I decided to mix it up on Nov 24th and watched the video news broadcast from Qtv, an online gay news and entertainment station, who stated Qtube on youtube to show their programs to a larger audience. It was a good day to watch, The Gay and Lesbian Day at Great America was on the 23rd, and there was some crazy partying going on!
I always wanted to know why they have a Gay and Lesbian day at Great America, and although the interviewed Great America source only said it was to honor the Bay area culture, damn those interviewers have a lot of energy. Everyone was so excited about what they were talking about on the program, from the Milk premier to checking in with clubs in the Castro, people where laughing and appeared quite overcome by it all. Also, the host's last name was Fudge, which in all good humor is hilarious to me.
the broadcast did a good job of capturing the voice of the culture as far as I could tell, because it seemed well rounded with it's interviewing subjects. They tended to ask young,energetic guys and gals questions, along with the older who seemed to think about what they were going to say more before they said it.When watching a story about prop 8, and the marriages being performed knowing full well that they could (and did) get overturned, it left now doubt in my mind that people should be allowed to persue happiness together. The sources were compelling, and although over-the -top with excitement at times, you couldn't look away.
In an area with such a large draw for this type of audience, the program was well written, had a good host, and was interesting to me. I think that a program in this arena needs a clear tone, and the tone of this program was energetic hope.
