So I’m eating a quick dinner and watching, against my better judgment, the TV news broadcasts…and I get fed up and I flip around the satellite channels…and there’s Logo, that gay channel that very seldom has anything on it that I want to watch…and somehow the listings on the TV guide are severely truncated.  The Complete Tales of the City is listed merely as Tales…  Round Trip Ticket is listed as Trip.  There’s a listing for Latter…that I suspect is for Latter Days, one of the few same sex romances I’ve ever watched worthy of being called a romance.  So I navigate over to that timeslot and click for the program listing.  Here’s what I got:

Latter Days – Romance – Steve Sandvoss, Wes Ramsey.  A young Mormon missionary has a homosexual relationship after moving from Idaho to Los Angles.

Well that about sums it up, doesn’t it?  And in that spirit, I would like to offer to the program guide editors of DirectTV my own set of quick movie summaries:
