You'll want to check the channel for times in your area...but Biography (cable) has a few repeats coming up about George Michael, Boy George and Elton John.

May 11 - George Michael

May 15 (into 16) -  Boy George and Elton John

These are repeats.

Celebrities coming out

I wonder what others think about holding the two Georges up as role models for gay kids.  I don't want young people to think you have to get wasted to have sex.  They already deal with enough shame and guilt about their sexuality.  I think a lot of kids get into drugs to overcome their anxiety about sex, or use them to embolden themselves to take action on their feelings or performance abilities.  Elton on the other hand has overcome many of his demons and displayed the abilty to show that you can lead a clean happy life and make a contribution as an open LGBT person.

Biography isn't about role models

I think the point of the episodes is to show their lives...ups and downs, positives and negatives.

They did episodes on Hitler, Pol Pot, and other terrible figures...I don't think they meant them to be seen as role models.
