I am actually seeing the need now for this type of channel (and as someone said you could just lock the channel). Although this is a bad example, its kinda like gamers wanting a channel dedicated to games on ntl, i want it, other people want it, but some people will see it as a waste of space.

But isn't what digital tv is about, more channel space so the 'minorities' can be catered for?

(PS doing my own research last night its around 1 in 6 are homosexual, thats a lot of people for a minority!)
