Sure they would, if you were qualified. In fact, it might even make you more interesting to them.

Kind of reminds me of one of my old jobs. I was a graphic designer for a newspaper - the Boston Phoenix, which is like the Village Voice, sort of. It has those sex ads in the back. You know, the big breasted lady, the guy's pecs or bum, with XXX on top and a suggestive tag line?

I used to design the sex ads.

You would not be scared off by not having the required experience? Is that something one better ignores and applies anyway?

Well, I don't have the gay adult entertainment experience--unless you count fandom, and if I apply I will mention experience with gay erotica. But I DO have the three years' editing experience: I was an editor and copy editor (and writer) at The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley's pretty classy college paper.

Ha, that's excellent. Those must have made interesting clips later. *g*

And I do have the journalism experience. Not to mention the heaps o'porn that I've written and read. I'm just worried that they'll see I'm a woman and balk.

You need to apply. And I don't think your parents would disown you. Well, your dad might be squicked for life, but I'm sure your mom would come around.

YES!

And if they want someone with a bit more experience, maybe you can get a job as a writer! Because naked men all the time. And possible free porn memberships for your friends!

*eager on your behalf, but you know, also for selfish reasons*
