Sex Matters

On June 11th, 2008 Tate Nova said:

When are you going to start airing content that addresses matters of gender and sexuality in a dynamic and engaging way? It's been years since KQED aired Tales of the City and Tongues Untied. It's 2008.

When am I going to watch an American Masters that features a transgendered person? When am I going to watch a show that outlines the history of abortion? The sex industry? AIDS? Breast cancer?

Where's Gloria Steinem on American Masters? Angela Davis? Audre Lorde? Pat Barker? Susan Sontag? June Jordan? bell hooks? Ani DiFranco? Kathleen Hanna? Le Tigre? I'm sorry -- watching an American Masters about Julia Child doesn't exactly keep me on the edge of my seat. I'm 24 and while I love PBS I feel let down. Everyday.
