Watch: Preview for LOGO's Gay NYC Housewives Series 'The A List'
Amazing Race winner Reichen Lehmkuhl is the lead gay in LOGO's take on the "real housewives" genre. The NY Post's Jarett Wieselman today posted interviews with Lehmkuhl and the rest of the cast.
Watch the preview, AFTER THE JUMP...
(via omg)
So we can only watch stuff about gays that is the most serious thing in the world and what WE call entertaining?
Oohh Kay.

"Reality" TV in general makes me a bit embarassed for humanity in general. Oh look, another rerun of "America's Next Top Extreme Home Makeover" is on. Yawn.

Ok gents, last time: You're is a contraction of the words YOU and ARE, as in: You're not typing the correct word. Whereas your is a possessive adjective, as in: Your panties are in a bunch. Whose panties? Yours. You're the one. Who's confused? Their means theirs, not yours. They're means THEY ARE. They're in a bunch. Theirs too, I bet. Ok, there, now we'll all sound like we never even watched this abortion of a show which is neither here nor they're. It's on Logo.

effing barf. these are the guys who think they have it all, run themselves ragged trying to keep it going and then end up dying alone. It's LAUGHABLE! And who was that ugly, balding blond girl? Why is she considered A-list? I just thought she was High-maintenance and completely annoying...oh wait that IS being A-List. you can have it, I happily want ZERO part of any of that life...except the occasional spa treatments.

I DON"T have a pot to piss in...will the mouth of one these "power gays" do?

These people are gross - I'd rather be on and hang with the Z-list if they represent 'A.'

Oh So I guess Reichen Lehmkuhl is no longer a "straight" acting gay anymore (like she was ever) This show looks as boring as the real housewives shows.

I really thought that we as a community were above this type of "HATE" TV. There's nothing positive about these people, they air this shit to force young gay men to think that if the aren't on an A list that their not worth much. You know we're already fighting the rest of the world why offer an extra slap in the face LOGO!

"If you don't have a pot to piss in, you probably shouldn't be here" Uh, I'm guessing the coattail queen narrating this piece.
And Lehmkuhl, how far does $1,000,000 get you. Let me see, you broke up with your beau, so that splits it down the middle. Then the IRS and state in which you reside probably take another 30% or better in taxes leaving you with what? So this makes you A-list? At your age, you should either be getting something on to supplement your retirement or reinvest that money to make it work for you, instead of whoring around New York. Five years from now, we'll be hearing about how you went bankrupt.
Pass!

The Boston South End is also sickly full of vapid hurt children with shriveled souls like this as well ... trying to shove other people down with their consumerism and economic elitism.... all as a way to make the hurt that comes with the self-loathing those with Narcissistic Personality Disorder feel.

Don't hate the city, hate the game.
I've said for years.... If a gay alien landed from another planet, and you tried to convince him/her that Logo was "gay TV", or a positive influence, or worth even several minutes of precious time before heading back to the home galaxy for brunch, you'd have one confused alien on your hands. (And not in a good way!)
As an exercise, watch some Logo but imagine you're watching a channel designed to defame and alienate. It all makes a lot more sense. Sounds like this show (I didn't click through...) is more of the same.

Um, this seems like it was created by heterosexuals as it only deals in stereotypes prevalent amongst...straight people...about gays...

Half of the people bitching on here will be watching this show; that is if they have digital cable or LOGO. It's just entertainment folks, LOGO shows plenty of "real life" gays and other movies and shows as do the other networks.
If straights can have their vapid, socialite, reality crap programming, why can't we?

@SSCHIEFRSHA "Great, now our own media is perpetuating stereotypical Gaydom."
Well remember this is not "our own media" -- this is crap being pushed out by corrupt corporate employees and executives for ratings. By producing this they have PROVEN they are not in it for the Gay Community any more than the same company runs MTV so we can have great musicians and talent celebrated.

Delusional.....BROKE....uneducated..shallow...sick in the head queens! And you see why people hate gay people???
Posted by: shannon | Aug 31, 2010 1:52:46 PM
This is why I don't live in NYC...shallow values all based on looks & money!

@Keith: You're forgetting his line of titanium jewelry and his Emmy nominated stint on Dante's Cove.

Another lifelong gay New Yorker - this isn't the city I know.
First - we don't have a gay community here - we have a hundred. Banking gays, finance gays, arts gays, fashion gays . . . people seem to find their circle.
NYC is a competitive city for gays and straights alike. You come here to achieve something. And I think that's how you're judged here - on what you've done.
I'm sure they're out there, but I've rarely seen queers this vapid here - and certainly not above the age of 23. It's not cute when you're 30+, boys.
Posted by: fbg | Aug 31, 2010 2:03:56 PM
re: "if this is what NYC is like" etc etc etc. It's not.
Remember that these loser wannabes all came here from smaller towns and cities - like the ones you're writing from - and brought their tragic queen baggage with them. No need to lay the blame on New York.
But, could you please get them to go back?
Posted by: ant | Aug 31, 2010 2:07:43 PM
Well, that's 74 seconds I'm never getting back...

On what planet are these guys A-list?
Posted by: Steve Collins | Aug 31, 2010 2:09:02 PM
People who are using this to bash NYC have absolutely no clue what NYC is about. It's certainly not about these self-proclaimed "A-gays." The beauty of the NYC scene is that no matter what your niche, you'll find your crowd. So yes, vapid gold-digging famewhores have a whole crowd that supports them, but so does every other scene you can imagine.
I have no respect for the guys in this show. I also have none for the hateful creatures who are using them either to attack NYC, or to attack some putative notion of what if means to be gay.
Posted by: Dan E | Aug 31, 2010 2:10:02 PM
Can we seriously start a boycott of LOGO to stop them from airing this? I am not joking!
Seeing this is mortifying. If there was such a thing as A-list gays, they would never say they were A-list. A-list gays would never be fame whores, they would quietly use power to better their community. I am not saying A-list don't get facials, or buy expensive clothes, travel, have nice homes, go to openings and parties, they just are not, well, these people.

Well if Bravo can show the dregs of straight society with their 'Housewives' series...
This shit looks terrible and the big problem is that it only perpetuates a stereotype. I think people would have been fine watching normal couples go through cute and normal issues. Maybe this is just the preview they're using, but this does not look entertaining.
Posted by: Joe | Aug 31, 2010 2:25:21 PM
I cannot stand this golddigger! Ugh. I totally felt he used Lance Bass. I will never watch a show with this assclown in it.
EVER.
Why can't they make a show about Prince Poppycock??
Now THAT I would pay money to see.
