RuPaul's drag race, coming out stories, and... vampires?

Ahahahaha Buffy is on the Logo network.

Though really, that episode with the migraines and the fake sister is... actually quite creepy. Damn. I really don't want to get involved with this show! But I am charmed nonetheless.

(Also, this is kind of... surreal. There are queer people! All over my TV! And not in a gimmicky way, not in a secondary character or novel way, but... domestic. Cute lesbian couples trying to figure out which clown to hire for their kid's birthday party; gay guys having dinner together. It's just... damn. It's so normal.)

I know what you mean! I had the same reaction when I watched the gay channel around here for the first time. (it's called timm - we love men. *gigglesnort* but they have tons of lesbians, transexuals and pretty much anything else.)

it's called timm - we love men. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Of course. (Though it is kind of annoying that most GLBTQAI programming is dominated by gay men.) I have seen neither hide nor hair of transsexuals/transgendered people, intersex people, or really, any of the other letters on Logo, but I keep hoping. (Come on, guys. G and L are only two letters out of seven! Sometimes I feel like the "bisexual and transgender" is just tacked on for PC purposes without any real intent or, you know, inclusion. And hey, often "L" works the same way!)

Sadly my tv doesn't get it anymore (I still haven't figured out why) but I actually was surprised they had Sugar on it, which is about a girl who falls in love with her best (girl)friend (I didn't catch much of it though) since they advertise it as a channel for men.
It's pretty new and there was LOADS of Will&Grace which cracked me up every single time.
Once they had a really interesting documentary about gay and lesbian personas in history, no transgendered, bi, or anything else though.
Some time ago, I read one of those youth magazines when I was visiting my ten year-old cousin and they had some sort of overview of all the daily-soaps and what was happening then. I think five out of seven had a gay couple but I can't remember a singe lesbian one! I mean, it's great we get to see more gays but I find it kind of strange that they seem to be more accepted by society than lesbians are.
