Queerview television guide for May 7

A busy day of gay TV includes Tyra Banks asking if "Gay is the new black," a babynapping on Ugly Betty and the debut of Bravo's new series The Fashion Show. It's been nearly seven months since the last new episode of Project Runway ... can The Fashion Show make up for the lack of fashion-themed reality TV?

But first, it's time for more family drama for Luke on today's As the World Turns. We'll be following the action with a liveblog so be sure to join us starting at 2PM Eastern!

As the World Turns (CBS) Check local listings
The battle between Snyders, Grimaldis, Walshes and Snyders-né-Grimadis continues this week as Lucinda and Holden discover Damian's big secret.

The Rachael Ray Show (syndicated) Check local listings
With Brothers & Sisters' season finale coming up this weekend, Matthew Rhys stops by today to dish about how the Walkers will be getting ready for summer vacation. And that means hearing Matthew speak in his native accent!

The Tyra Banks Show
Tyra tries to approach another nuanced subject today when she looks at the controversial phrase "Gay is the new Black." In light of Proposition 8, do gays have reason to compare their struggles with the struggles African-Americans faced earlier? Once again, I find myself wondering if Tyra has the subtle touch to handle a topic with this kind of complexity.

Lt. Dan Choi

The Rachel Maddow Show (MSNBC) 8:00 PM EDT
One of Rachel's most dramatic guests, Lt. Dan Choi, is scheduled to make a return visit tonight. Choi is a West Point Graduate and anti-DADT activist who came out on Maddow's show. Now that he has been notified that he will be facing a discharge for being openly gay, he is returning to discuss his case.

Ugly Betty (ABC) 8:00 PM EDT
Great Scott! (Okay, I'm just looking forward to seeing Marc say "Great Scott!") Baby William is kidnapped, prompting a mini-whodunit and, most likely, some coverage by fashion TV gossip monger Suzuki St. Pierre (Alec Mapa). Hmm, wasn't Betty's last mini-mystery a way to write out a major character getting ready for a departure?

The Millionaire Matchmaker (Bravo) 9:00 PM EDT
Oh, dear. Tonight, Patti takes on her first gay client and considering the gays in her life seem to have stepped out of 1972, this could easily be as uncomfortable as that episode where Oscar came out on The Office.

The gay competitors of The Fashion House

The Fashion Show (Bravo) 10:00 PM EDT
Bravo's newest fashion-themed reality show takes 15 designers and challenges them to put together a fashion show every week. Like most Project Runway seasons, this show has plenty of gays in its cast, which in this case means six out competitors. With the former producers of Project Runway behind it, will The Fashion Show be able to make up for Runway's long absence?

Southland (NBC) 10:00 PM EDT
It's another week with Bryant and Moretta in the spotlight as they help their boss Salinger when he loses his gun, but that shouldn't mean that Cooper will be on the sidelines.
