This is a list of tv shows with gay, lesbian, other sexual minority, and gay/straight AIDS themes, for the tv week from Saturday, 8/06/94 though Friday, 8/12/94. Based on TV listings for the Phila/NJ area. Sat >> HEALTHWORKS. Airs Sat 8/6/94, 2:00 pm, CNN. TV Guide reports that C the scheduled topic is "surviving with HIV for more than a decade." Sat >> THE MAN WITHOUT A FACE (CC). Airs Sat 8/6/94, 8:00 pm, on HBO. $ Some folks might be interested in viewing this movie. It's one of those that is noteworthy not because of gay content, but because of the LACK of gay content. In the book on which the movie was based, the central character was a gay man. His sexuality was changed for the movie adaptation. Sat >> LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. Airs Sat-Sun., 8/6-7/94, 1:55 am, TNT. This C is the classic 1978 comedy that started the entire La Cage series. Ugo Tognazzi and Michel Serrault play a couple who run a gay drag club. Life is wonderful until their straight son decides to marry the daughter of a religious right-wing politician. Sat >> BROTHERS. Airs Sat-Sun, 8/6-7/94, 2:30 am in Phila Pa on WGBS ch L 57. This sitcom is worth taping. Of 6 regular characters (4 men, 2 women), 2 of the men are gay and proud. Sun >> HEALTHWORKS. See above. Airs Sun 8/7/94, 6:00 am (NOT pm!), CNN. C Sun >> PROTOCOL (CC). Airs Sun 8/7/94, 4:30 pm, Cinemax. Goldie Hawn $ plays a straight nightclub waitress who winds up as an ambassador. She shares a house with her best friends - a gay male couple, who are positively portrayed. Sun >> YENTL. Airs Sun 8/7/94, 8:00 pm, TNT. Barbra Streisand's 1983 C masterpiece. She plays a woman who wants to study the Talmud in Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. Since women aren't permitted to enter Yeshivas for religious study, she disguises herself as a male teen and enrolls. She winds up falling in love with her male study partner, but marrying his FEMALE ex-fiancee (who believes Streisand to be male)..... The score is fantastic, and this movie would have been absolutely PERFECT if it had just ended 30 minutes sooner. Recommended! Mon >> GERALDO: TRANSSEXUALISM AND PROSTITUTION.

One thing I want to clear up, I'm not depressed at all! Yes, both articles were depressing. But for the most part, my life is fine. 1: Broke-up with my lover in NC, probably for the better. 2: Quit my 5 month old job to do volumteer work for both Gay Games and Stonewall. Doing so now makes me more prouder than ever before! 3: Started a better paying job in July. 4: A dear friend wrote me a powerful letter which got my life pointed in the right direction and as a result, my dad finally told me he knows. I'm out to my parents, YEAH! And I'm happy to say, I passed my enterance exam and will be a full-time student, studying Business Administration at an adult tech school this fall.
