Cable channel chopped it

I caught this last night on the Logo ( gay channel ) subsidized by CBS network. It seemed to me that it was edited to pieces in certain scenes...ie..the skinny dipping, the final 3 way trois. I thought cable was suppose to be more liberal in its showings, than the broadcast networks. The skinny dip scene, the butts and whatever were 'disguised'...the ending of the 3 way, it shows Josh hand moving over to Baldwin's butt and then there was a fade out...The ending was ambiguous to say the least....

I've given up on Logo. If I find out about a movie that I've never heard about, I generally try to watch it somewhere else, where I know it won't be censored. Who knew a gay channel would be run by a bunch of prudes?!

i dont think they are a gay channel anymore.... showing "16 and pregnant", "teen mom", & "engaged & under-age" around the clock...

LOGO channel tends to do that a lot; probably because they're not a scrambled premium channel. The main exception is one or two late night movies on Friday.

I'd always felt that LOGO was being a little too careful in that regard, but then I don't know who watches over the unscrambled cable channels (the way the FCC watches over the broadcast channels). That authority, like the MPAA was with movies for so many years, may be more strict about gay sex than about straight sex.

You may be mistaken about CBS's involvement, my best information is that LOGO is run by MTV — which could be run by CBS, I haven't found any information either way as yet. (Still looking.)
