Gay TV Survey Defies Stereotypes

TVA study on the TV habits of gays and lesbians revealed Monday they like "South Park" just as much as "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy."
Simmons Market Research followed the viewing habits of 19,000 gay and lesbian adults over the last year, the New York Post reported.
"South Park," which routinely pokes fun at the gay population, was the second most popular TV show behind "Queer Eye," with about 25 percent of gays saying they watched it in the past month, compared to 8 percent of the total population, the Post said.
Lesbians like "Law & Order: SVU," "Golden Girls" reruns on Lifetime and Spike TV's "Real TV" in far greater numbers than the general population, the study found.
Gay men are most likely to watch -- in this order -- Comedy Central, Discovery, Spike TV, A&E, Bravo, Sci Fi, CNN, Lifetime, Fox News Channel and HGTV, the study said.
Gay women, meanwhile, like premium cable channels such as HBO, A&E, USA, ESPN, Discovery, Lifetime, Showtime, Bravo, TNT and Starz.
