Is there some wierd double standard toward gays vs. lesibans on MTV?
Watching MTV over the weekend and they have a couple of lame "game shows".. Next and Date My Mom... Both shows had gay guys choosing other gay guys to go out with which is fine by me.. But neither show had lesbians picking lesbian partners... Thought that was kind of wierd.. I am not gay and actually wanted to see some girl on girl tv, but is there something more taboo about it?

I haven't yet seen a lesbian "Date My Mom" episode however one could have aired and I missed it mainly since I don't go out of my way to catch episodes of that show. (not a big fan)
i stand corrected then about Next..

I would like to see more lesbians on tv. Of course, all lesbians are hot. And covered in oil. And in bikinis. And . . .
Oh, sorry. I had to . . . umm . . . go somewhere.

agreed... which is why i was surprised to not see a lesbian version of these shows... but it appears i was wrong

I agree Gay men on TV are more of a taboo.
Anyone see Strip Search on VH1? Not gay men necessarily but the show about guys training for a Male Review show certainly has a gay audience. It must be all those shirtless guys wearing g-strings.

There's another show on VH1....Kept.
I think they're trying to compete with Bravo and Logo!
