Rainbow Media Unveils DIVINE HD First Ever 24/7 High-Definition Gay Movie Channel

[vinnyv07]

I really never watch the cin 10 ch's anyway and ch's like these will make me turn even faster away from them. I understand that you have to have something for everyone...but this is something thats no going to make VOOM better for the most part. I am sincerely disappointed in this decision. A wrong turn for VOOM.

I don't see how VOOM would be catering to gays by adding this channel. Do they cater to racing fans by having a racing channel, or golfers by having a golf channel, or to the fashion conscious by having a fashion channel? If there is something I want to watch on that channel, then I will watch it. If there is not, I won't, just as I do on all the other channels.

I subscribe to the VOOM Yahoo group and this subject is burying it. I cannot believe the irrational and intolerant beliefs that some of these people have, hoping VOOM will fail because they have a "gay" channel. I am sure if gays were disappear then these same people would be after the next group on their probably long list of undesireables.
Maybe VOOM could cater to these people and add an Intolerant channel showing films and programs that promote the virtues of being a bigot and not having any respect for beliefs that differ from their own. Now THAT would truly be a degenerate channel and I hope it would be a premium channel, so I would not have to pay for it.

I see the Pro-Queers here deleted the posts that disagreed to their beliefs, is that how these Straightaphobics run this Forum?

Divine is a mistake, and it will bury them fast. Good riddance!!!!!!!!!

Last night I got about 3 hours of sleep. I had been very excited about getting Voom - I kept on checking this forum, trying to plan how the install would go, trying to figure out the best place for the dish to be located, etc

I'm sorry if I come off as a wetblanket... It's been a long day.

Obviously everyone has their own references and their opinions are going to reflect those sources.

It's not the presence of homosexuality that's made me cancel my install. It's the feeling that it's being made more and more mainstream. I would be just as disappointed in Voom if they made the Playboy channel a mainstream channel. Perhaps Voom would consider moving that Diva channel to an option that you could choose, rather than requiring it in the basic setup.

It's kind of like the old story of the frog in the boiling water. Before you know it, you'll be cooked. I guess for me, it was just time to jump out of the pot. My hope is that they'll listen to their Christian customers and make some adjustments.

I doubt they will listen to those with Morals, because the Rainbow Warriers are out of their closets and are proud, scary too, they dared to name their Queer channel "Divine" which is a slap in the face of the Almighty God which is Divine.

I'm canceling once I get my Directv setup back online,

VOOM I will come back if you remove Divine!!!!

Steve and savethefamily,
Voom has tons of channels that, I hope, you can find "clean". Why are you guys punishing yourselves by canceling Voom?

Punishing? Maybe Voom with not receiving any more of my money, Directv will do just fine for now, I cannot suport a company that is so anti-family

Hmm, there is ABC Family channel on Voom, there is Showtime Family, Starz Family, maybe a few more explicitly pro-family channels. Why don't we call Voom pro-family then? Because of one channel that we have not yet seen?

If there was an option for "Voomfamily" that excluded special focus on sexuality, I'd be signing up.

It's kind of like me walking up to someone on the street and saying, "Say, ya know I have sex with my wife!" No one cares, no one wants to have sexuality (heterosexuality or homosexuality or beastiality or fetishism, etc) pushed upon them. By specially designating one station "pro-homosexuality", it's like walking into our homes and saying, "Hey look at our way of life."

I agree with szman167, DirecTV will not be able to sit back and take a beating on the lack of viable HD.

It's also interesting to note that Directv has at least 4 Christian stations (The Church Channel, Trinity Broadcasting Network, The Word, World Harvest Television). Vooms' pushing homosexuality over anything like those stations. Voom is definitely setting themselves up to be labeled "Anti-Christian" and if anything that's likely to be bad for business in the long run.

anti-family?

Did you bitch when Playboy was added?
Direct TV has porn on it too. Your hero Rupert (I own half the media) Murdoch makes quite a bit off porn, is that family programming. Do you watch porn with your kids and grandparents?

So what a gay channel is coming, don't watch it.

Well, I have some "bad" news for you. I called DirectTV. The CSR said that they are going to be carrying Viacom's LOGO channel. He could not give an exact date as to when it will go active though. Since a CSR answer is equal to an answer from a Magic 8 Ball, it is not cut into stone.

So, please just relax, lock out the channel, and stay with Voom.

 

[red ufo]

hehe,

I just went to a bunch of porn sites and filled out the boxes that said notify me of new porn in my email box and guess what email I used?

Fun new hobby, good times!

Ok, are those 4 Christian stations on D* pay-per-view? Hell no, I have no choice and I have to pay for them! Should we say that D* is "pushing Christianity"?

Please tell us.

My wife is not gay and I'm sure she will watch this channel often.

Diversity is good for Voom. Get over it.

 

[Seawaves]

Hey Savethefamily-

Maybe this channel will convice "Savethegayfamily: to sign up for Voom!

LMAO

 

[vurbano]

Comeon guys, havent you ever stopped to wonder that voom announces something like this and then a D* flamer just might create an account on the very same day and start flaming for fun? This bologna is getting old. I wouldnt even respond to this guy.

 

[Tvlman]

I just looked at the list of movies on the "Devine" announcement. Includes "The Producers" and "Priscilla, Queen of The Desert" two good films. If the films are good I'll watch.

 

[keno]

Here's good news! DirecTV has announced they will be adding a "gay" channel. Dish will follow shorly. Cables will follow suit.
