Perhaps you can help her out. Rex ***** Katherine Linton, (former senior producer and current host of In the Life, PBS' national newsmagazine on gay and lesbian issues,) and Kate Davis, (award winning producer, who's most recent documentary "Transgender Revolution" aired on A&E and was nominated for a GlAAD award,) are co-producing an hour documentary on anti-gay violence. The program will air as part of A&E's "Investigative Reports" series. This film will take a serious look into the rise of hate crimes against gay people nationwide, a trend which we believe is little known or understood by the general public. We are now in the fortunate position of exploring this issue in depth for a mainstream audience on primetime television. We will look at many cases of anti-gay violence around the country including a focus on schools and the military. Currently, we have many stories on violence against gay men, yet after two weeks of solid inquiry and pursuit, have been unable to locate a single incident against lesbians, that occurred within the last two years, in which the women are willing to speak on camera, (or a case where a family member, lover or friend will speak for them if they are unable.) If anyone who recieves this email knows of a case or was involved in an anti-lesbian attack and is willing to speak with us on camera, please contact me via email at katherinelinton@hotmail.com. Thank you for the time with this request. Sincerely, Katherine Linton
