MTV unveils new gay cable TV channel

Saying they are building the television "home" for GLBT viewers, executives from MTV Networks announced Tuesday the creation of Logo, a basic cable channel that will launch next February.

Out of the closet and behind the gate

The first gated community marketed at gays and lesbians is under construction in a small Florida town. Will it be a queer utopia -- or one more sign of the fragmentation of America?

Whose Dream?

MAF Circle of Hope: Building Hope for Tomorrow

Dear Friends,

Just like us, those living with HIV and AIDS are people too.

They have aspirations, goals and dreams; they feel warmth, happiness and satisfaction. They have jobs that matter and families they love. Sometimes, all they need is a little bit of a helping hand.

The Malaysian AIDS Foundation's Circle of Fund does just that. It builds hope for tomorrow for many poor Malaysians living with HIV/AIDS. Donations to the Fund fuels hope that it will prevent AIDS from destroying families. Funds are used to provide medication, pay for the basic needs of our children, save our children from being orphaned and improve the financial independence of households struck by AIDS.

In conjunction with International AIDS Memorial Day which falls on 16 May, the MAF today launched its HOPE Campaign to raise funds to achieve just these objectives.


Donating to the Fund is simple.


* Visit our website at for

* Or sms "MAF" to 36886 to make an immediate contribution. Each sms is
RM 2.50


The HOPE Campaign is made possible through our partnership with ASTRO, Grey Pesaka and Red Communications.


** Don't forget to catch our public service announcements on the Fund. the
PSAs are aired on all ASTRO channels. **
