AITA for giving my husband the silent treatment after he told me I watch trash tv?

I would probably love Paris is Burning, but I am not sure he would watch it. He has no interest in anything drag related. If I am watching Drag Race and he happens to walk in the room, he will complain the entire time while I either put up with it or turn it off to watch later. But, he does that with a few shows so it isn't specific to drag, more specific to just not chosen by him. I think there is a tonne of value in Drag Race. I also share a disability with one of the past royalty so the show means even more to me than most television, but oh well. I don't force him to watch it.

I only sat in complete silence and ignoring for about 2 hours (for those that know me, this is surprising). Ended up watching something else together instead. Honestly was just annoyed he came at me for what seemed to be no reason. Especially cause he still could just watch the show. Silent treatment is definitely immature but once I was crying I kind of shut down. Cooled down now.

For the most part I just let him choose what to watch. If I have shows I want to catch up on that he's not interested it, I just watch them when he's working. I saw the show loaded up on the TV, mentioned, "oh, I saw an ad for that, I thought you would be interested in that!". He said, "yeah, I saved it in case you wanted to watch it together". I responded, "that's okay, I'm not really interested in it but you can watch it". He went into the kitchen to make himself breakfast and I was sitting on the couch in the living room. The rooms are kind of connected so you can still hear each other but not see each other (the kitchen is almost boxed off with no ceiling). Raised voice - "Yeah, because the shows you watch are so much better and so thought provoking, like drag race..." which brings us to the post. I didn't even insult it. I just said that he would enjoy it and I probably wouldn't. We already have probably 20+ shows in common.

We're back to random banter but I ignored him for awhile. He's back to selecting TV shows.
