FEARnet - Surprisingly Gay Inclusive

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that FEARnet, the free on-demand horror network, is more gay-inclusive than I would have imagined. For example, regarding gay-initiated projects, this month they are showing out horror-author Clive Barker's Midnight Meat Train - a very chilling tale indeed.

Also, I've noticed that GLB characters pop up on FEARnet when you least expect it, for example, in this month's 2001 Maniacs which stars horror great Robert Englund (of Freddie Krueger fame) there's a great gay/bi male character that gets treated as horribly as the straight victims...err... cast members.

It is very refreshing to see gay/bi characters appear in a genre of movies that has historically lacked them.

NOTE: Since this on-demand channel shows movies, I've posted this topic under MOVIES rather than TV since it doesn't show TV shows.
