Lifetime Announces 1st GAY Xmas Mvoie
Titled "Christmas Set-up"
Hugo, a New York corporate lawyer and his best friend Madelyn head to Milwaukee to spend the holidays with his mom Kate, who is also in charge of the local Christmas celebrations. Ever the matchmaker, Kate arranges for Hugo to run into Patrick, Hugo’s high school friend and secret crush, who has recently returned after a successful stint in Silicon Valley. As they enjoy the local holiday festivities together, Hugo and Patrick’s attraction to each other is undeniable and it looks as though Kate’s well-intentioned Santa-style matchmaking is a success. But as Hugo receives word of a big promotion requiring a move to London, he must decide what is most important to him
Casting is underway - HOWEVER if Lifetime mandate is "Television for WOMEN" why are they doing this movie about gay men? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to do a Lesbian love-story as lesbians are women, hence the mandate for Lifetime is about WOMEN

OP, in my experience, I've known many straight women who go on and on about how much they love gay men. But they act weirded out by gay women.
Just like there are lots of straight men who are just fine with lesbians, but they get nervous around gay men.

TV doesn’t understand or care about the differences between gay men and heterosexual women. They think we are interchangeable.

Great news... I ordinarily don't watch these... (Jewish, and not into Christmas Hetero love stories) yet I may check these out. I cannot deny Lifetime can be an easy cheap escape for me at times, just usually the murdering, stalking, perving, and creeping scary plots.

OP perhaps they'll get on with a lesbian Christmas romance soon. I've watched a film about a young lesbian forced into a retaliatory gay conversion home on Lifetime before. (based on a true story) The heroine had a girlfriend and they featured them kissing, so I ddon't believe they're against the idea.
I think they finally realised that they have a huge gay male following, and are catering to that. Perhaps not as many lesbians?
Keep that chin up, and fingers crossed. You sound madly disappointed.

OP, are you not aware most of gay male romantic novels are written by women for women? Actually some of the best sexually explicit gay stories I've read have been by women. If a story has nuance and believable character development at Nifty I immediately think it's possibly by a woman.
