I watch a lot of television, probably too much. But can you really watch too much TV? I've yet to find out. Anyway, I especially love TV when they give us positive portrayals of gays, something that has gotten better but we're still fighting for. I've written about gays in television for many years first at the much missed After Elton, then New Now Next and now at TV Source. It's kind of a passion of mine and I look forward to sharing it with you.

  1. I have to chuckle at your Shadowhunters review… Ah, the joy of watching a show for teenage girls. Gotta make time for romance even with demons hot on your trail. One of the point of the Clary/Jace kiss out in the open is so Alec can see it, and hopefully it will help drive Alec into Magnus’ arms.
