Now that Mark Bailey is posting more of the Gay Cable Network videos to YouTube, this was the perfect time for Rainbow Cincinnati to repost this piece and alert you to the GCN-Cincinnati Channel on YouTube. Historical Note: When originally aired in 1986, a caller to a powerful right-wing AM talk radio show said GCN "sodomized a turkey" on TV. GCN was immediately invited into the station to "answer" this charge. The program became more famous that night to many people who, otherwise, would never have given it a 2nd look. |

We hope in the future to move some of the features of Rainbow Cincinnati over to Facebook. In particular, the local Forums here will be closed. They've fallen into disuse and keeping them free of spam is never-ending. Currently, you'll find the link to our Facebook page in the upper-right corner. UPDATE 12/10/09: The old Forums have been retired. The Forums link has been replaced by a Facebook link which shows recent Rainbow Cincinnati Facebook posts. |
