More than Halloween happened last sunday.

A new LGBTQ Music Video TV Channel calledRightOutTV, which features 24/7 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender music video streaming, made its successful debut, making RighOutTV the first and only place online where the global LGBTQ community can view a constant stream of music videos from 'out' artists telling their stories.

Created, produced and hosted by lesbian dance/pop duo Marlee Walchuk and Tully Callender ofSugarbeach, RightOutTV was their dream finally brought to reality.  RightOutTV has an impressive list of features including:

· All Genres of music for all ages

· Big budget-produced videos and organic live performance videos

· Video-on-demand feature

· Interviews with featured artists

· PG rating for youth viewing

· “It Gets Better” campaign PSA’s

As SugarBeach were creating their own music videos, they were not able to find a globally accessible TV station where openly queer artists could easily share their videos in a constant stream of LGBT splendor. So was born RightOut TV.

Hosted by Marlee & Tully with their newly-wed chemistry, RightOut TV can be viewed from the U.S. to Iran through Africa. Audiences can experience some of the world’s top “out” artists gathered together in one place.

"Now more than ever, queer youth need mentors and role models from the LGBTQ community. It is here our youth will see pioneers like Tret Fure (U.S.A.) to newcomers like Jungal (Australia) and be exposed to artists they may not have otherwise come across."
