Casting Call: Are You Willing To Come Out On Television?

If you are willing to come out on television, you might be interested in this casting call: Showtime Networks is in development on a documentary-style TV series titled Way Out that will find gays and lesbians revealing their sexual orientation to important people in their lives.

According to the casting notice, Way Out isn't simply about coming out but will also delve deep into what it is like to live life hiding an essential part of one's self.

FYI: The people behind the show include Bryn Freedman, who is the executive producer of A&E's Intervention, and Adam Drucker, Intervention's casting producer, and they promise to handle everyone featured on Way Out with care, dignity and respect. They will also provide counseling support to each subject throughout the process.

If you are interested in taking part in the show, visit the Way Out site for more details and to apply.

In the meantime, what do you think of the concept for this show? Do you think it is a good idea for people to come out on television?

This seems to be a horrible idea. It is tough enough to come out but to do it on camera? I remember the yelling, the horrible, hateful words. Also, the "We must have potty trained you too soon." (My mother actually said this, which is pretty funny today.) While they say they will provide counseling, which is good, this really puts people in horrible situations. (My ex-b/f was physically assaulted by his father when he came out. Showing something like that would be manipulative.)
