But being gay isn't a discrimination. Gay people, those that want equality, shouldn't expect people to act differently around them or to treat them specially. All they want to do is to be treated NORMALLY, like anyone else would.
After asking a few of my gay relatives and friends about this I found out that they'd feel quite discriminated AGAINST if they were considered a social responsibilty. I think you'll find that the majority of gay people would like to see a gay channel, but realise that if the demand is not there then it wont be launched. Just as I realise that the demand isn't there for a 24/7 techie channel.
But, alas, the eternal question still hasn't be answered. What exactly is on these so called "gay lifestyle" channels? Because from what I've heard the majority of gay people have found it quite patronising and gimmicky.
