Now, isn't it a bit academic to be discussing whether NTL is homophobic or not, when these channels do not want to launch on Cable?

Please don't missquote me. Representation of a minority is not the same as positive discrimination. Plenty of racists used that argument to keep the ethnic minority down in the early days of racism. And it is keeping on thread, the title say Gay channel, not gay channel blah blah blah.
And I've already said that just because ONE employee of NTL says they are not homophobic, that doesnt mean that the people at the top aren't.
The economic argument is the same as the positive descriminatiion one, it keeps the minorities down even longer.
