Is LOGO TV watering down the Gay in their New Programming?

Well, LOGO TV never cease to disappoint. They just reveal a bunch of new shows that makes you wonder... Is this the Gay Network?

Here is the new programming for 2012:

• The Baby Wait—From Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley, the team behind Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant, this series will chronicle open adoption from the perspective of both the adoptive parents and the biological mother as she adjusts to life after giving away her child. The show will feature both gay and straight couples as well as single parents. (Greenlit)

• Scandalicious—A countdown show with flair, these specials will feature comedians and tastemakers alike as they voice their opinions on the most trivial of topics. Viewers may not learn much, but they will be amused. (Greenlit)

• Eden Wood’s World—Eden Wood achieved international fame by the tender age of six as perhaps the greatest beauty pageant contestant ever, and now she is taking her fame to NYC. Joined by her mom, her talent manager and a brand new publicist from the Big Apple, Eden is now aiming to become an actress/singer/model/entertainment superstar, while also helping young girls realize their pageant dreams with her super secrets to pageant success.

• Outrageous—A look at the most intriguing and shocking stories in pop culture, including everything from gay Republicans to Kim Kardashian’s wedding and brief marriage. (In Development)

• Wiseguys—Michel Verdi’s mafioso father has just got out of prison and is moving in with Michel as she runs three successful bars and restaurants in West Hollywood. The only problem? Michael also lives with her husband, her gay brother, her boy-crazy cousin and her mom/dad’s ex-wife—who is now remarried. (In Development)

• Design My Dog—From the team behind America’s Next Top Model comes this new reality show that tests the creative talents of dog owners as they are paired with a designer to complete the perfect look for their canine. (In Development)

• Love Lockdown—A new form of relationship therapy that finds couples undergoing a 24-hour intensive therapy session to deal with their problems. Along the way the therapist may come in for an intense talk or bring in key players who may have caused riffs in the pair’s relationship. In the end however, it is “blank” or get-off-the-pot. (In Development)

• RuPaul’s Drag U—One of Logo’s most popular shows is back for season three with a new twist as along with the famous diva makeovers, Ru and the queens will also be providing the fashion challenged women on the program with practical everyday beauty and style tips. (Renewed)

Seriously? These ideas sounds like something we would watch on college network. The good things from this announcement are: RuPaul's Drag Race is returning and that horrid series, A-List is out. Still, this change doesn't sound like a good thing, but Lisa Sherman, the General Manager and Executive Vice President of Logo thinks it is:

“Our goal at Logo has always been to be entertaining while honestly reflecting our viewers’ lives. We’re now reinforcing our commitment to them with programming that truly mirrors how many of them are living and want to be entertained today. There’s been a seismic shift in culture since Logo launched six years ago.”

Yeah, people say things like that when they are making a change that could have negative effects. Look, LOGO TV has never fulfilled its mission to be a strong Gay network. They have failed in truly satisfying the LGBT community with decent television. So now the execs are thinking that de-gaying, or in prettier terms, providing diverse programming will help? Child please.

This 'seismic shift' will lay to waste any attempt for a solid LGBT channel. So I have wonder what is the true reason for this change?

And most importantly, who asked for this?
