Well I would like a poll to see how many support the Gay and Lesbian channel.I do not think it is apropriate for many reasons. The programing is fine but I hate seeing constant advertising for it on other HD channels while my kids are watching
 
I absolutely loved the Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars concert that they've been showing. That was really cool. I'd never seen David Bowie perform before.

I think too many people are thinking this is some Gay Porn channel, when really it's just a channel for some of the more "artsy" movies.
 
Well i don't care what they show. but i dont want ads for it showing up on other channels. especially in those "red couch" things. then it gets irritating.

Fine-so cancel Voom or get off this really boring topic.
 
If it was gay porn I would agree that it is not appropriate, but it isn't. It is a collection of standard movies and shows with a possible gay theme or charactor. And that is stretching it. How many would ban Tom Hanks in his Academy Award winning performance in Philadelphia?

Now as to the presenters. I don't like drag in any form and that is what I find objectionable. This is a stereo type of all gay people. My wife and I like the choice of movies but not the drag.
 
There have been some good movies shown on Devine. I also enjoyed the David Bowie concert, and also watched Madam Butterfly.

I do think that they are overdoing the entire "Gay" think especially when they keep harping it on the red couch segments.

I find it funny they have a guy in drag doing the announcements for the channel, I know for many gay folks they can't stand guys in drag. I had a gay friend once tell me "If I was attracted to someone in a miniskirt and fishnets I would have stayed straight." I guess he had a point. :)

As I said before if they did not call it a Gay / Lesbian Channel I really would have never known.
 
What a shocking ending on Madam Butterfly!!!! I find Hedda Lettuce, the channel host, is very entertaining.

I don't like the cross airing of any promos for any of the channels on another channel. Just tell me what's comming up on that channel. We have a guide to see what is on all the channels anyway.

Although we don't have much control over the promos on other channels, we do have the ability to lock out channels. If the channel offends that much just lock it out.

Personally I find the content of the VOOM 21 Exclusive channels (except for Auction, Gallery, MOOV, and Animaina) to be geared towards adults and not appropriate for children either because of "dirty words" or the programming is such that a child can't comprehend the story line or imagery.
 
I find the programs on Devine entertaining. Looking forward to "Priscilla, Queen of The Desert" and "The Producers." Cross airing promos might be questionable. But have you ever checked out the "Family & Kids" listings? Some listings are very questionable.
 
You may think at these times how "confused and deviant" we have become, when I look back at the 70's I see that this was nothing compaired to what was going on back then.

And look at inflation! The FREE LOVE you got in the 70's would now cost your about $500. :D
 
It's all a pendulum, baby. Just like the 80s needed a great man to return the nation to sanity, so too will the near future. Neither of the current choices are up to the task, sadly.

To stay somewhat on topic, I've yet to see a program on Divine that I'd want to watch. Sadly, I haven't seen any on Gunslingers either. It's so pathetic Voom pays more attention to filling out it's gay channel than its Western channel. You own Shane Voom, play it!
 
Don't care either way about the channel itself. I can block it. Just hate all the gayiety promoted on regular channels that kids may be watching. I was pissed at ABC last night, promos in prime time for a show about wife swapping and another about cheating wifes. Just what you want your kids to see.
 
Here we go agin, is there a reason you can't disagree w/this lifestyle w/out being labelled a homophobe?
I don't think it should be advertised either on other voom channels.

The degree of "deviant or disgusting" doesnt matter. It doesnt matter whether one shoots someone with one bullet or 10 bullets, its still murder. If voom wants this perversion on a channel then fine, theres nothing users can do about it. But advertising it on all the other channels is wrong. Does Anyone have the numbers of the homosexual subs so far?

I don't, and I don't think that it matters. Using your logic vurbano I would bet that more heterosexuals than homosexuals watch Divine. Does it mean that heterosexuals are more interested in this channel than homosexuals? :)
 
Vubano again I ask, if VOOM aired all the same movies on it which they are airing now yet did not call it a gay channel would you still be upset?

I honestly doubted you would have noticed.

Franky I do not really care if you or anyone else feels gays are good, bad, evil, nice etc. as this is SATELLITE forum not a forum where you should be airing your beliefs as they have nothing to do with Satellite. (And understand me I am not picking on you or saying your beliefs are right or wrong)

So does anyone know if Devine in 720p or 1080i? :D
