This is a list of Television shows for Saturday, 7/6/96 throught Friday, 7/12/96. 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. Dear readers, thanks for the support and donations you have sent. The situation with my family and employment hasn't gotten any better. Over the last two weeks, I have been job searching but no luck yet. I will publish my resume on my web page soon. Maybe somebody in Southern New Jersey can help by offering employment or knows of some job leads. DONATIONS are needed to keep Gay TV going. I may lose my on-line access by the end of July (phone, on-line services, etc. are over $100 a month). If you appreciate the work I do on Gay TV please help! Send donations payable to Michael F Biocco at my PO Box below. TV Guide's Web site has been giving me the wrong air times for many shows. Readers should check my posted air times to be sure. Wrong air times are one hour ahead or behind. Due to my situation, Gay TV will now be posted as time permits. Don't except it posted every week or on-time. Sorry. Gay TV is compiled in a DataBase Program Format on MS-WORKS. This file is available for download at my Web Site. >> STONEWALL. Opens this week in independent theaters that show gay films!
