"The Sundance Channel, in cooperation with LOGO, a homosexual-themed cable network created by VIACOM is airing an eight-part series on so-called sex change operations in September, 2005. LOGO launches on June 30. The show, “TransGeneration” will follow the lives of four sexually confused college students who believe they are the opposite sex. Each of them undergoes a so-called sex change operation."

If this LOGO gay network can hold it's own commercially, I say rots' o ruck'. I personally have my doubts that most gays out there want to ghettoize themselves like that. Seeing as network and cable TV has got gay-themed shows up the wazoo already.

What I don't like is that these sex-change documentaries (and we have already been treated to a ton of them on the Discovery Channel, etc. never do any follow-up and see just how many of these unfortunates come to bitterly regret what they've done to themselves. I wonder in New York still forces Medicaid to pay for sex-changes like they have for years now.

"I personally have my doubts that most gays out there want to ghettoize themselves like that..."

Well, I dunno, the ones I've dealt with practically have a secret handshake (insert joke here, so to speak...).

That raises a side issue: nobody with a lick of sense claims a monolithic political outlook for any other minority group; why should they be any different? There're enough pro-abortion, pro-drug-decriminalization, pro-evolution Republicans around - you can go to just about any thread here and find proponents on both sides.

I think the problem they have with the GOP is they claim they want "tolerance." This is nonsense, they want APPROVAL, a "clean different thing."

If this LOGO gay network can hold it's own commercially, I say rots' o ruck'. I think the shows creators honestly believe they are providing a public service and "fighting the good fight." “We believe that the underground of today is the mainstream of tomorrow, and that the true innovators of the present are found not at the crest of pop culture, but lie just underneath."

An interesting choice of phrases.
