Aww Lawd, Why Me?

So, I was checking my email this afternoon and got two messages with attachment from two different friends. They BOTH contained the SAME attachment and is as follows:

Hi everyone:

Sorry for the mass email (and sorry to many of you for being so out of touch for so very long!).

I'm currently consulting on a gay & Asian documentary for Logo (MTV's new gay channel) and wanted to forward the casting call to you (it's at the end of the email).

If you know of anyone who might fit the bill or be interesting to profile, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could passed the message along.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hope you're all well and having a wonderful summer!

Best,
XXXXXXXXX

--LOGO is seeking people from the LGBT API community for a new documentary project…

We are hoping to find and show real stories to illustrate what it means to be LGBT and of Asian & Pacific Island descent in today's society.

If you are willing to be on camera, WE WANT TO HEAR YOUR STORY.

For instance, are you…
* Planning on introducing your partner to your family for the first time?
* Facing discrimination within the gay community?
* Having a difficult time dating someone with the same background as you?
* Having a difficult time dating people from different backgrounds?
* OR tell us any other stories/journeys that you feel are relevant to this topic.

PLEASE E-MAIL US AT: logoasian@mtvstaff.com

*Be sure to include your name and full contact information in your note (address, phone, e-mail, and best times to reach you). Tell us as much as you can about what your story is and what would happen if our cameras documented your life.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you ~ The Logo Team

Now, hey, that's great that there is frank discourse and that the LGBT community is getting a well deserved national voice with this new station. I also think that the idea of focusing on being LGBT from different ethnic standpoints is a great idea because the experience would be different for everybody. However....and this is the part I really disagree with....is that everyone assumes that I'm gay. I haven't seen the one girl in years...no wonder I didn't get laid in college! Fine. I subscribe to Elle Decor. Fine. I use product in my hair every day. Fine. I hate the way pleated pants fall and how my jeans hang on me. Fine. I sometimes find myself muttering "This years Christian Lacroix's pret a porter fall line looks like it was stolen from meth-head bag ladies". Fine.
