TV PSA Seeking African American Bisexual/Fluid Men - SoCal Only
Rodney Nickens
your time permits. Noted bisexual filmmaker, Kyle Schickner
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyle_Schickner) has joined with the
American Institute of Bisexuality (www.bisexual.org) and GLAAD to
create TV PSA's for and about the bisexual/pansexual/fluid
communities. Filming happens this weekend in Sherman Oaks, please
contact Kyle for more info at fencesit...@aol.com.
Thanks for taking the time to pass this along,
~Faith Cheltenham, BiNet USA (*New Website*, www.binetusa.org)
P.S.
If you missed it, I represented the bi community during the 2010 LGBT
Reception at the White House. It was great meeting Obama and I even
got him to laugh. Great respect for what he's done so far; hope and
pray for more!

Hey Faith,
Thank you so much for being apart of what we hope will be a successful
and influential campaign. You involvement is key.
Your call time is 1:30pm on Saturday the 13th.
We will be providing hair and make up when you get there and if all
goes according to schedule you will be out of there in an hour. If
you can please come dressed in simple earth tone clothes and perhaps
bring a back up option or two as well. Avoid white or anything with
stripes, as they do not film as well.
The script will be provided to you once you get there. Don’t worry
too much about memorizing anything, they are simple, one sentence
statements. After we record that I will spend a few minutes asking
you a few questions on camera to get your thoughts on tape.
Finally, I will ask you to come up with three separate words that
define you. It could be anything, your profession, being a parent,
activist, anything at all. For one of the PSAs you will be saying “I
am _____________, and I am bisexual.” Make sense?
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. If not we I
will see you on Saturday.
Yours,
Kyle

"And as with so many movements, it was also something more: It was at
this defining moment that these folks who had been marginalized rose
up to challenge not just how the world saw them, but also how they saw
themselves. As we've seen so many times in history, once that spirit
takes hold there is little that can stand in its way. And the riots at
Stonewall gave way to protests, and protests gave way to a movement,
and the movement gave way to a transformation that continues to this
day. It continues when a partner fights for her right to sit at the
hospital bedside of a woman she loves. It continues when a teenager is
called a name for being different and says, "So what if I am?" It
continues in your work and in your activism, in your fight to freely
live your lives to the fullest."
~President Barack H. Obama
