Trashy Reality TV Goes Gay! (VIDEO)

What's Your Reaction:

Good news, everybody! Equality for gay men and women isn't as far away as it seems. Screw getting married! Go to hell, Army! I don't need you anymore! I've got equality where it counts - trashy reality shows!

Yup, they are no longer the sole province of crazy straight people and Kardashians. LOGO's "The A-List" does its humble part for gay equality by showing that self-absorption is open to all regardless of sexual orientation!

Catch infoMania on Current TV, Thursdays at 10 p.m.

I'd like to see a show resembling "A Single Man"

"Two and a half men, how i met your mother" the behaviors are the same as alot of straight single men, without cursing and 'reallife' stuff.

Another stumbling block which promotes misconception of gay life and people against gays will believe it. Somethings are better left untouched no matter how "it just for fun" you think it may seem.

"and we are not saved..."

Are u suggesting that gay life doesn't involve egomaniacs, narcisism, diva like behaviors?

I'm with you on this one alex. That's not to say all gays are like this, or even more than a small fraction. But to deny they exist is foolish.

This show is just downright disgusting. I cringe when people ask my views on this. I HATE HATE this mockery of the quote A-List lifestyle and the fact this just pushed gay rights back to the end of the line for any reasonable discussion now. Angle,Paladino and O'Donnell have plenty of fodder now if any gay rights issues come up now they will flash a shot of these CLASSLESS QUEENS trying to have fun at some porn premiere with Bruce Villanch and WHOOOSSSSSSHHHHHH goes are chance at any possibilities at equality.

lol. Don't overreact. Yes, they're shallow, selfish, self-absorbed, and spoiled, as are 95% of the housewives on all the "Real Housewife" shows. Those shows haven't set women's rights back, just our cultural evolution-they stopped that cold.

I'm 'a straight' but I like the show. I know all gays are not like this, but, hey, its tv....reality-tv --- who actually takes some of these show's at face value?
02:49 PM on 10/24/2010
As a gay man living here for fifty years, these losers would never make it onto anyones list. Only the latin guy is slightly hot, where he could sail on his looks, but he is dumb as a bag of rocks. As are the others.

Austins slighty hot too.

Has anyone filled the posiiton for gay rights' verison of the native american beside the road shedding a single tear? If so, I'm sure EVERY OTHER GAY PERSON IN THE COUNTRY could apply, I know I just shed a single tear by being represented by these "A-listers"

"The A List" has set the gay rights cause back about 20 years.

Hey Bryan, you are so lucky I'm in love with my hubby of 17 years! This is one less stalker you have to worry about. I love seeing your That's Gay clips on HuffPo-- as Rosie would say, what a cutie patootie!

If you like watching "That's Gay" clips on Huffington Post, you should watch InfoMania on Current. That is where the clips come from, and the entire show is great.

Haven't seen the show, Va Comcast is too conservative but, some straights will never like us. Not if we dress in suits during Gay Pride Parades, not if tv shows are all serious and on PBS, and not even if we join the Republican Party and act like we fit in.

Our goal can't be for them to like us. Screw them.

I agree about VA Comcast, but I watched 2episodes online and as a GM it didn't set me back, but reinforced to type of ppl I choose to not want to be around. My friend likes it, I don't. But if Snooki can have a reality show, I won't begrudge anyone else for doing so.

That Infomania video was dead on!

Gays are human like everyone else. Some are just like the straight reality TV personalities – so desperate for some notoriety that they will embarrass themselves on film.

Agreed -- those A-List wanna-be faux celibs are all under 30 too. Wait until they (gasp) get a gray hair on their chest. Oh right, they wax their body hairs so they can never look older than 19!!!

Ha! The trying to look perpetually 19 is very sad indeed. My hubby and I are just amazed when we see this on display anywhere. I'm in L.A. so you can imagine, I see it far too often.

Fanned for being a breath of sanity.
