Special Report: AfterElton.com looks at Gays In Primetime...

Kudos to AfterElton.com for producing what looks to be the most in-depth examination ever undertaken concerning the issue of gay representation on network television. In Part One which was posted today, the entertainment presidents of the five broadcast networks -- Stephen McPherson of ABC, Kevin Reilly of Fox, Dawn Ostroff of the CW, Nina Tassler of CBS, and Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC -- are asked about why gay representation on TV has actually dropped during the past decade.

Their answers will probably surprise you. Here is a LINK to the piece.

Tomorrow comes Part 2 and includes interviews with some of the most successful writers, creators, and show runners including Silvio Horta (Ugly Betty), Greg Berlanti (Brothers & Sisters, Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone), Bill Lawrence (Scrubs), Paris Barclay (NYPD Blue, Law & Order, In Treatment), and Max Mutchnick (Will & Grace). I will also post a link to that piece.
