That's a bad idea.

Okay...Logo, the (nominally) gay and lesbian network that wouldn't run an ad by the UCC promoting their message of acceptance has announced their plans for new original programming.

These include

a reality show that gives lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) participants an opportunity to confront friends and loved ones who have disowned them because of their sexuality.

That's a bad idea. That's a really, really bad idea. It's also, unfortunately, so typical of reality and talk shows which however much they may spew about building bridges, are about creating confrontation and never mind the consequences.

Even allowing that I haven't seen this reality show, I can't imagine how it's going to be about anything other than making a bad situation worse and exploiting the pain of others in hopes of good ratings.

Does anyone remember the Jenny Jones "gay crush" killing?

Also in their programming:

-- "That Gay Ghost," a half-hour sitcom pilot that centers on the members of a conservative family whose lives are changed when they discover that a gay ghost named Cosmo is living in the closet of their new home.

Wait a minute...that's Topper!
