If you head the words “gay” and “cable network,” what comes to mind? Probably LOGO… or Bravo… probably NOT BET. Well, thanks in large part to Sean Johnson, BET’s sister network BET J has become a source for some of the most fair, accurate, and inclusive portrayals of gay and lesbian lifestyles in television today.

GLAAD is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Sean Johnson speaks with Faith Salie on Fair Game.
