Lesbian Family Participates in New Reality Show on CBS

A new reality show from CBS, There Goes the Neighborhood, premiered on August 9.  Eight families in a suburban neighborhood are walled off from the rest of the neighborhood (and TV, internet, and all forms of communication with the outside world) in order to compete for upgrades to their homes and lives, and to win the grand prize of $250,000. 

What does this have to do with the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender world, you ask?  Well, there is an honest to goodness lesbian family as one of the participating families. 

Most of the The Mullennix-Goff-Hatcher Family has lived in the neighborhood for the past 11 years.  Over a year ago, mom Chris added her partner Renee to the mix.  Chris is raising one biological son from a previous marriage and is also raising her nephews after their parents were killed in an accident (one son is not participating in the show). 

Former American Idol top 12 finalist Matt Rogers hosts this 7-episode series that has 20 foot walls enclosing a Kennesaw, Georgia neighborhood as families vote to eliminate each other. 

Airing each Sunday at 9 pm, you can catch up with any missed episodes by viewing them in full at CBS.
