    Not really homophobia

    Anonymous, I don't think our armchair cultural critic Tomreedon was being homophobic. Why is it when criticizing anything to do with race or sexuality there is suddenly an "ist" or "obia" attached? I think all he was saying was, heck, Showtime can't nurture anything but lame, culturally irrelevent shows about gay people that use dirty words and graphic sex in place of meaningful dialogue. I noticed that too. (even though the new Showtime serial killer show seemed so good it almost made me subscribe. Almost.)
