Title: Turner Classic Movies has been screening gay themed
Post by: Kd5000 on June 19, 2007, 07:32:24 pm

films every Monday and Wednesday during the month of June.  There hosted by Richard Barrios  and Robert Osborne.     Has anybody been watching the films? I've seen some of them already.  There was an article in the newspaper today titled TCM SHINES SPOTLIGHT ON GAY FILMS.  Rather progressive of TCM to show older gay themed films at reasonable hours. Wish our PBS station ( I know they'd get flack) would do likewise.  I don't have cable right now (hard to believe) so I'm missing out on this.

Here's the link from TCM. It's a good read and gives alot more details about the movies then the schedule I'm posting. Brokeback Mountain isn't scheduled. Well it's a bit early for it to be going on TCM.   ;)

That article was interesting to read.  And BBM gets mentioned in the very last sentence.
