I believe there were different people here -
One called the channels crap
Another called the "alternative lifestyle" guy a homophobe.
Personally, i think the phrasing of the "alternative lifestyle" guy is more offensive.
If he were to criticize someone for wanting a channel catering to Blacks or Jews, he'd be banned (or reprimanded), but gays seem to be fair game.
But back to the subject at hand, there are just so many channels out there I could care less about which is fine, that's what favorite lists are for, but I do think that all groups deserve some kind of representation with the channel packages - especially with such a large number of offerings out there. One persons enjoyment is another's filter.
