Campy 'My Husband's Not Gay' Special Tanks on TLC

OK, so your husband's not gay. Apparently, he ain't worth watching, either.

Anyone worried that TLC's controversial special "My Husband's Not Gay" might spur either a sequel, or worse yet a series, can rest at ease. The "reality" documentary ranked 69 among all cable offerings on Sunday night.

69? (tee hee)

According to the Orlando Sentinel, the program's lead-in on TLC was the popular program "Sister Wives" which drew in 1.4 million viewers, 400,000 of which turned the channel when "My Husband's Not Gay" came on.

Although it's clear that due to ratings, "My Husband's Not Gay" won't have a future as a series, it may be destined to become a cult camp classic with gay audiences. A review of the special in The Atlantic describes several scenes in the show, including one where the wives and husbands take turns sizing up waiters.

"I don't feel like I fit the mold of guys that are attracted to other men," says a single "gay" man on the show named "Tom." "Other than my deep and abiding love for Broadway show tunes. And my attraction to males -- those are the two things that are kind of gay about me."

Sounds like a drinking game in the making.

The program, which followed a group of Mormon men who "are happily married and attracted to their wives but also attracted to men," soon drew fire among LGBT activists who saw the show as an endorsement of gay conversion therapy. A Change.org petition was launched and quickly garnered over 100,000 signatures in a matter of days.

"This show is downright irresponsible,"�GLAAD�president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said. "No one can change who they love, and, more importantly, no one should have to.�By investing in this dangerous programming, TLC is putting countless young LGBT people in harm's way."
