Michael Biocco, of Delphi's Gay Forum, who has been reformatting my lists and reposting them to multiple newsgroups for several years, has decided to try his hand and creating weekly gay tv lists. I'm forwarding his first one below. THANKS TO MICHAEL FOR GIVING THIS A TRY. Warmly, Carol Mortimer, NJ Subj: =-= Gay TV: 4/6-4/12 =-= Date: 96-04-06 05:18:58 EST From: NOT2@delphi.com (Michael, The Manager Of DELPHI's Gay Forum) To: Carolm10@aol.com . ----------------------------------------------- GAY TV GAY TV GAY TV GAY TV GAY TV ----------------------------------------------- . COMPILED BY MICHAEL F BIOCCO . Hello friends! This is a list of Television shows for Saturday and Sunday, April 6 & 7. All shows are Eastern Time unless otherwise noted. Based on TV listings for the Phila/NJ/NYC area. The list covers Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Transgendered, Gay/straight AIDS themes, and other sexual minorities. . CAROL MORTIMER did NOT compile this list. I did. Sorry to say she retired last week. We will miss her work! . Bare with me folks, this is the first time I have done this from scratch. So that I can get this out on time, I'm giving you Saturday and Sunday only at this point. I should have the rest of the week out by Sunday evening. Boy-o-boy this takes a long time. I only got through reading Saturday and Sunday portions of three TV Guides. . I used some of Carol's descriptions and they are clearly marked with ~~Quotes~~ ---CAROL M. . . >> THE CELLULOID CLOSET. Just released this weekend to movie theaters, check with you local independent theater that 'would' carry gay titles! "A fascinating and fun compendium of clips and all-star interviews about the portrayal of gays and lesbians in film. Not nearly as militant as Vito Russo's book on which it's based. This documentary is none the less a MUST SEE for the gay community as well for the straights who goes to the movies!" Says The Courier-Post. They rated it with 5 stars meaning EXCELLENT! This movie aired one-time-only on HBO last month. . R V >> TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, JULIE NEWMAR. Airing on Pay-Per-View in April, so check your DSS or Cable System guide. Also available at video rental stores. The story about three drag queens who travel cross country. When their Cadillac convertible conks out in a Midwestern town, these three "girls" work a little magic, spread a little love, and revitalize the town. Starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo. Despite what some critics say, I think this ranks up there with the other all-time great gay movies! . R V >> MURIEL'S WEDDING. Airing on Pay-Per-View in April, so check your DSS or Cable System guide. Also available at video rental stores. TV Guide says "Tale of a warm but klutzy woman who worships Abba and is determined to have the wedding of her dreams. Toni Collette, Bill Hunter." . Sat >> BALLOT MEASURE 9.
