"NoMoreDownLow.TV celebrates National Coming Out Day as our anniversary because we know how important it is to have positive role models in the LGBT black community. Our show focuses attention on out celebrities and gives a voice to people like Cpl. Evelyn Thomas who was on the frontlines of the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' fight and transgender heroes like Valerie Spencer," said Earnest Winborne executive producer of NoMoreDownLow.TV.

"Coming out in the black community has its challenges, but there are a lot of successful openly LGBT black people out there. It's as easy as turning on CNN and seeing Don Lemon at the anchor desk or meeting Chonsie Bullock, an out and proud lesbian in Inglewood, who runs her own successful business," said Winborne.

In its first year, NoMoreDownLow.TV has featured interviews with Colin Powell, Wanda Sykes, Magic Johnson, Blair Underwood, Rev. Al Sharpton, Phylicia Rashad, CNN's Don Lemon, Fox Sports host Curt Menefee, Loretta Devine, Kelly Rowland, Jill Scott, Jesse Williams, Roland Martin, Jackée Harry, Duane Cramer, civil rights icon Julian Bond, Doug Spearman, Darryl Stephens and more. Season One shows are available here: http://nomoredownlow.tv/?page_id=17

Happy Anniversary, hope you guys keep the episodes coming. My favorite story was the one on Bayard Rustin, it was very inspirational. 'thepetitionsite' could be used as a central place for supporters to get the networks attention. Thanks for producing such a great show.
