Word executive producer Larry Kennar, on TV screens here. Nor, we n assume, did the CRTC, which emed Pri Visn a mt-rry ble channel, ever envisage a day when domtic rriers like Shaw Cable wtern Canada would ever give the gay-themed channel wi distributn.

Showtime’s Queer as Folk drama, the first to portray the liv of gay men and women, while set Ptsburgh, was produced Toronto and proved a primetime wner for Canada’s Showse channel.

Danks see DTLA, while overlappg wh Queer as Folk pictg a 30somethg world, gog further by portrayg gay iends for whom life did not turn out as origally envisaged. What’s more, DTLA is more multicultural than Queer as Folk and has gay and straight people livg and playg together and alg wh the same issu.

R.I.P., GAY TV: A NOT-SO-SAD REALY

“As the LGBT muny mov to the mastream, many of the issu that if fac are more mastream, ” Danks sisted as OUTtv creasgly walks a fe le between a gay dience embracg the mastream, and straight TV viewers lookg to a gay work for alternative programmg. For the first time ever, viewers will watch “Drag Race” on VH1 durg primetime on Friday nights stead of Mondays on Logo, the largt exclively gay work on TV.

But the hub of gay TV is much more than “Drag Race, ” wh programmg enpassg documentari, feature films, web seri and other realy-based ntent.

MTV BUTS 'LOGO' BLE CHANNEL TARGETG GAY MARKET

”The prospect of “Drag Race” on primetime Friday night TV is certaly excg for the anchise, but also prents challeng for queer spac, like bars and nightclubs, who have built bs mols around the Steven McEne, the manager of two popular gay bars Brooklyn, New York, the makg over of “Drag Race” to a primetime VH1 show on Friday nights prents a set of challeng to his bs. ”This ncern isn’t exclive to lol queer bs owners, as former “Drag Race” nttants are already ntendg wh the tensn between the show’s balloong populary and the sire to prerve what feels prec to the LGBTQ Del R, Courtney Act and Adore Delano at the "RuPl's Drag Race" at a viewg party for the season six Miller via Getty Imag“It’s one of those nfg thgs that we see onle and our gay bars around the world that as the gay muny be more mastream, the need for exclively gay spac, be they televisn works or brick and mortar gay bars, be seemgly ls necsary, ” season six falist Courtney Act told HuffPost.

Not to mentn, Logo was also home to a semal seri about the liv of black gay men, “Noah’s Arc, ” which premiered 2005, a time when diverse queer stori were rarely why, spe all of this programmg, do the LGBTQ muny 2017 tend to primarily associate Logo wh whens, abs, bchery and drag when all of the other stori are wh reach? ’”While realy-based programmg on Logo is not whout mer ― whom among wasn’t cur about a gay versn of “The Bachelor”?

LOGO FOR A GAY PORN WEBSE

“All too often so many of the diverse queer stori that Logo and other LGBTQ media outlets put out there fly unr the radar bee ’s not somethg that whe, cis gay men often share over social [media]. It’s time that we as a muny m to sharg, engagg wh and prrizg the elevatn of diverse, pellg stori that are reprentative of more than jt a whe, cis gay ial. NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Gay-lbian work Logo is movg to the work news bs, planng to televise a half-hour weekly newsst produced by CBS News.

He didn’t le out further news programmg based on how thgs new show will foc on gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr issu cludg the 2008 electn, HIV/AIDs and entertament, sports and science news.

Image my surprise, then, to read the Huffgton Post yterday that Logo is planng to program the gay away wh a new slate of shows schled for release later this year. Acrdg to a prs release announcg the shift, Logo feels that gay people have swum so far to the mastream over the past few years that they no longer sire entertament based solely on their sexual orientatn. Ben Harvey, a blogger and podster at HuffPo, explas what this new ”gay-ish“ lp will look like:.

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS KEV MAXEN BE FIRST PROFSNAL MALE ACH TO E OUT AS GAY

… Instead, the work has opted to green-light only female-iendly, gayish knock-offs of the realy shows Toddlers & Tiaras and Mob Wiv, wh show tl like En Wood’s World and Wiseguys. In his piece, Harvey manag to simultaneoly say that women “didn’t tune to see their gay bt iends makg a fool of themselv on [The A-List], ” (hurtg ratgs; though, to be fair, many gays didn’t like the show eher) and that “realy-show leads are bt left to the tried-and-tted bchy straight woman. ” Acrdg to Harvey, flamboyant gay men don’t do well as the lead realy show ntexts bee they lose their “unrdog” assistant/bt-iend/hairstylist appeal to female viewers.

Meanwhile, we should be thankful that Logo is “takg [gays] out of the spotlight” bee leav all the realy show embarrassment for flamboyant women.

'PASSAG' DIRECTOR NOUNC 'DANGERO' NC-17 RATG ON A FILM PICTG A GAY LOVE STORY

To put Harvey’s posn simply, Logo’s old mol has failed bee women (and some gays) don’t like watchg dramatic gay men lead rol, and that’s fe bee ladi are better at beg ridiculo like that anyway.
