Thanks! SECRETARY BY DAY...TV STAR BY NIGHT... STAR-STUDDED QUEER T.V. TO AIR SOON (WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA--USA) Over two years ago, while working as a transcriptionist in a world-famous medical center, Nicholas Snow (aka The Tinseltown Queer) embarked on the path that has made him, perhaps, the world's most prolific producer of television programming with a specific purpose of examining and strengthening the relationship between the entertainment industry and the Queer (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgenderist, transexual) civil rights movement. While holding down a full-time "day job", Snow has produced over 60 episodes of "TInseltown's Queer!", to become one of the most visible openly gay people in Hollywood. Snow's stated editorial mission of "Tinseltown's Queer!" is "to mobilize the entertainment industry into unceasing public advocacy of the Queer civil rights movement." Snow has many colorful descriptions for his show, including his favorite--"A Queen's Version of Larry King"--and others--"The Solution to Rush Limbaugh," "The Queer Equivalent of Oprah Winfrey," and "Lifestyles of the Queer and Fabulous." Current episodes of Tinseltown's Queer! feature major out power figures in entertainment, including Melissa Etheridge, Amanda Bearse, Barry Krost, Lynda Montgomery and Lea Delaria, as well as the late actor, Tom Villard. Also featured are some famous advocates of Queer and AIDS issues, including Christina Applegate, Brenda Vacarro, Cheech Marin, Roseanne, and mega-producer (Forrest Gump) Steve Tisch; and famous Queer literary figures, including Paul Monette, Armistead Maupin and Tony Kushner. Many of the star-studded episodes of Snow's show have been co-produced by well-known video activist, Bob LaFont (Bob LaFont Video Productions--Long Beach, CA).
