'Tales of the Sissy' is a play on words related to Armistead Maupin's novel 'Tales of the City' which chronicles the daily lives of several seemingly unrelated people. Since my blog chronicles my daily life and I am gay (hence the stereotype 'sissy'), I decided to call my blog 'Tales of the Sissy'.

Disappointed with LOGO
For several years I have enjoyed the programming on the LOGO network, a cable station with GLBT-themed programming. I enjoyed watching gay-themed films like "To Wong Fu: Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar", gay-themed original series like "Noah's Arc", and a gay-themed comedy show called "The Big Gay Sketch Show". I always knew where to turn when I wanted a dose of gay in my entertainment.
But about a year ago or so, something changed, and not for the good. In place of all that GLBT-themed entertainment, LOGO now runs series like "16 and Pregnant", "Teenage Mom", and "Roseann".
WTF??? I understand that MTV owns LOGO and those shows air on MTV, but why in the world would a network for GLBT people run programming about unwed teenage mothers???
Until a month ago the ONLY GLBT-themed show on this network was reruns of past seasons of "RuPaul's Drag Race". As much as I enjoy watching that show, I don't need a 12-hour marathon of an entire season in 1 day.
Just recently LOGO has added "Will & Grace" reruns which is fun, but it doesn't make up for all the hours of programming geared toward MTV audiences.
Where are the gay-themed films, original series, and comedy shows???
Indeed I am disappointed with LOGO
