FeedLogo VP Lisa Sherman Explains Why Being Gay was a Career Killer
After spending 17 years in the closet at Verizon, LOGO Executive Vice President and General Manager Lisa Sherman came out and helped build the first gay television network. Not only has Sherman experienced incredible personal growth, but she was a driving force behind a media platform that continues to increase LGBT visibility.
At our Straight Talk event in New York, Sherman sat down with dot429 columnist R. Couri Hay to discuss her career, LOGO, and the inclusion of the LGBT community on TV.

Slowly but surely, the just and the joyful win out!
It is inspiring reading about the success of Lisa Sherman and how much she has brought to the logo network. I love rupaul but I can only watch so much of it. I would love for them to take this network to the next phase. As a gay woman I find the network boring. Boring boring boring. My goodness let's get some funny sitcoms and dramas going on. Cop shows are hot imagine if it the leading players were gay,bi,trans,straight let's be open and creative. Music shows cook shows and omg talk shows......I want this network to not just compete with other networks but prevail over them. Shucks I don't even recall watching any golf, tennis, football any sports. Let's get with the program people.....wake up and make it happen Lisa Sherman. Happy new year!
