Since it’s June, the networks are representing with lots of queer fare. But most of the Pride schedules consist of “Brokeback” reruns and other programs we’ve already caught at the LGBT film fests. But there are some fresh debuts — like FX’s “30 Days.”

Morgan Spurlock is the guy who called out how McDonald’s unhealthy food For his doc “Super Size Me,” he chowed on nothing but Mickey D’s for an entire month.

Spurlock’s television series “30 Days” is kind of the same thing. Spurlock either subjects himself to a month of new experiences — like working as a West Virginia coal miner — or finds someone else to do it.

Kati, the mother of two adopted sons who was herself adopted as an infant, believes that same-sex parents shouldn’t raise children. In Tuesday’s episode, Kati goes to live with domestic partners Dennis and Thomas Patrick and their four adopted sons in Ann Arbor, Mich. She will volunteer with an advocacy group for children with same-gender parents and attend meetings of a local lesbian mothers networking group.
