. . .nor any way to download the show either, for those of us who get stuff via satellite (to wit, there is no local TV station to watch it on, so downloading's the only viable option. . . )

Bummer.

From what I saw at the show's link, it looked like one could almost assume that the "women that love gay men" that the show was addressing were probably straight. Of the links they did post, the only one I recognize is the Straight Spouse Network. I looked into that one once, as an effort to try to understand what jemstone (who is straight) might be going through as I was discovering my (bisexual) attraction to other women. I found it (for me, applying to bisexuality) useless. ...It seemed highly tailored toward straight spouses of gay spouses (not bi).

The rest of the show (the first two segments) was about straight (well, really "apparently straight") women. Those links applied rather directly to their stories, particularly that of the second story.

Charles promised me links on the page. I gave him links; he wrote them down, said they'd be posted. Liar.

Oh, your eyes looked fine, but you know that saying about how the camera adds ten pounds? They made you look, um, wider than you are. But at least you had your say, however briefly. In so doing, you showed yourself to be a differently-oriented person (from the POV of the typical home viewer, anyway) who is articulate and presentable and not "threatening" to the target audience. That at least was something.

They also got some nice smiley reaction shots of you a little later on. It didn't seem to me to be as bad as you had feared.
