A need? well that's a whole different debate. Do we need hetero porn channels? I don't personally but clearly there's an audience. Indeed, if there is a market for Gay TV it will survive, if not it won't. On the point of why "Gay TV", I would suggest this is a necessity of marketing, a need to communicate baldly what the channel offers to its target audience. Hetero channels can afford to be more subtle - Men & Motors doesn't call itself "Cheaply Generated Soft Porn With A Few High Power Cars & Bikes For Sexually Turbo-charged Hetero Men"! The channel owners need to hit promote their product in the most impactive way; calling it Gay TV is certainly a good start.
Finally, this is gay porn we're talking about. How can it
not be a seperate channel for gay (and bisexual) people?
