MTV Networks is casting for a new special.
Please consider applying for the show if you're an LGBT teen or young adult who appears to be 15-25 years old and lives in the USA. You should also be open to sharing your stories and struggles on-camera.
If interested, please email us atLGBTspecial@gmail.com .
Please include your name, location, phone number & photo… and tell us about yourself and your current circumstances.
[For example, tell us your coming-out story… or why you haven't come out yet. Who are the main people in your life, and how do they feel about your sexual identity? Why do you feel alone? Do you ever feel down? What's a typical day like for you? Is there anything that you are afraid to do (but wish you had the guts to do) in the next three months?]
The more information about yourself and your life that you can tell us, the better we get to know you!
--Alternatively, If you do not get picked or do not feel comfortable in from of a camera, feel free to send your stories to Rainbow Serenity at: writers@rainbowserenity.org |
