My partner and I were recently contacted by a reality-based TV show that documents people in the process of buying a new home. We think it's a hilarious prospect and have gone ahead with our audition tape (which they loved), and are now finalizing dates for the taping. I am still hesitant. Will we be fulfilling yet another gay/lesbian/alternative checkbox for the TV show? Will they edit our segments to emphasize our "alternative" lifestyle? Or, shall we go ahead with it, hoping that we can contribute to the positive protrayal of LGBTs in mainstream media? Wouldn't it be exciting if we were featured with no mention of our sexuality, in the same way that last night's episode did not introduce "Dick & Jane, a heterosexual couple looking for their first home."
