Alright, first I want to apologize for taking so long with these Catholic school boys. I have completed all the interviews and now all I have to do is get them typed up. I don’t know why it’s taking so long but I’m going to blame it all on the fact that I was too busy staring at the rather homoerotic art up at Caffe Paradiso.
Now that that apology and plug is over, I have a request for help. A buddy of mine needs to talk to you young gays out there about the media you like. And by young gays I mean LGBT folk in the range of 17 - 19 years old. He’ll give you pizza. I know this sounds like an episode of To Catch A Predator but I know this guy and he’s an Illini fan, so he must be legit, right?
Here’s his massmail:
Helloooooo boys,
OK so I have a favor to ask of you. I am in the early stages of preparing the data collection for my dissertation and I need to get a small group (9-12) of gay and lesbian students together to discuss the kind of media they like. The catch is that they all have to be “teenagers,” meaning that I have to find 17, 18 or 19-year-old students.
Given that I am as old as dirt, I clearly don’t know many 17, 18 and 19 year-old students. I know you’re all older than this as well, but I was hoping you could help me out by passing along this email to any folks you know that would fit into that demographic. I figured you all might be better connected than I am.
It would only take about 45 minutes one night this coming week or next weekend. Literally we would get together on campus, I’d bring pizza, and we would sit around and talk about TV shows, movies, and magazines. SUPER easy gig.
Pleeeease feel free to pass along any names that I could beg or give my email addy to anyone who could help me out.
Thanks in advance for your help guys!
