Last year, Out celebrated its 20th anniversary. And a decade after the magazine launched, Americans finally had the first TV channel with content for an LGBT audience.
That's what Here TV — owned by the same company as Out — did 10 years ago, and it's been providing unabashedly queer content ever since. The 24-hour subscription service airs on all major U.S. cable systems and in 96 of the top 100 U.S. markets, and features sexy fare like The Lair, hilarious shows such as She's Living for This, and news programs including For and Against.
