Nope, just being logical. It's a fact of life that NTL is a commercial entity, and like most commercial entities will do anything it can (legally) to increase it's income, while keeping it's outgoings to a minimum.

The channel being talked about in this thread is also a commerical entity, and, as such, is seeking to increase it's income while keeping outgoings down.

It is not in NTL's interest to be homophobic (if you believe the statistics, they would alienate 1/6th of their consumers, thus possibly losing a lot of money).
