I found a hot show on Logo. The show is called Can't Get A Date. The episode I watched featured a gay man named Marc who had to overcome a negative self image to go on a date, something he had never done before.

The best part of the show was not Marc's coaching in Pilates from Mama Sutra or his breakthrough with Dick the Photographer. It wasn't even the best that the pear-shaped Marc eventually went on what looked like a fun date with a hotty named MJ.

The best part is the execution of the show. It takes itself seriously, with real advice that should be taken seriously. At the same time the show makes fun of its str8 counterparts (Blind Date, Extreme Makeover, What Not To Wear...) The pop up graphics are hilarious and included the definition of a houseboy and great amplifications of important breakthroughs for Marc, like his new "body awareness."

CBS News on Logo debuted a new (to me) term. Apparently, a significant number of young lesbians have come up with a new moniker: Gayelle. It's the feminization of gay. Hmmm. The gayelles don't want to be the butt of jokes like their lesbian forebears. Hmmm.

I never thought of lesbians (or gayelles...or whatever) as being particularly fond of feminizations of any masculine terms. Isn't that where the terms womyn and wymyn came from?

Sure enough, Wikipedia lists three terms for the word gayelle. The first is a television station on Trinidad and Tobago, the second is for lesbian and the third, ironically is for cockfighting. Hmmm. read more >>

So...I was watching a little bit of Logo last night, trying to learn more about being a Gay Man. My first hour consisted of an utterly atrocious show called Bad Girls. Let's recycle a bunch of Oz episodes into a semi-lesbian drama with some British accents thrown in for good measure.

But, ya know...I was working.

So I started analyzing the commercials. Maybe the answer to the age old question: if there were a gay television network who would advertise on it? would somehow add to my determined effort to figure out who I am as a gay man.
