I have been a fan of True Life for a long time. One of my favorites was the one they did about straight guys who do gay porn. Well now MTV is looking for LGBT athletes who want to tell their coming out stories for its “True Life” show. Check out the pitch below via Outsports:
TRUE LIFE: I’M COMING OUT TO MY TEAM
Are you planning to come out to your teammates? Have you been afraid or hesitant to come out to your sports team as gay, bisexual, or transsexual but are now planning to reveal yourself? Perhaps you’ve already come out to your friends and now have to face the upcoming season with teammates who still think you’re straight? Or maybe you’re unsure of how your fellow athletes would react if they knew, and thus have not come out to anyone?Whatever your situation may be, if you are planning to come out to your teammates and appear to be between the ages of 15 and 28, MTV wants to hear from you. Please email us at comingout@mtvn.com and be sure to include your name, location and phone number.
While this in my opinion would be a great show to check out, i seriously doubt you'll get younger kids to take such a risk for the sake of MTV's cameras. I really think they should up the age range on this one. Although I know MTV tries to cater to the much younger reality-based Generation Z, I think it would make a much more compelling program if you mix young athletes with older ones.
