The statistics tell us that homosexuals are in the (numerical) minority - until new evidence tell us otherwise, they remain a 'minority'.

Well the old 'I'm not homophobic but..' ploy won't wash. Just because there isn't a demand doesnt mean they shouldnt show a gay lifestyle channel. The horse racing channels may have some demand, but there are pleanty of animal rights activists who would not like that sort of channel on the system

You're missing the point - such channels needs to be econimically viable - if the interest is not percieved to be there, NTL simply won't buy in to a channel they feel they won't make money from.
