LOGO A NO-GO? At this writing the new MTV station LOGO will not be airing in Atlanta tonight when it launches around the country on cable television. LOGO is a gay network, which will feature LGTB programming 24 hours a day. Southern Voice reported this week that our local cable provider, Comcast, is still in negotiations to broadcast LOGO. A quick check of the network's website shows a clock counting down to tonight's launch, including programming like the GLAAD Awards and a show called Surfer Girls. Hmmm...wonder what that's about?
Of course, before the station even went live anywhere in the country, you had the Christian right crazies spouting this kind of nonsense:
"I don't think most parents want their children flipping channels on their way to the Cartoon Network and running across a scene of two men kissing in bed on the Logo network," Tim Wildmon, president of the American Family Association, told Cybercast News Service Network this month. "Most of us have enough to explain to our children nowadays."
Wildmon also warned that late-night programming on here! or Logo could turn pornographic. "The very nature of homosexuality is based on eroticism and the infatuation with sex," he told CNS News.

Hey, Wildmon, why don't you try and explain why you're a hate-filled, ignorant motherfucker? How about teaching and explaining the concept of tolerance? Poor Wildmon sounds like he's in desperate need of a blow job. Sounds like he's got some latent homosexual desires. How does he know homosexuality is "based on eroticism and the infatuation with sex" unless he's been smokin' a little rope? Loosen up, Timmy. It's cable.
Come on, Comcast! We want our GTV!
Comments
do nutjobs like Mr. Wildmon have NOTHING else to do, but monitor OTHER folks' t.v.-viewing habits?
If there's something you find objectionable, monitor your children, & turn it off.Or better yet, as Collin suggests, try to figure out why you're SO threatened by the thought of two people expressing love and/or sexual attraction, who happen to be members of the same gender.
Television which TRULY reflects the various ways in which gay people live has not been explored--it's LONG overdue!

So use it if you're so worried.
